If the boomers are gonna go around telling people “you’ll get more conservative as you get older and have money”

Can we start telling fascists “you’ll get less fascist as you get older and the same horrifying shit you were initially in favor of starts to threaten YOUR safety, in turn”

Idk, it’s not as catchy but I think it’s still short enough to make an impact

You'll get more conservative as you get older (with more money and privilege)

You'll get less fascist as you get colder (as the government you put in power let's civil infrastructure fall apart and/or straight up gun you down)

A place to stay Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what’s more
No one ever disappears you never hear their standard issue
Kicking in your door
You can relax
On both sides of the tracks
And maniacs
Don’t blow holes
In bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore
