Although I suspect we're blowing this out of proportion and certain parts are not direct quotes but interpretations I don't want identity politics with my coffee. I used to be left, but with the current identity-politics and left-wing extremism growing in Sweden I've becoming increasingly conservative, and I'm only 26. Didn't expect it so soon.

The culture swims continuously left, so a liberal in his 20s, who does not change a single viewpoint, finds himself a conservative in his 40s, and a reactionary in his 60s.

If you were expecting it eventually, maybe it was there all along...

Many people become conservative as they get older, so maybe he is just comparing himself to the norm.

Winston Churchill once said, "If a man isn't a liberal in his twenties, has has no heart. And, if he isn't a conservative in his forties, he has no brain."
