From Ed West's Wrong Side of History Substack today

'People born after the late 1970s are not becoming more conservative as they age, but the opposite. This was the thesis of my book Small Men on the Wrong Side of History, something I came to notice among contemporaries as I approached middle age. What people used to mean by ‘conservative’ was that they were ageing into the values of their society. That still happens, it’s just that the dominant values are post-revolutionary and ‘countercultural’. When young people violate those values by breaking anti-sexism or anti-racism taboos, the middle aged react in a way familiar to 1950s maiden aunts faced with gyrating rock and roll stars.'

In Romania people over fifty have the same kind of views as they had when I came here in the 1990s - meaning robustly conservative - but younger ones have become much social liberals to an extent. You see this, for example, on single sex marriage.
