What does that mean?

I might have grown more right-wing in certain topics. I don't think I've succumbed to the system. But I'm not sure.

I'm thinking more socially. I grew up learning about the counterculture and hippy movement. And yet, the same generation, i.e. Boomers, that brought those activism now have become (and being stereotyped as) conservative.

I came from a conservative culture. The media from the boomer generation teaches to question authority figures (there was dictatorship at the time). Despite that, many boomers demand unquestionable loyalty respect from younger folks.

Now that I mentioned it, maybe people become conservative once they get to be in position of power.
