 I was told that you're supposed to mellow with age, but I feel like the older I get, the more radicalized I become from observing my government's actions. 
 Never have I seen a sentiment that me me go SAME so loud. 
 Exactly correct

 Same...also being alienated in my opinions adds to the rage I feel at times. 
 You’re told you’re expected to mellow so you become oblivious and get into bed with the abuser 
 count on it not mellowing/ experience! 
 it's called crotchity, I heard that anyway 
 At least for me, this is a function of having children. 
 Just imagine if you knew the truth when you were younger. 
 We'd be unstoppable for sure 😊

 Two trajectories for aging:  the mellowing out one, and the “I’ll say whatever I want because what are you gonna do about it” crotchety badass one 
 I agree with your note

 100% agreed. Mine is a odd combination.  I feel absolute and growing rage at the powers that be. And yet I’m calmer and more patient by the day with the people in my life. 
 You’re not radicalized, you’re just more aware. 
 Just dring more and/or smoke weed daily, eat crap food, don't ever exercise, play video games a lot and watch all the news. 
Guaranteed results. 
 We aren't changing much, the world around us is changing a lot. 
 You are not alone. 
 Free radicals are dangerous, didn't you know? 
 Agreed. Btw - check your DMs 
 Mee too

 Same. The older you get the more you understand what's happening.  
 in our youths we are protected and allowed to be inocent. 
in our middle years we grind
in our dotage we finally get to observe

when we observe, that everything we paid for in blood sweat and tears, was and continues to being stolen by nameless, faceless thieves, enforced by a corrupted judiciary .....

is that really radicalism or wisdom?

let them feel the force Obi Wan 🙃 
 
 As it should be. 
 You're not alone there. 
 Same 
 l can relate to this. I used to be a libertarian, now I am a practical anarchist.  
 For me, I have mellowed in some aspects - but have grown very irritable when faced with bs.
