Parmandur
Book-Friend, he/him
Aristotle thought political positions were more or less determined by the balance of bodily Humors and the positionof the stars, and substituting a modern scientific understanding of the phenomenon he was analyzing, he had some valid points about personality and situation taking priority over ideals for most people.I would say most people are conservative by nature. A lot of my high school buddies didn't become conservative, they were conservatives by default. They just didn't realized it until they became afraid to loose their pension plan if the economic system changes too much.
People look and talk differently at me now that I look visibly older (57). They assume I'm an right wing old fart because I'm older. I often have to repeat what I say twice because they don't actually hear my left wing stance on issues on the first attempt to communicate with younger people.
