I remember always getting annoyed at colleagues and Hacker News generally for being technolibertarian fanboys. And now I'm constantly annoyed at the sanctimony and self-indulgence of the "Left," even though I hate granting them that label.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

Well unfortunately nothing can stop that, but things have definitely changed. I remember thinking that too.

Old saying

If you're young and you don't have left wing views, you have no heart.

If you're old and you still have left wing views, you have no brain.

... but the terms left and right have lost all meaning so this saying is kinda meaningless too.

That "saying" was never good. It's just an extremely simplistic way for right wingers to pat themselves on the back.
