People becoming more conservative as they age really seems to stem from a combination of political illiteracy, possessing some form of capital and wanting to defend it, and the incentive set of living in capitalism to fuck over everyone for your own gain.

Millennials and Zoomers are generally less conservative because they own squat. Who cares if your home tax is 0.5% higher than last year if you'll never be able to own a home?

I think a part of it, in the west at least, is the 24 hour news cycle that is constantly fearmongering. Conservatives are reactionary, and the best way to get people to just react instead of act is to freak out the lizard part of the brain and make it think they are constantly under attack.
