The reason allowing oligarchs to encourage this split between younger people and older people is dumb is because it's just incorrect.
Look at voting stats. Thinking it's all older people causing all of this shit ignores the GROWING younger population that is turning to fascism. It's ignoring all the older people who are not fascists.
So many people seem to think "the problem will die out in time". Congrats, you've fallen for the propaganda. While you're busy giving up on change because the problem will fix itself, they're busy indoctrinating the next generation and strengthening their position.
So all this fucking ageist bullshit only serves to make fascism stronger.
There is only one thing we need to do: Throw out fascists by any means necessary. I don't care about age, gender, race, wealth level. All I care about: Are you against fascism? Then let's go and throw them out.
I've been closely following politics since the 80s, with Ronnie Ray-Gun, and Dems were constantly spouting the line that the Republican party was going to die off and leave them to inherit the government.
But years went by, and thanks to Rush Limbaugh, and later podcasts, the Conservative Propaganda Machine became an extremely effective recruiter and indoctrinator of young people to replace the dying old ones.
Yet, Dems continued to lean on that tired old myth that they will ascend to power after the funeral for the Republican Party, even as the Republican party grew stronger and more powerful with each election.
Another example of how pathetic the Democratic party is.
Seeing all of these racist chat groups keep popping up is proof that fascism and racism aren’t going anywhere.
Yep. And they're encouraging incels because that leads people into fascism/naziism as well. So it's only going to get worse.
Being Left requires thought. You have to weigh all the potential solutions and listen to a lot of differing ideas. You have to be respectful and consider things that might not make a lot of sense to you.
Being Fascist means putting on boots and kicking ass.
