It’s the older world leaders and influential peoples brain rot. They’re going down and don’t give a fuck plus stupid racist people.
Edit: indented for ‘generations’ to avoid confusion.
There are plenty of hate-filled young people in the world.
Yeah, but it's the Crypt Keepers that run shit into the dirt. Most wealth and political power is in the hands of old, self-serving ghouls.
Then it would just be in the hands of young, self-serving ghouls. Age is such a red herring.
Yeah, maybe you're right, but I'd much rather have the self-serving ghouls that lead us not actively sundown right before our eyes. Time isn't exactly something a geriatric with their brain melting has on their side.
Edit: Apparently, the avg age of our representatives is around the early 60s, only about 5 years before mental decline really starts kicking into 5th gear.
It feels like you're just telling me you wish evil people were more competent. Self-serving ghouls being better at being self-serving ghouls isn't the solution.
The system is rigged against us, designed to benefit the powerful and the expense of everyone else. It's got fuck all to do with the age of politicians. Young politicians will still be working within that rigged system, getting rich from it, taking bribes within it, gerrymandering it, etc, etc, etc.
It's not age. None of our problems... literally not a single one... is the result of politicians being old. Old voters, maybe, though I think it's pretty silly to think none of these people care about the world they leave for their children as opposed to actually believing climate change isn't real, etc, etc... nevermind the fact that there are millions of conservatives of every age and they all believe the same bullshit. But regardless, our polticians are the result of a million other more important things than their age.
It's frustrating to see so many people complain about it. It's almost meaningless.
The elderly won't have to live in the world they create. The young ones will.
Yeah, nobody cares about their kids, and young conservatives are totally ready to address climate change.
Bullshit. Seriously, it's a red herring.
