I think ageism is going to be the final frontier of prejudice. I see folks who advocate for every other kind of acceptance just absolutely bash older generations and vice versa. Nothing unites us quite like our disdain for people who aren’t roughly the same age as us.
But the truth is we’re all equally shitty. If some divinity snapped its fingers and swapped entire generations through time, none of us would do any better or worse than the generations whose place we were taking the place of.
I just wish we could collectively do less finger pointing and more collaborative problem solving.
