(19,326 posts)I'm 68, have been paying into the system, and paying attention
and active in one way or another since the sixties for progressive
democratic and participatory change, esp.economic democracy
wise.
Why am I being flatly accused here of "throwing everyone else
under the bus", merely because of my age? There is a name for
that i.e. agism.
This kind of blanket condemnation of millions of older Americans
who have been fighting the good fight as best we can for decades is
totally uncalled for, rude, and it certainly 'disrupted' my otherwise
rather pleasant evening. So I have this to say:
FUCK YOU!!!!
You obviously know next to nothing about how to build consensus,
or how to organize towards better collective outcomes; so I have
nothing further to say to you ... except grow up and come back
when you are ready to collaboratively build a better future for all.
I'm not blowing any TOS whistles here, but I am sorely tempted.
