Plenty of young people are like this too, my point is that transphobia is manufactured by capitalists to divide the proletariat and that's what they're doing right now.

    Yup. Here in Finland the under 25's most popular party in the recent parliamentary election was the extremist right wing one, followed by the "fiscal" conservatives (ie. they'd be OK with the extremists setting up concentration camps for leftists and foreigners as long as the camp was operated by a private corporation that didn't have to pay taxes). Granted that we're a pretty conservative country to begin with, but statistically gen X / millennial folks are more liberal than younger people here, and it just keeps getting worse every time there's an election.

    People seem to find it comforting to believe that everyone under 30 is this close to seizing the means of production and declaring a socialist utopia, and they would have done it too if it wasn't for those darn Olds and their stupid conservatism, which is totally something young people just don't do

    We're not in Finland, this is America, it's an entirely different country. You're talking about your own country and it's different with different people.

    We're talking about 80 year olds, not any of those younger people. Old people are the problem, they should retire, not enter politics

    Why should young, inexperienced people run the country? I admit that the US Govt. Is a tad too old, especially the current president. But, that doesn’t mean we need a bunch of Berkeley students running things either. No thanks.

    Look, I know, I was once a kid/young adult too and didn’t listen to my parents or senior people very often, went against the grain, etc. but you eventually realize that maybe they DO know more than you did when you were in your 20s or whatever.
