As someone not from the USA, looking at things as an external observer, it's really weird for me to see this increasing age-related hate. Instead of focusing on removing fascists, conservatives and the ultrarich from power, you're focusing on age as if it's the determinant factor on someone's character and intentions, and even promoting more age-related stigma. I even wonder if it's some sort of coordinated mass manipulation to prevent the increasingly radicalizing people from taking out the groups in power, by letting them fight against the older ones, while they prepare younger fascists to run the place, but that would be too much of a conspirational thought. Anyway, good luck with that, let's see how all this will develop.

The problem I see with that thinking is that there are different levels of what can be considered unethical, but it usually gives the idea of "since it's all unethical, it's all the same". For example, buying something from a smaller company is usually much better than from a big one that uses slave labor.

Bring on the political science and jazz posts! Would love to see them around.

I've been saying this to people for a long time. Here in my country, most water filters are based on charcoal and a final filtering element. That element used to be made of cellulose and other organic materials, but in the last decade, they started coming with that element made of polypropylene, until all the cellulose ones disappeared from the market. Just imagine your water passing though a porous layer of plastic, like a rigid sponge... this is a serious microplastic source.

Don't underestimate the capacity of rich people to flaunt their excesses, while the people are suffering in scarcity.
