I love this channel, and starting my day with this video, it put me into this amazing open-hearted place where I long to unite with others to build something better whereas I am much more prone, normally, to angrily wish to tear the capitalist's world down.

    Hearing boomers cry “ageism” is like when white people cry “reverse racism” when a POC calls them “cracker.” There is a power dynamic that must be considered

      Being white is universally connected with having power. Being old is not universally connected with having power.

        Being old is not universally connected with having power.

        It currently correlates highly with being an extremely privileged (like nobody else in human history) piece of shit

          Most people in power are old, but most old people are not in power. Plenty of old people are rotting away in low income housing drowning in medical debt and utilities bills. If you're mad at people in power, be mad at people in power, don't drag the 5 million senior citizens in America below the poverty line into this.
