really hate how ageism has become mainstream these days… especially when there’s so many shitty politicians under 50.
There are some government jobs that have mandatory retirement at a certain age (usually 65)-- is that ageism? I also don’t believe the majority of 80+ people are capable of understanding the modern needs of most of the country.
A case by case judgement should be made.
Also, some of this may become increasingly moot as breakthroughs come.
I’ll be against agism aimed at our ruling class when we stop living in a fucking gerontocracy. This isn’t even the first us Congress critter to have this kind of a spotlight, and rightly goddamned so.
I don’t care how many shitty sub-50 politicians there are when we’re discussing politicians that are so goddamned old they can’t even do their job. Shit like this and Diane ‘hiding totally-not-dementia with the constant escort’ Feinstein need to stop, along with Mitch ‘grandpa rebooted again’ McConnell.
How many crypt keepers need to die in office before we acknowledge that these people are too fucking old?!?! Hell, look at the current president/president elect: two fucking dementia riddled idiots.
Same. It’s about the capabilities of the person.
Also, this may become increasingly silly, and won’t, ahem, age all that well as a position to have on politicians if/when life extension starts to come online/become more prominent.
I’ll respect the anti-ageists when they acknowledge that discrimination against young people is ageism.
This boggled my mind from the moment I first learned of it
