I do not agree with the notion of “wise elders”. I don’t want to dismiss the wisdom that comes with experience and time, but there’s too many other factors to disrupt it.
Alter schützt vor Torheit nicht or, in Billy Shakespeare’s words: “There’s No Fool Like an Old Fool”
The boomers have completely destroyed the illusion of age equaling wisdom. They’re the generation most responsible for today, and today is a shitshow of unbridled narcissism.
IDK; my father is one or two generations before boomers and what they did was not better.
I understand the sentiment behind the statement but rn we need young progressives at the forefront more than anything.

Elders are not the solution. Hero worship is a fatal flaw, and this author might know that, but the headline suggests otherwise.
“Wise Elders” is why we are in this shit show. They “know all” about shit that was wrong even 20 years ago, and hold onto to the feelings of the time (racism) and poison the modern well with those feelings.
Old Men… are the future.
China, Russia and US… All lead by the biggest pieces of shit in each respective country…
I wish a sociologist could fully explain to us how humans keep giving power to the least qualified person possible.
You want your car fixed and you’ll google and compare and evaluate and get references, yet voting for the guy leading you a simple BS Facebook post will do…
Dumb people have a lot of undeserved confidence, if you’re confident then people like you. It’s like salesmen.
And stupid voters. Don’t forget the stupid apathetic voters.

Sorry, overlooked the “opinion” part of the sidebar. Feel free to remove.
I don’t think it’s too polarising, though.
It might be an opinion piece but that summary is 100% true.
It’s missing “idiotic” in the description, somewhere, though.
World would be better place if womem vote exclusively for women.
True. We need more Margaret Thatchers alongside the Trump’s of this world.
