Comment on Are our societal problems being caused because modern technology allows people to be old for longer?

No. Young people can be just as fucking stupid.
Look at dipshits like “Big Balls.” Only 19 and doing their best to fuck up the country.
Really curious what ever came of the 4chan breach.
My pet conspiracy theory is that 4chan was used for psyops…manipulating teenagers/20-somethings, breeding the whole incel/mens rights shit, and using it as a megaphone for Trump…and the admins were in on it.
I’m more talking about material conditions. Older people need more and produce less and if you’re a young person today you have more older people to support than ever before. On top of that a growing older population is a growing population with a vested interest in not changing society. My rhetorical question is deliberately inflammatory but I do honestly think that the average lifespan has grown faster than our society’s ability to adapt to an ageing population and young people will be the ones most impacted.

I don’t blame Big Balls. If I was 18-19 and the richest man on earth asked me to fix the government with him, I don’t think I would have turned him down. Kids aren’t known for their judgement skills.
