is it the people who are currently old who are doing that? or is a system that creates people to perpetuate the system which does that?

You don’t have to be an old person to be regressive.
In my opinion, the people with the most world experience have always been the most progressive. It is a shame that The Silent Generation were not able to pass on their knowledge and experience to the current batch of misguided Millennials, Gen Y, Gen X and boomers who want things to be like they were in “The Old Days”, even though they don’t know how terrible “The Old Days” actually were.
