    No, old people don’t suck. Exceptionally powerful people who have have let the rot of a corrupt system sink into their bones suck.

    Your age doesn’t matter. It’s your choices and how you live them that matter.

      Thank you. Finding yet another scapegoat helps no one. The 1% is at fault.

      I may be over 60, but I’m still on the correct side of the class war.

        The 1% will do everything in their power (and that’s a lot) to distract us from the fact that it’s always been rich vs. poor. It’s a tale as old as society itself.

        The working class is by far the largest intersectional group, so they want to keep us from organizing by dividing and conquering.

        We can’t make stereotypical assumptions about anyone.

        For example, I’m Christian, but I DO NOT support the right wing lunatics who are wearing the skin of Christianity to legitimize their entire evil dance routine, like some serial killer like Ted Bundy or Paul Bernardo. Anyone who acts evil should be called out for it, and have consequences for their actions also.

          And any real Christian would know that we support the poor and the downtrodden, and that a rich man can’t make it into the kingdom of heaven.

          You seem to understand that

            Jesus always had hard words for the leaders who pretended to be righteous, so definitely.

            We could have Heaven on Earth, if we actually followed Jesus. Instead, we get clowns and conmen warping His Word for their own purposes. Wolves in sheeps clothing. It’s frustrating to say the least.

              Very!

              Keep being kind, we will need community in the coming years. I’m not even religious, but seeing what community can do gives me a certain kind of faith.

          I am an atheist - without any hostility to the faithful of any religion. It is the character of the person’s morality that interest me. I am always willing to listen to and work with anyone with compassion for “the children of God”. Your faith is a matter between you and God. I am an ally.
