I don't know, something inside me cringes when someone who is able to live all the way to 113 is waving their finger calling for a revolution to treat the elderly better, when the average young person growing up today will be lucky to even live to 70 without some kind of debt forcing them to slave away until the day they kill themselves from depression and loneliness in a rotting society or die from a curable/preventable illness without affordable healthcare.
And it's not like I have no sympathy for the elderly as a young person. I just can't hear these complaints over the cries of all the young people with no hope, no future, who have no power to change a damn thing. If anything, the fact that these people are able to live past 100 says something positive about our world today, rather than that they've been forgotten or neglected in some way.
Anyone want to tell me I'm wrong? Am I the asshole here?
