ppl saying like "when the old people all age out and die we'll finally have a progressive society" and it's so funny cuz
1. the nazi twenty-somethings sure disproved that
2. the old ppl who remember the good 'ole days of MLK and the labor movement are like super radical and important and frequently show up when young ppl don't and i will be very sad when they all die and aren't there to sing updated union hymns at ICE and the young ppl don't remember or understand the tradition

@spinach oh gosh that must've been fucking awful
Also yes if I did the young person isolationist thing where I only interacted with other "Most Radicals" I wouldn't at all have learned about how to conduct civil disobedience effectively and manipulate the press. Seasoned experience and wisdom is SO important. Also stuff like affinity groups, keeping organizations together without overly centralizing leadership, this isn't stuff you get without older people
