Yeah, I notice the same thing IRL - most people (except for the very young and rather naive) don’t tend to fall for what seems to be a rather obvious ploy to further atomize and divide.

But online, holy cow, I seem to see a whole lot of alleged progressives that seem to be deeply engaged in lots and lots of discussions involving identity and intersectional this or that and lecturing on language (see as an example, “the r word”), but then be apparently very okay with dunking on “boomers” and seemingly being more preoccupied with the age of someone like Biden or Nancy or Taco or Schumer, etc., vs. things of actual substance…

I’ve said it a lot here, but this kind of thing is going to age like fine wine if/when breakthroughs in life extension/age reversal come online. I cannot believe how backward and regressive a lot of these positions are, but apparently this kind of thing is one of the last areas where it is perfectly fine to show bigotry (while in so many areas and corners of the 'net, the progressives love to play the Oppression Olympics) and it’s rather concerning to see supposed progressives espousing it all over the place.
