Ageism on Lemmy, impossible.

As the other commenter has said, the youngest gen z aren’t children anymore - they’re teens.

“Green coal”

Yeah, the US ain’t evolving - it’s devolving.

And those who are/want to go off grid:

Straight to jail.

Even if op’s case was satirical, it is quite ageist honestly. It is the difference between freedom and submission. Such outdated statements about increasing the common age is just a fascist disguise - minors which includes teens have less and less rights just because the belief that children shall be protected by bans is acceptable.

If people cared about “the children” they wouldn’t let them on the Internet until they were 21.

Yeah, that’s only for the people that think they care, but are actually ageist and discriminate.

Protecting children comes in hand with protecting humanity. The sole existence of predatory algorithms, and other shit makes age meaningless.

This is how political cleansing begins. Once the system is turned on, voting for anything slightly left will cast you as a criminal of the state.

So essentially scalpers.
