Hey this is the 81 yr old man thread.

I'm sure there's no significant reason they're doing that with the flags in relation to the 81 year old man .

Great, sounds like we agree on it.

I honestly can't get a read on the younger voters. Gen Z tends to be pretty progressive and overall would seem more left leaning.... with that said, I also feel like I see a ton of younger, mostly males, with no real life experience, who idolize trump like he's some god. Just like how the much older voters do.

This is my concern as well. A lot of the drive to the right up here in Canada is being driven by young men. Heck, about a year back I was watching the news about a drag storytime event that the community overwhelmingly supported, but the small number of protestors appeared to be very aggressive young men, all dressed in button-up brown shirts.

Like, do they read history? Do they know? Mind you, I don't blame the youth for feeling cheated; we've allowed the slow creep of wealth inequality, climate change, endless austerity and corporate concentration to come to a head, and they'll be paying for much of that for the rest of their lives. Add the lethal gun issue in the States, and the kids should be angry. But the angry incel crowd isn't something I would have predicted 20 years ago.

Yea this is very true! I guess my hope is mostly in the young ladies who are going to vote in this election. Man I just wish the female escort websites would hook up with the incel websites and crowd. I personally believe that alone would sadly save allot of lives. I have noticed that both young males and females are really lacking in real word communication due to the digital social media addictions among other things. I feel that allot of the young men have more trouble than ever with talking to the other sex which leads to negative feelings, self doubt, and the incel life. From my experience the young females tend to work on themselves and the young men are more likely to turn to hate before self improvement. It's kinda sad man.

I wanna make it clear that it isn't just about sex and not everyone who can't talk to women end up going down this path, but from my experience this is a big contributing factor to the modern hateful young and older male.

In the United States that's interpreted as "freedom of speech". It's in the first amendment to the constitution. You may not like said speech, but it's American as fuck.

Burning the American flag is one of the most American things you can do. If you don't like that then you're actually unamerican and hate freedom and don't understand what cognitive dissonance is

 

[narad]

American or unamerican as fuck, associating your movement with burning American flags is one of the worst things you can do to create the kind of change you want (in America).

By all indications, this appears to be nakedly anarchist.

That's an entirely different question / issue from whether it is "American" and, further, whether it is a part of reasonable discourse to impugn political actions by suggesting they are not American.

So this must be freedom of speech too huh?
