The ugly truth about ageism: it's a prejudice targeting our future selves

Disclaimer: haven't yet read the article.

I'm starting to notice a hell of a lot of ageism between millennials and Boomers. (I'm Gen X, so I'm irrelevant, lol.) I have participated in it myself. But I don't think it's getting us anywhere, culturally.

Generalisations can feel good but ultimately create bigger divides. I think venting is understandable (especially when it's millennials venting about the kind of Boomers who have several properties but call them lazy and entitled, which honestly I don't think is true at all, and millennials have a hell of a deck stacked against them compared to Boomers at the same age.)

The world is fucking ugly as is, and social media is making it easier than ever to cultivate an "us vs them" mentality. I don't think it's helping.

There are good people and shit people in every demographic.
