RE: https://mastodon.energy/@Sustainable2050/116902204170516740 This kind of ageism is encouraged by capitalism because it views humans as having worth only insofar as they're either very wealthy or being abled & youthful enough to "be good workers". Especially in countries where pensions are slim or non-existent, the years one is allowed to just exist as a person without doing a fucking job that isn't your passion are few. And younger people are conditioned to view those as something older people are not entitled to finally enjoy. "It's no loss, they had so little life in front of them". #Ableism #Ageism #Capitalism
