My gut reaction to this article was probably the same as a lot of people here “this is just baby boomers complaining about younger people again” and it kinda is, but it’s mostly a targeted parliamentary review into the effects of ageism on the older generation, and I would expect the government to do a similar review on the younger generation, if they haven’t already.

I do believe that pinning negative stereotypes on whole generations is wrong. It was wrong when the boomers did it to the millenials, it is wrong when millenials do it to gen z, and it’s wrong to go the other way.

Where does all the power and wealth concentrate? Amongst the boomers and older Gen x. Are they all wealthy and powerful? Fuck no! We’re all being exploited by the top 0.1% of the population, let’s not forget that.

If you’re willing to take the plunge and spend more time in the terminal you could give neovim a try.

To turn it into an IDE contender you can use LazyVim to automatically setup a bunch of quality of life improvements.

It’s a bit of a commitment to learn but it is super rewarding when you get it.

The report this article is based on is actually called “On Thin Ice: Disproportionate Responses to Climate Change Protesters in Democratic Countries”

The title of the article is a bit misleading including the term “rich countries”, especially as that term is not used once in the article.

In my mind measuring the level of democracy is harder than the wealth of a nation.

I’m proud of Southampton! Only 10 shitheads, and hundreds of anti-racists. Good showing everyone
