I am aware that fedi in general has an older user base than other social networks, but I’ve seen a few very upvoted posts recently that seem to blame young people for the current rise of fascism despite older generations still making up the vast majority of conservative and fascist voters in most countries.
Is this just a result of this being a bubble for older lefties not perceiving younger lefties or is there something else going on here?
This. Also older people falling for that kind of stuff was pretty much expected, but that came with the hope that those ideas will soon die out along with them. So fascism finding significant support among younger people (even if it’s not even close to the majority) kind of killed that hope.
