Yeah, but there’s a stereotype that conservatism is only a boomer thing, so OP providing an example of a millennial also having a shitty view actually helps.

The year you were born does not define your views. I detest these arbitrary year-based labels.

Screw it! We need to go younger. That’s right, it’s Logan’s Run time! Everyone over 30 gets euthanized. And I say this as someone over 30 myself.

The year you were born does not define your views.
But it can serve to predict it.
Whilst any individual within an arbitrary age bracket can be anything, trends and statistics for those age brackets can be measured and proven.
This is true for age with a much stronger effect than hair colour, because of the material impact it has on the cultural, economic and environmental factors which inform a person’s assumptions, experience and perception of norms.

this is the same logic used to justify racism fwiw
essell@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
No, it isn’t.
Statistics are not value judgements.
They’re often used to justify racism but they’re still innocent.

But by including that you imply that there is a causality relationship. You didn’t share his hair color even if that would also be more descriptive.

But people often see this type of viewpoint and assume it’s a boomer or something. I think it’s important to show that these gross views span multiple age demographics.

I think they included it to say that their person espousing this view isn’t older, like a boomer of gen-x-er.
