#ageism — Public Fediverse posts

@EUCommission Yet, instead of sanctioning Meta, X, etc. for their anti-democratic, predatory algorithms and business practices, you are engaging in age discrimination and victim blaming. Talk to the ones affected by your legislation, instead of pushing it on them without their participation in the process or their consent.

Stop big tech from preying on all of us, instead of blocking children from accessing the services of our modern world

Die Statistik über Unfälle, an denen Fahradfahrer*innen beteiligt sind, wird in den meisten Medien verkürzt dargestellt. Es entsteht der Eindruck, als seien vor allem Ältere zu blöd, ihre Pedelecs zu fahren.

@xgranade The same principles of all the other bad discriminatory 'isms also apply to children. Instead of "too fat", "not pretty enough", and "too emotional" it's "too young", "not experienced enough", and "too impulsive"

Message for ageists and ableists:

If you don't think that there should be UBI, or disability social supports, or good pensions, but you also don't think anyone should hire old and/or disabled people, you are arguing for death for old and/or disabled people.

Take the hood off and just admit it.
You want old and/or disabled people to be killed. Quit hiding it with normalizing words.

Matt Canavan is 45 and looks like this (below), but you prefer to show a cartoon of a pensioner because it suits your ageism narrative. Because, as we all know, old people aren't capable of being aware of environmental concerns or of being nature lovers.

Record-smashing powerlifter, 68, says she lives for the 'clang' of the weights

On Thursday morning, 68-year-old Mava Brydges put the weight of a household refrigerator onto her back, lowered herself toward the floor and then stood up again.

Her 132.5-kilogram squat at the Canadian Powerlifting National Championships in St. John's, N.L., was five kilograms shy of the national record for her age and weight class, which she set herself in 2022.

In the next few hours, she set two new records, finishing the morning by hoisting a 140-kilogram barbell off the ground as a crowd of gobsmacked fans cheered and shouted her name.

"This is my sport that I love," Brydges said minutes after her final lift, her eyes filling with tears. "It's an amazing feeling to be able to do what I do at this age."

Reminder: Ageism is still discrimination. You can disagree with a generation’s politics or tech habits without demeaning their humanity. Let’s keep the discourse focused on ideas and avoid discrimination in all forms.

Having different levels of #privacy for different #age groups is #ageism

Implementing #ageverification on top of it ( which mean making everything less private for everyone ) is insane levels of ageism.

Stopping porn isn't worth it.

How does everyone feel about "Total Liberation" when you hear it is there any liberation struggle that you feel is being excluded?

The main reason I don't use it is because I think it contributes to minimizing individual struggles that are already pretty overlooked like antispecieisism antiableism antisanism antiageism etc so I usually prefer to name each struggle individually

In fact I hardly hear anyone identifying with it but I appreciate the no-compromises attitude behind the concept

Folks might think I'm being dramatic with the hashtags, but what she's describing of her mother is due to sexism and the lack of meaty diverse roles for women over 40 in Hollywood is a well known issue.

That middle-aged and older protagonists don't seem to be worth including. I'm hoping to include an older medieval knight in some upcoming flash fiction (hoping to get around to this before too long).

Does #mastodon.social #instance / #server #rules include any specific rule against #ageism or #age #discrimination? I am not finding any. Have I simply overlooked it?

Biden was dismissed as “too old.” Harris was dismissed because she’s a woman. So voters chose a criminal, narcissistic, pedophile rapist instead. The result? A destabilized democracy - and a shaken world. #USPolitics #Democracy #Authoritarianism #Misogyny #Ageism #GlobalStability #Politics

Is the New Yorker Art by Shepard Fairey ageist?

Discuss please.

I think so, because it makes Bernie look 40 years younger whereas in fact Bernoe is one of the people who "wears" his age with the correct "i don't give a fuck" attitude.

@flyhigh

First of all anarchism is an ideology

Communism is a stateless classless moneyless society with the means of production owned by the commons and de-commodification of the necessities

Anarchism is a rejection of authority and the constructed hierarchies that justify it

Communism, in dismantling the state and capitalism dismantles two hierarchies of oppression that anarchists are interested in dismantling, but not all of them, others include Speciesism Colonialism Racism Patriarchy Ableism Sanism Ageism Cisheteronormativity Mononormativity etc, see Total Liberation Anarcha-feminism and Queer Anarchism

@Bumblefish I'm 60 and looking for a PhD. Since I came from a family with no one to pass on the "tricks" of academia, I could still use advice, esp when it comes to different academic systems in different countries.

I think one of the problems about being an older student is that people assume you know things already and you have trouble getting mentoring. #GradSchool #AcademicChatter #Ageism

I want to try this copilot thing in vscode.
But not #vscode. I use #codium instead.

I had it installed, but never got it working and now I try again and it's all borked.

I don't much like the current #AI bubble, but I have to keep up with my industry, especially in my advanced age (48). #ageism

Headline: The Trump Administration Has Made 150 Million American Workers Newly Vulnerable to Workplace Discrimination

Source: Center for American Progress

From the article: "Essentially, all employees and job seekers, a total of approximately 153 million Americans, benefit from the protections the EEOC provides. The Equal Pay Act—a law requiring equal pay for equal work that the EEOC enforces—covers virtually all employers, while other laws enforced by the EEOC apply to all but the smallest employers. Whether they work in the private sector or for the government, practically all employees and those applying for jobs are protected by the EEOC against illegal employer actions" (Annotations removed for clarity)

"… less pro-social in controlled allocation tasks towards young adults relative to other age groups. This preference bias is widespread, similar in size to #discrimination against immigrants, and increases with age
… young adults are perceived as more immoral, less helpful, less responsible, less hard-working, and enjoying easier lives than other age groups."
