Children, working-age adults, and elders generally have different but equally important roles. Children are the future. Working-age adults reproduce, start families, and support those families and the wider community. Elders keep and dispense wisdom and help make decisions. To clarify you become a working-age adult once you reach puberty. #ageism #youth #youthlib #youthliberation #communism #socialism #anarchism
Young people are our equals and should be equal and free. Old people matter as people and wisdom keepers and dispensers. The time is now more than ever to abolish ageism. #ageism #youth #youthlib #youthliberation #communism #socialism #anarchism
People of all ages are mentally equal in the sense that we have instincts, drives, etc. that guide our decisions and make us fully capable of making our own decisions. Children and young adults (aka "adolescents") should therefore be free and autonomous. #ageism #youth #youthlib #youthliberation #communism #socialism #anarchism
Age-based social media bans are also about controlling the information young people see. Capitalists know that young people are the future and that they must control what they think. #ageism #youth #youthlib #youthliberation #communism #socialism #anarchism
Age-based social media bans are a part of the oppression of young people. They are age-based discrimination and segregation and should be opposed. #ageism #youth #youthlib #youthliberation
Kayla made a good point about protection versus liberation language. The phrase should be liberate trans kids and young adults (aka "adolescents"). Also liberate kids and young adults in general. #trans #transgender #ageism #youth #youthlib #youthliberation
How do you guys feel about using the term young people? It emphasizes that "youth" are people and matter. #ageism #youth #youthlib #youthliberation
Age verification laws are age-based discrimination and segregation which in turn support age-based hierarchy. It oppresses and harms young people. For the sake of young people we must fight this. #ageverification #ageism #youthlib #youthliberation #communism #socialism #anarchism
We must fight for youth liberation. Recognizing children and young adults as equals, child autonomy, permissive parenting, self-directed education, young adult autonomy, etc. #ageism #youthlib #youthliberation #communism #socialism #anarchism
The way forward is recognizing nonhumans as equals, nonhuman autonomy, recognizing children and young adults as equals, and child and young adult autonomy as well as permissive parenting. #environmentalism #youthlib #youthliberation #communism #socialism #anarchism
