    This kid is 54 and has been fighting against capitalism and it’s mouthpieces their whole life, coming from several generations doing the same thing.

      I didn’t mean any disrespect. Just trying to provide some context to the “everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian bot” crowd. In my experience most people who subscribe to radical politics are younger, since I’m twice the age as probably half of the people I organize with, but I do have a few comrades and fellow travellers in the 50+ demo. However I usually don’t use the term “kid”, preferring the less dismissive " young person" but I guess old habits die hard. I’ll go back and make an edit
