Ok I can see we won't get OP so I'll go ahead and tackle that one, Timpane -
No: "Ageism" is not on the same level, whatsoever, as racism, sexism, or homophobia. Any basic analysis of our western culture would quickly provide that there is no systemic, engendered prejudice against elderly individuals. In fact, if you were discussing the topic exclusively through the (admittedly anthropocentric) lens of western society then it would rapidly become evident that we have baked certain ideals of wisdom and moral aptitude into our notions of the aged culture. Meanwhile, however, our culture has seen (a) the system subjugation of race to become subservient to another race, (b) serious misallocations of equity given between the male/female gender dichotomy (not to discount individuals who would not identify within that dichotomy, but that leads to (c) the systemic, cultural, and otherwise wholesale bigotry against individuals not within the heterosexual mindset.
So, no, ageism isn't the same and I would argue that anyone who would deign otherwise is either being inept or merely slinging mud and poo in the sandbox along with the other diapered individuals (aged or otherwise?).
I hope this helped Timpane. And good to see you, man.
Well, there's a list of things one shouldn't criticize other folks for - the things they had no part in. Color, language, gender, sexual orientation, place of origin, and, yes, age. Prejudices against any of these characteristics may be more or less common, but they are all equally "bad".
High tech, financial sector, gray collar, blue collar, service industry...many who are over 60 and who have been laid off are fucked. They stand to lose everything that they have worked almost 40 years to achieve, and many do lose it.
Just because the 0.0001% who run everything are old dudes, doesn't mean that all older people have power. You know, when old people have to choose between food and medicine, that's ageism, and it's life and death.
But hey, if it doesn't fit one's narrative, who am I to argue it?
>>Hey OP, someone asked a question of you in your thread here.
Good golly gosh - have some patience,ateix. Today is the day I go out and buy groceries for my in-laws and you'll have to forgive me for being able to be here on your schedule.
Timpane, on the other hand, you have shown some nice patience in awaiting my reply. Good for you. If only everyone could be kind like that.
So - to answer your query - I had a conversation about ageism with a younger friend of mine recently who is a sociology professor at the college my brother is also a professor at. She told me that not only does ageism exist in America - it is getting more and more prevalent in our modern society - and while racism is obviously worse - anyone who would attempt to compare the two is a fool. Why waste the time - as both are bad and should not be tolerated. She also mentioned that the USA has the worst ageism in the world as most other countries respect and value their elder citizens. Apparently Americans think of the elderly as a burden - for the most part anyway. Everyone likes their own parents and grandparents - but fuck everyone else''s grandparents. She told me that while racism is widely acknowledged by most everyone - one of the worst parts of ageism is that many young people dismiss it out of hand as "not a big deal" and that only makes the elder abuse common in modern America worse.
She did tell me that those who practice ageism cannot escape it from happening to them eventually, though - as they will grow old and even younger people will get up in their shit - so there is that silver lining.
>>while racism is obviously worse - anyone who would attempt to compare the two

Some pretty good old-school Zone sarcasm, smarm, resentment, mistrust and Deader-than-thou-ocity going on in this thread. Sixer still mixin' it up after all these year's- borderline heartwarming.
Another interesting thing about this thread - the title states "Why is it that SOME..." - some, not all - yet ...um...some here appear to have shoes that fit based on their response..
Ageism ? That's a new one to me. Is that the name some dipshits decided to attach to the folks who somehow managed to make their way thru both repub and dem administrations, paying off their student loans, going from meager apartment dwellings to homeownership, paying our taxes, then give our kids more opportunities than we had ? What kind of assholes even think such shit ? There's not a proper word for imbacils like that.
< young people can and are also discriminated against
Yeah us, 30 - 40 - 50 years ago when we were young. Yet we somehow learned how to Improvise Adapt and Overcome all the obb stackles. Since when did America raise such a pathetic litter of whiny whelps too weak to do the same ? Their parental influences sucked.
According to the city of Asheville-commissioned Bowen National Research, close to half of the roughly 19,700 renting households in the city are “cost burden households.” This means these households pay more than 30% of their incomes toward housing costs. The report found 25% of Asheville home owners are equally cost burdened.
Mount Mitchell is the highest peak of the Appalachian Mountains and the highest peak in mainland eastern North America. It is located near Burnsville in Yancey County, North Carolina; in the Black Mountain subrange of the Appalachians, about 19 miles (31 km) northeast of Asheville. It is protected by Mount Mitchell State Parkand surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest. Mount Mitchell's elevation is 6,684 feet (2,037 m) above sea level.[1]
>>> Earl, are you the Florida Zoner that I sent two free weekend passes for Hangout Fest to
I am not, ateix, although I did learn a new word 'cuz of you today... anthropocentrism- not gonna' see that one every day, so, thanks for that, although it seems to be synonymous with humanism. Just trynna' keep up with my ism's today.
And an opportunity to bump my buddy Sixer's thread! (we're fellow old-fuck's).
Poor Hillary and honestly poor us. Not one single nefarious thing ever proven, but ended up the most vilified and hated woman in American history. We would have 75% fewer deaths from the pandemic if she was in charge; and I'll take that to the bank.
But I do not think it is a good look in a time of national crisis to act in a strictly partisan way. I don’t like it when Donald Trump does it, and I don’t like it when Nancy Pelosi does it."
< what educational level should be required to qualify for a home?
Are you serious ?? You can't be.
< anyone who is not a dr., lawyer or a ceo should live in a tent city or nebraska
Fucking awful to have a mindset like that. No wonder you seem irritated more often than not. Well yer not alone, despair has set in on a few listers lately. So sad
Ya know Vermont was recently paying folks to move there. Lots of inexpensive properties. A bit chillier than California in winter but you may get the hang of it. And it's fucking beautiful.
hey ras, if i simply wanted a home and a cheap place to live, sure i could do that.
my gig and location are locked in for a few more years. it's ok.
suuuuure, i'd love to own a home but that ship sailed in this area for normal income people somewhere in the early 90's....
if i felt strongly that it was worthwhile to "move further up the ladder" just to own a place here i would. i made peace with that quite sometime ago. people can keep their 1.2 million dollar tear downs.
the mtns are great. love to visit, but i am a beach person.
and speaking of irritated....you are hardly a zen master here bud.
Beach is gonna cost ya no matter where. Can't touch the nice coastal areas out here for anything less than buko bucks. I gave up on that dream, but it's only 45 mins to the ocean where we live. I looked at Cal in the 90's, all I could afford was a condo with neighbors way too close. California or bust, I hear ya, its beautiful, but too expensive to live. That's why I'm out here.
Oh, 6. I like it when you speak deeply from your man-heart-space. Keep going, this is a lot better than the usual follow/troll/edit > lather/rinse/repeat.
But I shared some of my thoughts and opinions with you that day we met - and you then used them against me later on the Zone. That was not nice and I think that was what made me change my opinion about you. Up until then - I used to say nice things about you to all the other naysayers (read older people) here - but when you started with that bullshit , I had enough. Maybe you could stop all your bullshit here too and be real? We have had nice periods between us for a couple days here and there - and then after a day or two without warning you usually call me pathetic, say things like I have not aged well, etc. etc. etc. Can you stop with the personal attacks like that, ateix? Or will we make nice today and then next Monday you will again tell me I'm a pathetic and lame old hot dog...? What will happen next? Tune in tomorrow.
None of that CBGB shit or being a registered Republican or any of whatever you're alluding to there is shit that you mentioned to me when we met, man. Do you actually remember meeting, 6? lol I spent half the day near unconscious from being hungover and some sunstroke that I was passed out on Joe's Field almost all afternoon...
Just chill man. Let there be truce. I don't think you're a hot dog, I just really want to make one of those hot dogs with the brioche and shit that Noodler posted! It's not all about you!

The answer from "some people" is that ageism isn't as bad as the other "ism's," so it's okay.
Tell that to the person who has lost everything because they can't get a job due to ageism, or the person choosing between food and medicine.
But again, if it doesn't fit their narratives, they ignore. Interesting, coming from "progressives."

According to the city of Asheville-commissioned Bowen National Research, close to half of the roughly 19,700 renting households in the city are “cost burden households.” This means these households pay more than 30% of their incomes toward housing costs. The report found 25% of Asheville home owners are equally cost burdened.

That was not nice and I think that was what made me change my opinion about you. Up until then - I used to say nice things about you to all the other naysayers (read older people) here - but when you started with that bullshit , I had enough. Maybe you could stop all your bullshit here too and be real?
