anubis2814Can we at least learn from this and the fall of the <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=sovietunion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sovietunion</span></a> that a <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=gerontocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gerontocracy</span></a> that doesn't represent its people or stay up on new tech will always fall? We need the same percentage of <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=elderly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elderly</span></a> people as make up the population. When that gets lopsided the nation is caught with its pant down easily.
🔏 Matthias Wiesmann<p>Interesting analysis of the age difference between the leaders and the population… <br>Again, the USA is the outlier with very old politicians, which is not that surprising when you realise that dictators tend to be old. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>usa</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gerontokratie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gerontokratie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gerontocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gerontocracy</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/eRNxsTkIy_w?si=F4QMsKljAojgfkQL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/eRNxsTkIy_w?si=F4QMsK</span><span class="invisible">ljAojgfkQL</span></a></p>

That's not why the olds are barring them. They hate Progressives, not youth.</p><p>2: Age shouldn't be a factor for anything</p>
