I am so happy to find people like you here in fediverse. (I'm viewing this from kbin; not sure where you are; doesn't matter! Here we are. It's great.) I've been absolutely crucified on Reddit for posting pro-youth sentiments. It feels like most of society treats young people like dangerous aliens or something. So to find a friendly voice so quickly is really uplifting.
Some of it is distrust of young people. Some of it is a slavish devotion to “the rules” or “the way ~~it’s always been~~ I’ve always known it to be”.
I don’t get the former, and I’m doing my best to never settle for “the rules” as an answer without those rules being grounded and justifiable.
