        Nah they’re really not. I don’t give a single shit about someone’s age insofar as determining whether or not they’re a comrade. There are awesome people and monsters and all in between of all ages. In particular, my age group (Zillenials) is full of fucking monsters who refused to learn the lessons of previous generations of anti-capitalists and anti-imperialists, and like previous generations, the good people are more likely to be destroyed by the system. I guarantee you, when my generation gets old, when your generation gets old regardless of your age now, a lot of them are gonna be reactionary shitwads because that is whom our systems are designed to reward and the ideologies and bigotries they are designed to impose upon the world. And we need to be understanding of the reasonable frustration of young people, but make sure that they redirect that frustration to the people who are actually doing the violence and the systems they control.
