How come the majority of the leftists that I have met online are younger than 25? Why are there no more older leftists on the internet? (lemmygrad.ml)

The older you get, the more responsibility that you have (family, chores, etc) and also you get tired and go to bed way earlier. We suck.

Define "online"? Us old bastards don't tend to hang out in places full of teenagers. Different social media platforms tend to be pretty age segregated, and the older people are, the less likely they are to have grown up terminally online and in the sort of places where most of the online left congregate, like Discord.

Young people are just more terminally online
