Comments: “We take pensioners’ driving licences away… why not their right to vote?”
Has there ever been a time in western history that the old have been so despised?

I don't think "old" people are despised as much as they are envied by the lower aged imbecile crowd. The less experienced are actually starting to understand that we older ones designed and built all the toys and other things these worthless babies use and love so much.

I direct you to Never Yet Melted/Richard Fernandez's blistering retort:
"Essentially people much older than you gave you what you now take for granted. They won World War 2, fueled the great boom, walked through the valley of the shadow of nuclear death — and had you.
You didn’t make the present, nor as you now complain, are you making the future. No children, no national defense, no love of God or country.
But that’s just it. You’ve brainwashed yourselves into thinking someone else: the old, the older, the government, the dead would always do things for you.
If you learn anything from Brexit, learn that nobody got anywhere expecting someone to do things for him.”
