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)

Not being able to own a home has been a very acute and visible example of capitalist decay for some time now… and this is a phenomenon which overwhelmingly effects young adults.

Older adults were able to buy their home for much cheaper back in the 90’s or 00’s. That is to say, older adults arn’t as financially desperate in relation to the youth. This influences the politics of individuals.
