All those years before 1969, there was no ageism, then suddenly there is ageism. It makes you wonder if the same is true about sexism or racism, and how much you hear about any of it is actually true.
Ageism seems like one of those things somebody came up with that a bunch of other people joined in and said ageism, oh yeah, I know what this guy is talking about, I've experienced that too.

A type of discrimination that isn't real but kids like to believe it is because they want to be oppressed so bad and they're just upset that they're minors.
adult: "You need to be 21 to order an alcoholic drink here."
minor: "You know that's ageism, right?"
minor: "You know that's ageism, right?"

40 Year Old Person: "I saw on Good Morning America that all teenagers are doing are vaping, Im calling the cops"
Teenager: "That is ageism sir."
Boss: "Bernie, You are fired"
Bernie: "Why? I am the best and most efficient employee here!"
