How long ago were you first legally allowed to purchase alcohol?
And it was mostly Facebook ads. Really misunderstanding what the dangerous part of the Internet is. Not the discussion space.
We are all already polarized and in our lanes here. And stop being age-ist. We are all in this together.
I didn’t mean it to be ageist, it’s just contextual. In the same way that I cannot see an American younger than gen y understanding what the world was like pre-9/11 past an academic level, I can’t see someone younger than 15 in 2016 truly understanding the spontaneous change in the internet in the year preceding the election. It was so tumultuous that, and this is was remarkable to watch in real-time, conspiracy theorists completely flipped across party lines. It literally flipped the crazy script. I admit that I should have phrased it differently, though, and I apologize for that.
