follow along...I didn't say that ageism was Putin's doing that being said, this intergenerational hostility, like every apparent division in American society, is cultivated, magnified, and picked at by the Kremlin

Right. So we've defined your position. Can you support it?

there you go again humans beings have been wearing with one another for thousands of years, and a favorite tactic of almost everyone is to destabilize neighbors and enemies...you can see this unfold every single day on the idiot box

Can you be more specific? In what way has Putin invoked ageism to destabilise America?

ageism is just one manifestation of intergenerational conflict...so is "old people's music is corny" or "young people's music is just noise"

How has Putin used intergenerational conflict to destabilize the US? Give me an example.

How has Putin been propagating this message? What suggests to you that I've been influenced by Putin? Is it possible that I could come to these conclusions independently? How would we test that, logically?

Ok. So no examples, then. You've now broadened your position.

Why don't you go first? You haven't provided one. You've said it's all over the news. So why can't you give me an example? My working definition of an example is "A specific case with which to identify a broader rule or pattern".

read your own posts...you are the always online version of the outer edges of a Russian Op...you are completely unaware of this because you refuse to believe that such a clever example of humanity as yourself could be so easily manipulated, and not so important as needing you, specifically,...
