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.

Expand on that. Spell it out.

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,...

So STILL no evidence. SOMETHING you read, watched or heard contributed to your opinion. Ageist propaganda you saw in Ukraine war footage? Russian bots used ageist terms to influence an election? Putin wearing an "old codgers suck" shirt? Claims need evidence. Specific, falsifiable. Give me some.

And asking for evidence isn't a propaganda tactic. I literally want to hear you out, but "Trust me bro" ain't gonna cut it. WHY DO YOU THINK THE WAY YOU DO MIGHT TELL ME WHY I SHOULD TOO. SO TELL ME.
