    Reported by OP. Reason: Ageist. Being a teenager does not mean you lack leadership abilities.

    A lack of experience is different than a lack of ability. And you can’t find out the leadership abilities of a person without getting experience. Even working at a McDonald’s for a summer job and trying to talk about workers rights with their coworkers is valuable experience.

    Starting shitfits on wikipages most certainly isn’t experience.

      Perhaps I should have phrased it differently, to be fair, but I did also bring up Hampton, who was just a few years older, as an example of how someone can be a worthy leader at a very young age, but Hampton is also an anomaly among leaders and a standard that it looks like Paul K cannot aspire to meet even if he lives to be 100.

      In any case, I appreciate you letting me know what his response was. As before, he just picks out one thing to harp on and it’s not the most substantial part.

      Edit: Are these people just pink Zizians?

        Never heard of that bunch before, what a fun little rabbit hole to delve into! Also answering with a “maybe but any possible crime that would be done by the prescribed pink zizians would be that of internet forum code of conduct violations. A most serious crime!”

        And to the previous paragraph I very much agree. I feel like I could lecture more about being conscious of how ageism is a two way street and how a unified chain of legacy of old comrades, middle-aged comrades, and young comrades truly helps makes a party blossom, but I gotta knock off going on pontificating rants or else I might end up converting to Multi-Level-Marketing and make a new account to tell everyone I’m the one true communist and they should follow me.
