The article provides an example of what you're asking for:

> "To be perfectly honest, and this is awful, but to the young, watching as the elderly over and over and over choose their own interests ahead of Climate policy kind of feels like they’re wishing us to a death they won’t have to experience. It’s a sad bit of fair play."

I find the whole generational conflict bewildering. To me, blaming "the elderly" for "the climate crisis" and "saddling us with debt" seems stupid beyond words.

They do tend to vote for tire-burning candidates, on the whole.

I personally feel there's a sort of vicious circle going on between the social isolation of the elderly, the elderly consequently watching too much TV, then (on the whole) developing rather unfortunate political views.
