Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

I seem to only be able to see the first paragraph without signing in. So perhapsnhe makes this point in the article. But in addition to your point that older people have more to lose (in terms of wealth at least), I'd note older people also have more perspective gained over a longer period of time.
I agree things are gery contentious at the moment. However, there seems to be annassumption by many that the past was much more pacific than it actually was. When you've seen enough "most important election of your lifetime" elections, you begin to suspect there is more stability in the present and less understanding of the past than you had believed when you were younger.

Ultimately of course the old fat guys might win out. Mostly because there are a lot of them and it takes two sides to fight. So their desires become self-fulfilling. It's a rear guard action though. But they might sign out before the red guards come for their estates.
