I think that my advice to anyone would be talk to lawyers before talking to the FBI, and in the name of sanity, never talk to law enforcement about anything, especially if you know you didn't do anything wrong, without your lawyer present and, for heaven's sake, listen to what they tell you and if they tell you to STFU, then do what they say.
Yeah. I know of one of those cases and the govt person above them said they were innocent. Which is not something he should have done, he should have stayed out of it.

I think the moth bothersome thing I see is, after being told that young people are less conservative, and once the old guard dies off, things will be better, that its young people who are doing this crap.

I really think we need to get away from this lie that old people are bad and young people are good, because that's patently not the case.

Elon Musk is about my age and is statistically murdering and injuring his factory workers. Also see: Ted Cruz.

Charlie Kirk (🤮) is kind of proof of that.

It's not a question of what young people vs old people think. It's a question of what the people are like who are in power.

And it should not be forgotten that fascism is a young man's game (woman's too). The fascists of the 1920s and 30s started as disaffected young men, demobilised after WW1, gave up on the existing parties and joined the Blackshirts and Nazis.

Hitler was 43 when he became Chancellor of Germany. Mussolini was about the same age when he became Prime Minister of Italy.

But, it is at least in the US, a 'truism' that young people are wonderful, progressive, humanitarians, and old people are evil conservative jerks.

Or, in reverse if the person asked is a republican.

In other words, the US is ageist as fuck.
