Lmao yes, arbitrary generational divides are exactly the same as political divides over who should be allowed to live and thrive in a society. It's easy to say "let's all chill and live as a community" if you’re not among the people that the right wants to remove from existence. And even if you’re not, how could you bring yourself to hang out with hateful fucks who would put you on a kill list without a second thought if you were a little darker or a little more neurodivergent?
Trust, nobody wants to just chill and live as a community more than leftists. That's our whole deal. But as long as capitalism and it's immune response called fascism exist, everyone outside it (and those of us inside it too) must fight for their survival or be subsumed.
What you're talking about are extremists. Nobody in their right mind would live in a community with them. What I was trying to say is, that labeling people "leftist", "right-wing" and any of the other names does more harm than good.
