    If we’re gonna gatekeep the rationale of feeling conflicted over a young person’s death because they’ve crossed a benchmark where they’re supposed to be aware that the environment they’re a product of is exploitative and reject that, I think that benchmark should be older than 19. When I was 19 I was a fucking idiot

      Once you are 18, you are expected to be able to take care of yourself to some degree and think for yourself. And as he comes from a very rich family, I find it hard to believe that he isn’t educated in a good school (non secondary). Should we also raise the voting age everywhere as well if all 19 year old are fucking idiots?

        No, they should totally be allowed to vote, because they are represented by government. But it should be expected that their vote is to some degree shaped by the inherent perspective of a developing brain, which is fine.

          No point in having this discussion with someone who’s already blinded by hate, just because a kid was lucky enough to be born in a better family than him

            Sure, I don’t want to go too off-topic, but as an ‘eat the rich’ kinda guy myself, I wanna challenge my own opinions to be logically consistent.

              You’re a very reasonable person with a seemingly good degree of introspection, please don’t stop. We need more people like you.
