MODERATORS
Let me guess, some Indian boomer? They come up with the wildest shit.
Sounds like some ~~bullshit artist~~ motivational speaker
Probably an AI expert too
And a Bitcoin Scholar
Bitcoiners are old-school, serious people. They highly dislike such bullshit as they have seen the entire "crypto" shitshow, and the AI bullshit is similar in many ways
WTF does Indian have to do with anything?
I am Indian myself, so I have a better understanding about the internet sub-culture intrinsic to my country. This is a neutral stereotype about 'WhatsApp Unkils'. It is a counter-reaction to ageism towards younger people, whose intelligence is mocked, simply because they're younger - the Asian culture of "elders are always right" snubs Gen-Y, Z and younger folks. Now that internet has blown up in India, old people who are literate and take pride in this sort of elitism are embarrassing themselves with their "confidently incorrect" takes on the internet.
Basically the same is happening to boomers, e. g. in Europe, too. Also ageism is happening here too. I don't know, how much worse it is over on your part of the planet, but here you're also not taken seriously when you're young
Nothing. There is a lot of anti-asian racism going on here on Lemmy.
So you feel this is perhaps racist but no concern for it also being perhaps ageist?
Ok sure. I'll endeavor to be more perfectly critical of people if that pleases you.
