Among all the lists that are compiled once a year to become a other are such of the most common words and expressions, and bubblarna. As is known, it is not always pleasant when a inside crack on the surface, and underneath will age and, because there is no moderation on the Swedish adversary, åldersfascism.
It is not uncommon that people especially active in the media rages over that they ”kicked out” from the tv and tidningskolumner ”because of my age”, which they are quite right, because the employer has asked them to comply with the relevant pension regulations. It has, paradoxically, made special shows about this. And articles are written by aggrieved people on the other side of middle age who was not summoned to the interview of a company where you wear the hat, despite the fact that these would technically possess the necessary expertise.
last year, actually a record in the number of complaints of age discrimination to the equality Ombudsman, so perhaps there is something in the ”grey gold” wrath of god, to a ungdomskult rules.
What a skewed perception of reality you can squish in my life. I had been able to swear that the reverse prevailed, that ”jätteproppen Orvar” – which soon may be counted also include the us sextiotalister – blocks each life area for the millennials, those born between the late eighties and early nollnolltal. That, in plain English, Sweden rather suffer from gubbsjuka. We hang with, as Ian Wachtmeister used to say.
It was perhaps just an optical illusion that seems to be the trend, but in the media and culture seems in any case not high age have been damaging to the chances to the raised position and bemärkthet. On the contrary, we are pretty much obsessed with ageing in both beauty and difficulty, or to just take for granted that many of the public informal powers of good and the well has reached middle age.
Niklas Wahllöf: The harsh punishment hardly young people to be better people
to just a list, and see that the Swedish Academy is high, very high, among the public the number of network searches during the year, and say what you want but not the young people who, like deer in the headlights scared have stapplat out of the old stock exchange building to the cameras smatter. Please, can someone lead the man off the track? And the, and the.
And the thought that an uncontrollable lust is inherent in the past heard the youth to note that the state actually got a sjuttiotvåårigt face during the year.
Or you can turn on tv and see storsatsningen Nobelgalan and the parade of old bumps in the tails with younger stjärnögda worshipers. Take it easy now, nothing is wrong, wisdom is rarely young.
you go to any gala with Sweden’s artistelit, of träsmak suddenly awake in the seat and notice that this course consists of forty – and femtiotalister. You can go home and turn on the tv again and see that the people well over seventy, holds court at the castle and manors and in the probation service-tv studios.
Speaking of tv and old, so a new program in the SVT soon where artists will interpret the old poems (cosy, in the SVT is the world of pop music, a scented candle) and this is where the multiple births during the war, thus the second world war.
It was also fun to see the attention of the only artist in over a decade as a result of violence and vanartighet was thrown out of his own gig, at Nalen in the last week: sixty-one he was.
Maybe it is in fact the case that it is the elderly who have stolen the future from the children. And gripes about it.
