Only moments before the world ends will mankind look back and realize that "won't someone think of the children" was the thing that did us in.
Like all the previous fascist waves, they all centre around discrimination. It is about taking advantage of the societies inherent discriminatory behavior, in the past this was mainly racism - in this case however, its ageism.
It is the fact that anyone young is treated as a subclass citizen or in fact not even a person. ID laws are examples of fascist unjust laws which consequently invalidate the freedom and speech of young people. Our society rewards infantilization of others, and it shows how truly ignorant and adulcentrist we all are.
Finally, I don't believe all of mankind will look back, as all the cases with fascism is "ignorance is strength", so tracing the problem back to our societal ageism and discrimination will only be done by a select bunch.
