“There is absolutely nothing surprising about a severely stigmatized group embracing their stigma. Psychologists have long observed that when people feel hopelessly stigmatized, a powerful coping strategy–often the only apparent route to self-esteem–is embracing one's stigmatized identity.

If the same ones that diminishes the old will themselves be older too. If they are lucky enough to reach a certain age and age well.”
