Today I was helping out at a meeting for some library project. The attendees were exclusively old women. After the meeting one of them comes up to me and starts "attacking" me and my generation. I hadn't spoken to her before, I did nothing against her, so this was just a rant she felt she needed to say to me. She said that my generation should start caring more about old people, that we care all about empathy and immigrants, but not about old people. She called this behavior "menschenverachtend" (inhuman). She was really hateful, saying things like, rather sooner than later we would get old as well and then we'll see how it is. All in all she was generalizing the whole time and letting off steam. I wonder why people are like that and why she felt the need to tell me such insulting things.

You have to understand that it's indeed old and lonely people who attend such library meetings, you did a kind and good thing if you didn't "fight back" and just listened to her. And indeed, the world has turned to shit compared to the times of her generation, no matter where you come from.
Anyway, it's interesting that babushka meetings are held in the same locations in other places on Earth.

no he did not. He should have insulted this old hag and show her that she can't just behave as she pleases.
Most old people are annoying low IQs. A burden to society. No need to make them feel better than they really are.

It's a pretty noble project actually. Those old women regularly deliver books to even older people who can't go outside anymore. They also read to them in some instances. But while the meeting was going, I already noticed the racist undertones of some of them. They were upset about Turkish books in public libraries or something.

Yeah the world really went to shit though compared to when she was young.
Right now I am stuck in a broken train and idk how I will get home today. The generations after the war lived the best life possible and oir generation has reached the top. It won't get better, only worse.
Who is to blame?

I don't get discriminated at all. Everyone here is very nice to me. Well, except the lady I was referring to, maybe, but even she seemed to be nice to me personally, just not to my generation.

Insulting old people is taking advantage of someone who is much more vulnerable and undefended than you are. Bad moves.

You's a Turk? Interdastingly enought, in Russia babushkas have already learned to stand next to Muslims in public transportation, as they know that the Muslim will inevitable offer her to sit down unlike another Russian.

Not at all. When some old hag starts being rude to you there is no reason at all to give any ground to her. Being weak and stupid is no excuse for being rude.

Other words I've never heard before:
auffi = up/upwards/onto
aussi = out
These two words sound especially weird to me as someone who only is accustomed to Standard German. They sound like something a child would say.

Transport of books between libraries, event planning and preparation, advising and helping users, sorting books, searching books and prepare them for postal delivery, bookbinding, attend events. That's some of the things I do, of course I don't do everything everyday.

One day I was in a bus in... 2018 or something, during the elections, I was going to university and the bus was crowded as shit, and I was carrying a huge briefcase with drawings and prints. An old man "blocked" my way inside the bus, I didn't understand at first so I forced my way, then he allowed me to go through, I turned and he slapped my face, he said that the country was shit because of leftists like me. I said to him that he is a coward and didn't know who I voted for. It was so bizarre. Then when leaving the bus he said sorry to me.

Why did you feel the need to do an internship for these tasks? I would assume that this only makes sense for more complex jobs.
