I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

In the day after Brexit, I am reading many comments of young Brits angry because old people 'have stolen their future'
Young people voted massively against Brexit, whereas elderly people supported it.
I wonder if this is not another movement of the system to divide population even more. Modern feminism has already made the gender gap bigger, perhaps they try now to create a hug generational gap?
Young people may have a longer future ahead of them, but older people have lived longer, seen more, and are harder to influence and manipulate.
