always knew those dastardly elderly were faking age. Don’t get me started on all these workshy “dead” people
Mix that in with radicalization of (ironically) many poor workers to knee jerk question and resent anyone who does become old enough or disabled enough to break through all the means testing and red tape to get benefits and, of course, racism, and it’s a perfect recipe for advocating against their own best interests
once knew a guy who would say “I’ve broken every bone in my body who needs health and safety” he really was a fucking moron
on the general point
I agree about the problem but they might be true believers and just not realise the problem they are creating. It’s entirely possible that they don’t understand that these issues will happen because they don’t actually think about what happens to poor people
Yeah, that’s true. Some people might actually be deluded enough (Peter Thiel fuck his name not googling it types) to believe in some sort of anrchocapitalism hellscape. Into which they’d instantly become enslaved by some massive Bezos Amazon slave factory (chattel slavery instead of the slavery of forced to sell labor for a wage). But I guess good luck explaining that to them… many seem to have the imagination of a 14 year old. They’re definitely not all stupid, just extremely naive and uneducated if they think a world with zero federal government will in any tangible way be better than this one. I know a lot of people want or joke about “going back to monkey” or back to feudalism style arrangements. That’s definitely not their plan though. They want something more like a Mad Max style future but they think they’ll be the robot guy in charge of water (spoiler: they won’t be).

I don’t think this is it again I just don’t think they understand that this will happen
or they like what happens to poor people
