remember, up the stream not across the river
It sounds like you just don't like that your parents dont value the same stuff you do
or give a shit about it
well yeah?
its a position of relative convenience
the conversation was about explaining culture war problems to boomers to get their political support
im aware of what it was
i'm trying to take the position that it's really hard.
Yeah parents are people too
And they're vulnerable to "Got mine fuck you"
Like social security for example.
explaining culture war problems to MOST people is nearly impossible
because they generally don't have the same experience and there's no common basis upon which to explain the problem.
because why should they give a fuck
Parents know that you won't be getting social security.
they should give a fuck because we're about to abandon innocent until proven guilt in a court of law
But they see this lack of freakout and go "Well. It'll probably work itself out"
But they haven't worked out how.
current parent's, myself included, know WERE not getting social security
No one has.
What the hell do we actually do when people can't retire anymore?
?
what?
is that serious?
Social security seemed like a curse more than a boon to me, for the most part
I wasn't reading your fucking messages just because you cut into the middle of my sentences.
Stop assuming I'm replying to you.
im not assuming you are faggot
I can see the purpose
And there are cases where it's absolutely necessary
im asking you a question
learn what that looks like
But it seems to inspire laziness
And give people a reason to not get employed
Social security becomes necessary when jobs don't pay enough to put savings away.
Welfare is cannibalism.
Because just dissolving social security seems to be out of the question.
Would jobs pay that bad if the social security system was non existent?
Exactly.
