@shevereshtus It's worse now because the 2026 medieval peasant has a 24/7 reinforcement loop. The old peasant just had bits of pub gossip and someone would tell him to shut up.
@forster_gillian@PolitlcsUK And you should learn how the taxes, entitlements and financial systems work in this country and stop voting to steal from young workers while destroying economic growth.
@leinadnretnim@forster_gillian@PolitlcsUK The incentive to buy is that you obtained an appreciating asset that gives you housing security as you build wealth, that you can sell later to live off. Are you fucking dumb?
Why do you think boomers should die in their coffin homes and not have to pay for the retirement?
@forster_gillian@PolitlcsUK People my age won't get a state pension because people your age will destroy the welfare system with your selfishness and stupidity.
@forster_gillian@PolitlcsUK I don't care what you want
Assets are your retirement you dumb bitch, sell it and live off the money. You don't get to cling to accumulated wealth and ask for more taxes on workers to pay for your retirement. HALF of the entire welfare bill is retirement, we can't afford it.
@forster_gillian@PolitlcsUK That's NOT how pensions work. What you contributed over your working life is a fraction of what you're getting out.
It's the current workers (me) being bled dry to pay for the triple lock. Sell your fucking house.
This year alone, more Christians have been killed by Muslims in Nigeria than Gazans in three years of war.
Not a single Muslim or pro-Palestinian activist has protested like they do for Gaza. Weird.
