    Sure. Let’s just pretend video games are free. And so is healthcare. Also, how much health care does he think young people use? This is a stupid argument.

    Music is making younger generations lazy.

    Nono, it’s books.

    Nono, it’s film.

    Nono, it’s TV.

    Nono, it’s music again, but only certain kinds of music like rock and metal.

    Nono, it’s video games.

    Actually I am playing videogames all day at work, thank you. NHS provides free corridors to die in if I need healthcare.

    Where are they getting the money for the games? Those are expensive as shit, I’m still making do with games I bought decades ago because I can’t afford new ones.

    How are they eating? Food is fucking expensive, are they getting free food as well?

    How are they paying rent? Have to have a roof over your head and electricity in your walls to play video games all day.

    This mother fucker thinks all guys are like his son, lazy mother fuckers mooching off their parents. What a dumb, ignorant moron.

      I think he might be speaking about 16 year old boys. He seems mad that they’re children instead of working father’s.

    It must be really nice to live in a world where your own idiotic opinions don’t lead to any meaningful consequences for yourself.

    Putting aside the, “Everyone but an idiot knows the poor must be kept poor, or they will never be productive” logic, it’s also just dumb as shit to claim that “able-bodied young men” are going to be super motivated to get off the couch for the sake of health insurance - not even real healthcare, we’re talking about paying hundreds of dollars a month so that if you get sick you can “only” be saddled with a very high deductible.

    I fucking hate these people’s guts. Something something Luigi’s Mansion.

    What free healthcare? And even if they have that, that doesn’t pay for food, shelter, etc…

    “We need people to have the threat of death to work” isn’t the offer you think it is you fuck.

    I dunno. I’d be a lot more apt to go seek a job if the market for my desired career and skills wasn’t currently being recklessly trashed. No point in taking a job offer knowing I’ll be the new guy and the first to get let go when the inevitable cuts come due to government cutbacks, tariff damage, and a recession leading to more reductions. It’s way easier to stay home and let the government, who carelessly took away my job, pay for me to play video games all day.

    Hey look, an “elite” with absolutely no concept of how actual reality works, who’s just trying to stir up a base consisting of people with IQs smaller than their shoe size.

    I promise you, if I could stay home all day and play video games by somehow using free healthcare, I’d be doing it.
