It wouldn't, but if the current system doesn't provide access to housing, decent employment opportunities, and would mean that you'll have to work until you're 70+, can you blame people for being attracted by populist rhetoric?

Many are too dumb to understand the world is a far different place now, with a higher population and people living way longer, with a far higher ageing population
They want everything now, and don’t realise how good we’ve actually got it in comparison to before, and to other poorer nations
Yes, people have agency over their own beliefs. If you look at Weimar Germany, which had problems far worse than now, lots of people didn't fall for the Nazis. Others did, because they chose to.
I can. Maybe you can't. It's not MY fault all your kids are fucking dumb. But I have no problem yelling at morons and their social-media addled children who flock to authoritarians.
Thank you. Millennials got screwed too, and we didn’t turn into little fascists. (Then again, we didn’t have TikTok, and we’re at the age where we were still being taught to evaluate the credibility and biases of sources in school)
It’s such a big problem! Some of the things I have seen people believe just from one TikTok video of some random dude in his mom’s basement have left me speechless.
