maintaining the sycophants with their supplication to the State

I'm all for getting rid of pensions across the board.

It's a tool used against useful short-sighted idiots who require immediate gratification and the illusion of security they can bring, in light of selling their souls/actual security/identity just to take a seat at the tables Jesus sent us to flip (which ironically, causes their existential insecurity with themselves).

It's all quite comical.

If people actually had to be responsible for themselves, we wouldn't ve in the mess we are today.

The welfare state is a brutal hex on humanity
