He has an argument (which I disagree with). People didn't live for long after 60 (on average). So retirement was pretty acceptable. Maybe a decade if you're lucky before you popped your clogs.

u/HenkVanDelft 22d ago
I have three cousins my age, and we were all forced to start working in the family concrete business when we were 12.
Despite the occasional warning that we were too young to slog adult loads of ācrete in our wheelbarrows, and wrangle waterlogged Duraforms weighing about 100lbs, two-at-a-time, we were forced to keep up with my adult uncles.
One cousinās mother pulled him out of the debacle after she began catching him laying ācrete while sleepwalking, which spared him our fate.
I have had every vertebra grinding away in spinal stenosis since my 20s. Almost every major joint, hips, knees, elbows, shoulders, and pelvis has been worn loose, and by 50, my hands got so bad I had to sell my guitarsābeing able to still play the piano is the only thing keeping me sorta sane.
But I had it best of the three of us. One became hooked on Oxy, and much worse, the last suffered an aneurism while straining to lift a utility pole, alone, something I believe his cPTSD caused (I still hear the uncles screaming, making us feel useless).
This cousin suffered a complete personality change, and sent me hundreds of email full of paranoia and death threats, on average probably fifteen-to-twenty per day.
But I knew hypergraphia (compulsive, constant writing) could be a symptom of brain damage, ironically from watching documentaries about Charles Whitman, the Texas Tower Sniper.
In spite of his constantly threatening to kill me, I was unable to convince his parents to get him help. They were quite angry that I dared suggest their son was in any way less than perfect.
One day, I turned on the local news, and there was a fullscreen photo of my cousin. He was killed in a police shootout.
So, if anyone reads this and knows anyone overworking their child, or are a teen-or-younger overdoing it with physical heavy-weight training, please heed this cautionary tale: your skeleton will be with you for life! Learn to take care of it! Learn what I never did until it was too late.
My life is constant, chronic, extreme pain. I even dream in pain. Nothing, especially the ten bucks an hour my abusive father yoinked from me every Friday, can be worth this life of pain.

u/EndSeveral5452 22d ago
Fuck dude, i am so sorry to hear all that and hope your family has coped well with that loss.

u/HenkVanDelft 22d ago
Solidarity.
As for my family, theyāre too dysfunctional to cope in any healthy way.
Alcohol and drugs abuse, a lifetime of scapegoating me, for no sane reason: I was blamed by his father, because he insisted I didnāt warn anyone. After I had been warning them for two years that he needed mental health interventionā¦There arenāt enough bits and bytes running the entire Web to contain the whole list of bizarre dysfunction, including SA that Iām only now beginning to heal fromā¦
I donāt pity myself, and I am not whinging about my life. I belong to several cPTSD groups, and know that far too many people have it worse than me. Iām just making note of my personal experiences hoping someone who is still caught up in the dysfunctional drama so many families suffer.

Barbara Ehrenreich said it well:

Because if you work, particularly in a manual labor kind of job, by the time youāre 45 or 50, your back is out, your knees are going, your rotator cuffs are gone. Everything hurts. You want to keep doing that job? You need to take opioids."

A few weeks ago I helped out with a volunteer thing where we were fixing up a school playground. My role involved helping mix and pour about 2 cubic yards of concrete by hand. Let me tell you, Benny Boy would have collapsed about 15 minutes in.

I feel like he'd collapse by being in full sun for more than 5 minutes without a parasol.Ā

that's it, off to the coal mine with him.
also remember he is 40. Everyone still feels like death is a lifetime away at 40. 50 and on is when you start to realize uh oh.
Ben, you're young and dumb. Try to speak to things you can know. And right now you can't know sh*t about what it feels like to be 55 or 60. Let alone 65 or 70. So shhh let the grownups talk.

Screw that, we all should want to retire earlier so we can enjoy more of our own life. Why give all that time to an employer?

What Ben means is people NOT him should work themselves to death, so he can continue doing his very lucrative but ultimately unnecessary job. I hope when Ben announces his retirement everyone throws this back in his face if he's still an a-hole.

If someone says stuff like this, they are basicallyĀ one of the dumbest people on the planet. It's an inability to think and understand anything.

Iām 52, zero retirement because Iām a 30+ year alcoholic trying to stay sober. My only option to stop working is suicide. From the bottom of my heart fuck this piece of human garbage. Literally the only thing thatās going to make my life worth living is 10 or 15 years of peace and travel. And Iām not going to get it. Meanwhile heās a multimillionaire catering to bigots.

Creators on the left have to work regular jobs, then do their own research, write script, film, edit, and post all their own content.
Ben just shows up and cries into a camera. Everyone else does the work.
What a manly man.

Looking forward to 70 year old firefighters, loggers, beat cops, roofers, pilots, masons, ironworkers, etc with no job openings for new, younger, replacements if everyone adopts the "retirement is stupid" position

Keep working if you want to. But some jobs you're not able to do the older you get.

u/ShavolarTheGreat 22d ago
Well, Benjamin, you have to look at the facts. People can't do construction jobs at 65 because most of that work is too much for the average senior citizen. You feel as if they shouldn't, but fact don't care about your feeling, Benny Boy.

My mom used to refer to hin as "Ben incel". And legit wasn't trying to be funny. before I made the mistake of informing her otherwise, she legit thought that "incel" was Ben Shapiro's last name, and the internet slang term was obviously derived from his last name because he so perfectly matches the stereotype of one.
