The Demonisation of the Elderly (and the exaltation of the young)

   

On The Offensive

 

Published on Nov 1, 2017

The over 65s are still copping a lot of flak for voting Leave at the Brexit referendum - apparently they're all racist, selfish arseholes! So here's a video in their defence, explaining why they are actually our best voters!

Topics covered:
- The life experience of our elders.
- Are they really selfish?
- Time preference: Longsightedness Vs Shortsightedness.

The part on time preference is adapted from Hans Hermann Hoppe's "Democracy: The God That Failed."
