In many ways I'm sure.
But staying on topic, this mindset the post war generation developed, that tax payer funded guaranteed income for all was a right, without investing the taxed income to cover it is a nonsense.
They promised themselves money that their children would have to provide.
Saying that everyone should receive a fixed amount of money from the taxpayer in retirement , regardless of income, regardless of need is fundamentally ridiculous.
Why don't we provide housing benefit for all, regardless of need?
Everyone needs a house in the same way everyone requires retirement income.
What's the difference?
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; Nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
