they fucking worked or died, if they were unable to work their family helped them until they were able to work.
NEETs didn't exist back then because parents weren't fucking pussies.

They worked basically all their lives.

This is the reason why birth rates were so much higher back then. People had children so they could take care of their parents when they were old.

Capitalism is natural selection in 21st century
Prove me wrong commies

They didn't survive for long, and if they became disabled, they were fucked.

Also, the pic is ridiculous. The unemployment is low in welfare states, and there is no unemployment spikes either due to depression - since that is specifically what the social spending counters.

>People had children so they could take care of their parents when they were old.
You really think your great-grandfather said to his wife, "Honey, lets make some more kids, 5 are not enough to take care of us in our old age".

just like today, but without such benefits that gave us capitalism for today and without bastards living with our money taken with force. welfare state started at the end of 19th century, just after era of pretty free market, growing productivity and increasing wealth of common workers. of couse there were some people in need, but they were supported by voulantary charity. people just think, that this wealth we gained by economic freedom is gaven by fortune or somethong so they can just enforce "social justice". no right.

They lived with much smaller means and spent more time working harder jobs.

He didnt have to say it it he jumped on her and humped her whenever he liked you dumb nordcuck

Talk to anyone from a less developed country and they say who is going to look after you when you are old? You need children. It's not the leading cause of people having children but they were aware of it.

>They worked basically all their lives.

that's why you save money. it's why all religious texts say to save your money. it's why all rich people say "save your fucking money if you want to get rich"

Nobody ever became rich by spending all of their money.

How old is that Japan cone? Looks old enough to have been built by the Ainu

People basically worked their entire lives, they worked in their farms and animal husbandry, and those who did not had their own land worked for bourgeoisie's.
Think about this you fucking NEET's.

Love you bruh

not aliens, just the house shape that lasts

look up Abraham Wald - survivorship bias, or "The Planes and the Missing Bullet Holes"

easily 40% of the people in Australia are on some form of government benefit
and this isn't "10 dollars a week for fuel" benefits, this is "200+ a fortnight for muh faaaamily" benefits

They fought, worked or begged.

why would I work when I would pay over 50% of it back in taxes to my retarded government just so they can import more 3rd world refugees?

Yes, that is usually what happened.
Just ask some of your new countrymen outbreeding you.

Like this

Given the economics of the time, it was easier for peasants to create income generating children then save income themselves.

The working class who didn't save usually ended their years in almhouses.

if you thick that government just came, looked on this and said:"let be welfare" and everybody started to build skyscrapers and live better you're dumb. to build welfare state you need something to grab from people and then redestribute.

>almhouses
exactly. you don't want to live in an almhouse, do you?

That's the best motivation to get your ass out of poverty.

Nobody ever became rich by saving all their money either. They either inherited it or were broke a few times before earning mad dosh. Nobody ever became rich by saving money. How much money do you make a year? How many years (decades?) would you have to save ALL your money to become a millionaire? And even then you're not really rich.

So nothing's changed? We just added bricks and used prison architecture and gave their votes to Democrats?

>if you thick that government just came
kike gommies game to russia and killed gobernment
western gobernments said "led be welfare"

Families and communities

We had stronger and closer communities where families, churches and charities that donated resources to help those who actually needed help.
