There is a thin line between feeding trolls and calling out their bullshit in a civilized way because calling them out forcefully makes some people think I'm the bad guy.

My main concern here is making sure no one falls this idiots doomer advice because waiting to invest for retirement is a huge mistake.

And not everyone is raised by financially literate parents so they can't tell the difference between good and bad advice.

Valid point. I think it’s more when it’s going ~3+ replies with the same tired arguments that it’s gruel into the troll.

Also, since joining Lemmy, I use the block button a lot more for people than I used to.
