Every accusation my friend :)

You believe that when people get old they are fucked. And you just assume I don't have kids because I pointed out there's more support than just the state and immediate family. Hell, if you're part of a church that's another level of support.

Family, friends, church, neighbors, immediate family, extended family... these are all layers of support. Somehow you think I'm trying to say that means they will 100% always be available for my use (sounds like your narcissistic protection here). When in reality each layer is meant to help insulate, but not completely eliminate, the need to go it alone. Yes, at the end of the day we are alone and only have ourselves to rely on, but that doesn't have to be the only way you live, contrary to what you seem to think.

Just because you have no support system doesn't mean everyone in the world is the same. Maybe you're angry that other people have robust support networks while you don't. Idk.
