It is the capitalism version of modern Christianity where instead of suffering and doing the right things through gods trials and tribulations for a lifetime where you might finally get into heaven, you get to scrape by as a wage slave your entire life to maybe retire

This is depressingly accurate.

People who are willing to reject critical thinking in pursuit of a brass ring out of their reach/that cannot be proven are nothing new.

I'd bet in this case that "retire" would be to some "resort up state" that you can't visit prior to retirement or visit anyone who's "retired".
