It does though. Not saying that this is the only reason but it plays a big part. When healthcare falls on the government they want to minimize the cost, and a good way to lighten the bill is to have a healthy population. They usually do this through regulations and ad campaigns.

It's still capitalism

Northern Europe has a lot of issues with racism and a big part of why they are able to get people on board with socialized policy is because they are insular and homogenized populations. The uncomfortable truth is that people are more more willing to help others that look and act like them.

It really isn’t fair to compare that to a country that is more than 10x bigger and dealing with issues that come with a diverse population. We have more Trump voters than Sweden has people.

saw a baby one and got tf outta there before the parents came and hit me with a clean two-piece

Shouldve adopted him

I advocate for social democracy BUT implemented in multiracial countries like UK, US, Canada and so on

It’s a tell when whites praise scandinavia as the pinnacle of society bcus those countries are dangerously racist and xenophobic

If yr a minority youll face a better day to day life in North America as far as race

It is

And it’s like this in most other non US western countries. Despite the many things wrong in the states as a young poc there just isnt a more culturally fulfilling place than America

Shi i moved to canada which is as “USA” without being USA as u get and even here f***ing sucks. Literally every social, work interaction is surrounded by 95% whites and their culture and the little idiosyncrasies that’ll drive any poc mad

Id kill my self if i had to live in sweden and im a pretty left wing person

Europeans lead healthier lifestyles, sure, but the difference doesn’t account for the insane price gouging that is standard in America’s slipshod healthcare patchwork

for anyone interested, here’s the single most insightful resource about American healthcare from a fiscal conservative lens. And in really simple and easy-to-understand terms. Very engaging as well. If you find an hour to listen, I think every American should:

The first part of yr paragraph is hundred percent true but the second part isn’t exactly

Canada Uk and germany are all pretty multiracial countries with social democratic elements

countries in scandinavia generally try to keep flexible labor markets (lower corporate tax rates, no minimum wage, and generally better protections for job seekers) balanced with flat taxes (VAT, consumption taxes, and flatter income taxes from what you'd see in the U.S.) to maintain their welfare states

this differs from country to country but it's generally how it works.

good point

We are like one election away from having that type of government in the US. They really aren’t taking care of their citizens the same way as the Nordic model.

we really are products of our environments

yikes...

Australia the Florida of the east

Melbourne has bit of black population

Beach house - Norway

F***ing barely. Its wayy overstated in the news in other states specifically gangs etc. love racism :)
