> The us vs them in your comment feels quasi-political and unfounded. Yeah, I've noticed there's a lot of virtue signaling form some Europeans, especially amongst the wealthier Germans, Benelux, and Nordics who have this "holier than though" posture on how much better they are than Americans(wide brush stroke here) for being non-materialistic (also copium for their low skilled wages), while coasting on generational wealth inherited from those before them. Well if you're so non-materialistic, why aren't dropping the prices of your housing so other people can actually afford to buy something instead of hoping to profiteer from them like those "greedy" Americans? As always, the people lecturing you on how money doesn't matter, are those who already have money. Just like those Germans laughing at Trump when he warned them about Germany's dependence on Russian energy in 2018. [1] They can be so smug and full of themselves sometimes. [1] [VIDEO]

> Eh I would say Socialism as practiced in Western Europe and the Nordics is doing better It is not an easy comparison. They have the luxury of the US taxpayers taking care of their defense while they propped up Russia, which US is also paying the most by a large margin to fix now [1, 2, 3]. Hilariously US socialists are against US defense spending except when it comes to US spending on Europe. They also have the luxury of oil money which American "socialists" are totally against [4]. All in all, a pretty neat scam if you ask me. [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO] [3] [LINK] [4] [LINK] . Edit: All of what I say is objective. Luxurious Western Europe and Nordic "socialism" can't survive without gullible US taxpayers footing the bill over decades.
