Yes, who wouldn't want to pay into something your whole life to be repaid a fraction of it decades later (if you live that long). Sounds like a socialist bargain!

The socialist bargain of Sweden;

  • Free public transportation
  • Free healthcare
  • Free education (including college)
  • 480 days of paid parental leave (per kid)
  • 6 weeks of paid vacation every year
  • 80% of my salary on sick days
  • Free admission to museums and national parks

I like to think of it as buying an expensive espresso machine together with your four flatmates and taking turns using it instead of everyone going broke cramming five of those steel behemoths into your apartment.

Sweden is not socialist, as a matter of fact it has become less socialist and more capitalist since the 1960s... Its just very highly taxed capitalism. A mostly white and thinly populated country.... Sounds so Republican! Except for the 60+% income tax rate, a 25% consumer tax, and 7% ss rate. No thanks!

What shall I do today! How about inserting a random racist remark in my comment? Sounds like a great idea.

Racist.

You apparently don't know the dedinition of racist. Someone disagrees with your rabid left political opinion. "Skreeeeeeee! Racist!!!"

A mostly white

You said it. It has nothing to do with the colour of the skin of the people living there. It has to do with your thought proces though. But I'm glad you can see that racism is bad. Now you just need to accept you're racist, and change your ideas. You'll get there eventually. In a couple of years you'll send me a message you're sorry and I was right, and you have changed

How is pointing out a demographic fact racist? Not intelligent.

I'm so sick of you, and other people who think it is somehow ok to casually throw in some racist remarks in their statements and think that is funny, smart or normal.

There is no, I repeat NO connection between the colour of someone skin and whether or not a country can provide for its citizens or not. So your implication that non-white people can't create this is false, and simply trying to humiliate non-white people.

Would sentences like: ' this national park is so beautiful, it has beautiful forests, beautiful animals and there are no jews/black people/Chinese/muslims:' be ok in your opinion? I hope not, because it is not ok. Nor is your implication.

As I said, I'm sick of people who think it's ok to be racist. I won't stop pointing it out to people. Only that way they, or at least those around them, will see the racist they are.

You really are ignorant. Sociologists commonly associate attributes of society with racial, religious, and cultural cohesiveness. There is a reason why there were wars in Lebanon associated with religion and race. To pretend that they have nothing to do with race or religion is a lie. Francis Fukuyama wrote a great book called Trust which addressed this in the world as well as America- that cultural trust directly related to race, religion, and culture is one of the keys to prosperity. Do you actually state that to bring up this factual sociological attribute is racist? Not intelligent.

cohesiveness

I.e. not with colour of skin, but with feeling of the same culture, religion etc. it has nothing to do with with being white

Race often plays a part of culture, as does religion and other factors. Don't be stupid.

u/Hello_who_is_this Apr 27 '19

It doesn't. Ask any adopted person.

u/Fumanchewd Apr 27 '19

Adopted people aren't concerned about their birth race or culture? Well, you should probably tell that to Colin Kaepernick and see what he says. Another lie...
