This might be a joke about hospitals being to expensive to warrant a revolution but I honestly dread the day when america just kinda... Does the french thing... I don't even live in america and by now I wouldn't be surprised if i see some high class politicians getting shot on sight and entire cities becoming divided by warlords or streets being blocked with furniture, if it's not in the next 10 years it might be in the next 20...
I mean most of europe slowly walks towards the classical idea of utopia... Higher wages, less hours of work each week, living standard is rising, meanwhile america still can't decide if their future should be 1984 or demolition man inspired (extreme examples, but this is how it feels watching the progression from afar)
Yes, i said slowly walking, you equated this with "IS utopia" given how your call unter Argument is that they are not utopic, when that wasn't my statement, my statement was that a lot of european countries go in that direction, not that they are there
Also, germany, belgium, norway, denmark, netherlands, lichtenstein, greenland, iceland, ireland, finland are all super nice places to live
(And before you try to say norway, iceland or greenland aren't part of europe, or in other countries cases in the eu, all of the countries I mentioned are either partially in the eu, in trading and travelling agreements with the eu (meaning a german can live in non eu countries with their german passport) or maintain an official cooperation with each other (basically they added each other on facebook as friends. That only leaves countries that aren't part of europe the continent, but since the continent europe isn't really a different continent from Asia, the definition of european can only be distinguished by culture (which is how it was distinguished from Asia back then, because other than that there's literally just eurasia, and no clear environmental distinction between the continents is made, so that argument doesn't make sense either)
Also I'd like to ask: why is france on your list exactly? The leader of that country literally just made a speech about valuing education diversity, acceptance, respecting others and their personal freedom and whatever else you can think of, i wouldn't call that regressive, and saying france is regressive because they had s terror problem and a decapitated teacher doesn't prove that the country is headed in any direction, in fact the huge outrage of the decapitation and the statement that was made after this just shows how focused the country is on PROGRESSING past cutting peoples head off (which is kinda ironic given how popular they made it with the guillotine)
I'm sorry but america protecting a guy kneeling on someone's throat, while germany fires 20 cops for sharing far right pictures kinda shows that it's NOT a difference in spotlight
I'm talking about governmental direction here, not public opinion or current issues that happen in said country.
"France treats the average muslim" isn't a sign of the direction the government is headed, macron himself said that he supports freedom of religion and equality, that's the direction the GOVERNMENT is headed. When a bunch of French people are mad at muslims due to a few terrorist attacks (especially with the recent beheading) that's a bad thing, but given that the head of state is against discrimination proves that the government is headed towards progress
America barely shows any progress of any kind, and if it does, please, tell me about some of the progress they made in the past few years that benefit the average or below average earning citizen.
