I'm pretty successful coming from two parents with zero college education. My wife is too.

My wife and I are almost making more than either of our parents did and will soon get to making more than either of our parents combined.

When you find $64 trillion lying around make sure to let me know. Norway has saved a colossal amount of wealth relative to population.

Shared culture and ethnicity leads to increased social trust, which in turn is why these countries find it so easy to implement and maintain strong social welfare policies.

Cool story bro. I'm not the one struggling with vocabulary words here.

Now stop being niggardly with good posts.

Q: "Is Bernie a communist?"
A: "Yes!"
Q: "Why?"
A: "Because he's a communist. Checkmate, libtards."

/thread




But for real: Bernie is not a communist, he's hovering around the border separating socialism from social democracy. He definitely is FAR to the left of the American mainstream on economic issues though.

I personally like Bernie and am convinced that he means well. I even agree with a good number of his problem analyses. Unfortunately, I disagree with the majority of the solutions he proposes, and I fucking hate and distrust virtually everyone in his orbit. Therefore, I definitely wouldnt vote for him and would root for his opponent, both within the primary context and in the general election.

Glad you agree that the reason we can't have nice things is rampant xenophobia.


You cant create trust or solidarity with a decree, cant create it out of nowhere. Trust needs to have a tangible basis in common interests, a shared history, shared preferences/tastes/culture or a shared vision for the future.

Generally speaking, social and political science is in unambiguous about the finding that all across the world and all across human history, heterogeneity has always been detrimental to trust and to building up social capital. Tribalism is deeply ingrained in human nature, and can only pushed back by a conscious effort to a certain, limited degree. Why do you think the forces with the least interest in solidarity and a strong degree of redistribution are the ones pushing for policies that disempower the homogeneous nation state and try to heterogenize it?
