... I’ll maintain people are gullible if they don’t think most leaders on the left in America would prefer our economy was structured more like a Nordic country than what it currently is … and I’m sure I’ll be met with, “And what’s wrong with that?!”
...
I would like to hear what are YOUR top three things that would be "really horrible" for the US, if we actually structured ourselves more like a "Nordic country."
For one, Nordic countries treat Muslims and people with my skin color like second class citizens.
Oh yes.
We never do that here in the US. Most especially from MAGA Republicans.
He's not saying racism is nonexistent in the US but on the whole, it is a far more tolerant country than most others. Someone who became a citizen yesterday is considered just as American as someone whose ancestors came here on the Mayflower.
If you are, say a non-Norwegian person who lives in Norway, you'll never really be seen as a true Norwegian.
Excuse me, but did you miss the tons of videos that were posted in Atlas (mainly during trump's presidency), about the massive increase in MAGA white idiots, telling people of color over and over and over, that that they did not belong in this country, and that they "need to go back to their country." Videos along the roadway/sidewalk, in Walmart, shopping center parking lots, grocery stores, restaurants, everywhere.
Those individuals that experienced this hateful bigotry from MAGA Republicans, explained how they had been two or even three generations in this nation. So don't go off spouting lies about how "non-Norwegians will never be seen as true Norwegians," when we watched tons of videos showing a massive increase in hate, all due to Mr-MAGA-trump. These idiots here in the US, did the exact same thing you are complaining about in Norway.
We have over 330 million people in this country so even if 5% of them were super xenophobic , that would still be a lot of people but they wouldn’t be close to representative.
