Oh no, Id have to have free healthcare, affordable housing, government job finding assistance, free education and vocational training wholly dependent on my grades, free addiction assistance should I fall into addiction, an economy built for resilience instead of catered to boom/bust cycles…
How would I survive in such a horrid nightmarescape.
Sorry, which of those countries do you think have those? The vast majority of Chinese and Russian citizens in what the west would consider absolutely horrible conditions.
As rough as it is here, you could not imagine a life there, working 2x as hard for 1/2 as much hope.
They just have dramatically lower aspirations, specifically they aspire to live to have kids, at which point it’s all their problem.
The reason the West has gotten so much worse is now we have to compete with people who have literally nothing and would kill for 1/10th what we have. They’re just as capitalist as we are, they just include more direct violence in their interpretation of capitalism.
I’ve been attacked socially and economically by the capitalist arseholes ruining my country.
China or Russia are not going to do more damage to me than my government or its ally (America) already has.
We’ve been in war forever, it’s called a class war and it’s the only one that matters.
You think you’d be better as a Chinese or Russian citizen? Because that’s the damage they’d like to do to you.

You have 0 idea what you’re talking about.
Free healthcare? Yeah, I’d rather see an American veterinarian.

You’ve never worked in China.

I aspire to have a roof over my head at old age, I can’t begin to imagine having children.
The reason the west has gotten so much worse is the same reason it’s shit in China; capitalism.
Well then I have some bad news for you, they’re a hell of a lot more capitalist than we are.
