We. Live. In. A. Society.
The Nordic nations are societies. They care for one another. They don't resent their taxes being used to aid and elevate the other members of their society. They root for one another in more than empty rhetoric.
We the US are just a bunch of rugged individuals competing against one another at eachother's throats due to decades of propaganda by our owner class to keep us divided, isolated, and distracted from what they've inflicted upon our former society.
There's a reason they hide behind gates and door guards, they know what they've done to this country outside their steel towers and golf clubs.
It's the hunger games, writ large.
With some gumption, a can-do attitude, and good ol' fashioned work ethic, the odds will be ever in your favor!
