I’m sorry? Which society doesn’t have such unfairness? And don’t randomly say Europe, that is such a misconception.

      Plus Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Israel. Why do you want to bring race into a discussion that has nothing to do with race? Fuck off.

        If you think South Korea and Japan are the lane of opportunity you basically invalidated everything you have argued with your ignorance of these nations current cultural situations. SK makes american capitalistic inequality and unfairness look like a playground. Japan is literally dying of its frozen cultural mobility issues. It feels like you don’t know what you are saying.

        Oh the results of colonialism 'Canada, Australia, New Zealand' and the countries brought to power specifically due to the US 'Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan'? Yes, let's just conveniently alter the stats by leaving out all of the countries that are worse. This isn't reddit, tone down the anger please. Also, maybe look up the definition of mostly before going off in rage commenting mode.

      Always funny to see the denials Americans are in. USA poverty rate is on the same level than Turkey. https://data.oecd.org/inequality/poverty-rate.htm https://data.oecd.org/inequality/poverty-rate.htm For income inequality rate, USA is also in the worse: https://data.oecd.org/inequality/income-inequality.htm#indicator-chart https://data.oecd.org/inequality/income-inequality.htm#indic...

        Yes, USA is denial while your pad your stats by only mentioned a handful of western European nations.

          "Handful of western European nations" Country on the east of Germany aren't west Europe.

    Why would inequality be the important metric, and not absolute quality of life? If we killed a few billionaires, there would be less inequality in America, but I don't think anyone's life would actually be better for it.
    • slashdev 3y ago
      That’s precisely my point. I don’t care how rich the 1% are. I care about my quality of life. I want an economic system that optimizes the latter, not one that reduces inequality. Communism is a great example of an economic system aimed at reducing inequality. What it actually achieves is making everyone equally poor.
