Yes, I am all for social democracy, but to have welfare you need to build it.
Europe had a nice time living on the dividend from the wealth it gathered in the past, and the fact that US provided military protection. Society becomes older, and US is withdrawing, so that model is no longer viable.
To win you need to have strength. And to build your strength you need to work quite hard. Nothing comes free in this world. I would prefer that Europe sacrifices some of its comfort and survives because of it, instead of dying out with a claim to moral victory.
- closewith 1y agoEurope works hard. Europe is not decaying, not like the United States at least. You lack the introspection to see that. Europe is strong, stronger than the United States in its core institutions. You also lack the introspection to see that. It is the United States that is at risk of losing its sovereignty, its wealth, and it's power. Again, you lack the introspection to see that too.
- wolvesechoes 1y agoQuite hard to use the power of introspection in such context, for I am not a continent.
