    I’ll get hate here (this instance/community) but I don’t give a fuck.

    There’s more than one way to skin a cat. I don’t care if it’s welfare capitalism, UBI, socialism or fucking whatever. SOMEONE needs to do SOMETHING to give people that work less profitable/high class/whatever jobs a decent humane life.

    Everyone’s work is important, otherwise it wouldn’t be done. And they deserve to live a decent life.

    Does that mean they go on intercontiental holidays to 5 star hotels? No. Does that mean they can afford food, heat, shelter and the ability to start a family? Yes.

        communities based on specific ideologies don’t tend to accept other ways of solutioning… sometimes.

        EDIT : also, my approach/suggestion is “capitalism not so bad” which isn’t in line with the zoomer way of seeing things, and they’re right for it, but not right in solving the problems they have.

          i dont think this is that controversial either. it can be comfortable/have reins, like the meme exemplifies with north european countries.

          my problem is that it depends entirely on the generosity of the burgeoise, and inevitably goes runaway and soon we have to bomb other countries/enslave people to keep the rich getting richer. infinite growth and stuff is hard to sustain.

          How about this then:

          Norway only has great social welfare programs because it sells so much oil from the North Sea. We’re subsidizing their better lives and EV greenwashing with CO2.

            How about no. Sweden has no oil and is doing almost as good.
