All of these countries have majority populations of white Europeans mostly descended from locals... which is to say that they each have a majority population that is of one ethnic and sociocultural background which they have shared for hundreds (or thousands) of years. Their internal social stability has a lot more to do with the historical momentum of their population having primarily shared interests and culture than it does with their method of voting.
Bro nationalism hasn't been cool since before WWII, stop being the loser that keeps trying to make it happen.
Nationalism is what you got from what I wrote? Did you read it at all?
You're right. It's racism.
Because that's exactly what your wrote.
Fuck off Nazi 🖕

No, that's exactly what you're saying. To you the reason they can have nice things is because they're homogenous, you're implying that diversity prevents stability and what is diversity from a national perspective? People of different origins.
You're saying that people of different origins create instability in the countries they immigrate to, you're a racist that's not courageous or honest enough to admit it.
So again, fuck off Nazi 🖕
1/4 of the swiss population are immigrants, not including naturalized immigrants. And most countries have a majority population...what exactly is the argument there?
Surprised by so many downvotes for this, its a fairly accurate observation. I dont see how this promotes or demotes anything.
It's mostly because this has been a go-to response by Americans in topics about some European countries doing significantly better than the US: "It's because they don't have black people".
*some Americans.
Yes, I didn't mean to imply it's everyone. But it usually comes from an American.
Kinda a funny comment to make an over generalization on lol
Tbf that's more them telling on themselves in context.
Roosevelt's coalition failed to deliver the full extent of what we'd see in Nordic states and other such robust welfare systems because the dixiecrats rebelled against those things also applying to black people and not being easy enough to use discriminatingly.
