Wait. Why would that get hate here?
Pretty sure it's just a way to bait more upvotes.
It definitely wouldn’t.
The guy clearly said something that makes perfect sense and has at least 2 down votes so far.
Don’t ya think the two downvotes might be
“Unpopular opinion here but”
popular opinion here
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.
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.
I don't want to get any hate here but I think trump sucks.
