Denmark is not a socialist country. It's a social democracy, like the rest of Europe
Americans call European countries socialist because 1. they don't even know what socialism is 2. they call that (republicans, Trump voters) so they can explain the awesomeness of hamerica ( sarcasm)
It should be. 😇
@@luciferkotsutempchannel Why? Because it's better than the USA?
Yup, they call us socialist in Canada and, like Europe, we're a social democracy. It's sad, isn't it?
@@wessexdruid7598 I like Democracy. That's why.
I admire you for trying to educate yourself. The worst thing a person can do is not to look beyond their own experience and not to learn from other people’s ways of living. I hope you’ll be able to travel abroad soon. Greetings from New Zealand.
Watching some TH-cam videos with cartoons in it doesn't really count as education.
@@miskatonic6210 Cartoons can never be educational? So the schoolhouse rock that so many people have grown up with never taught anything? All those animated 'how to' films that they showed soldiers in WW2 on any number of subject, from survival at sea to the inner workings of a piece of machinery never passed on lifesaving information? Any media can be educational, and any media can be mindless.
@@miskatonic6210 education can come in many forms. And don't be a snob about animation.
NZ a beautiful and amazing country, been there twice. Loved it.
Not knowing is not shameful. Not willing to learn anything new is shameful - Plato.
My daughter is disabled. She has had two major hip surgeries, icu treatment and brain surgery. She has probably spent a year in hospitals at this point combined She gets a new wheel chair every time she outgrows her old one. She even got a hand built special bed built on site in her room. They make laser cast braces for her legs twice a year. She is in special school, she has at home health assistants to help her every day. Every other weekend she gets to go to "camp" it's like a weekend activity for disabled children to meet others and do fun things without their parents. I have never paid anything for any of this. Not a single krona (swedish currency) why do americans put up with this stuff??
In short: Propaganda.
From pledge of allegiance to news that inflame instead of inform, to myths of American exceptionalism, freedom, bravery, long bygone American dream, low education filled with propaganda (no negativity of US), solely focused on the US...
Critical thinking is tertiary education (university level), before you are conditioned.
If you don't know anything about other countries, critical thinking or politics, and told your country is the best, you don't expect a better to be possible, and accept the current conditions as best.
Many US Americans believe beyond their borders lie primarily dictatorships, corrupt governments and third world country conditions.
And that everyone's dream is to come to the US.
But except for some South Americans countries, who ironically have suffered interventions and exploitation by the US, but also were influenced by it, that is not the case. The rest of the world knows better.
The main issue is that the US has de facto become a neo-liberal economic oligarchy. The peole think they are in power and have representation, but they elect only the handyman for capitalist wealth interest (low regulation, low taxation).
What everyone understanding the issue is waiting for is that a majority realizes they have been politically disenfranchised.
"no taxation without representation"...
The US has good PR, since it convinces most of it's people to be free, when they so obviously are not. You are only free if you can afford it or have business.
But that's the thing people don't realize the world over. the power of suggestion and perfidy of propaganda.
I wonder how long. It has worked for 60 years+, but now the crises stacking, it might go quicker than we expect.
Because.... because... FREEDOM!! 😂🤣
Because many of them are poorly educated, believe the crap coming from politicians ( mostly Republicans) and many rich religious leaders who lie and are in the pockets of major corporations. Plus many are so insular they have become wilfully ignorant and racist.
@@curtisthomas2670
Freedom
of stupidness
Everything is a for profit business in the US unfortunately. And that profit must have unsustainable exponential growth at all times.
I was at a bar when some guy was spouting the whole right wing "how are you going to pay for universal health care?" crap. I just smiled and said, "Oh, that's easy. You take the money you're currently giving away to an insurance company, you keep some of it and you pay the rest into Medicare."
Or. you apply a very small tax on earnings and just give anybody who needs medical care the medical care they need. Its cheaper to run and administer than any patient payment or insurance system and no one has to decide whether they can afford to pay for their basic human rights. Unless you live in a financially fascist authoritarian semi dictatorship like the USA that is.
@@martinvalentine9228 Yes, that's the long version. I phrased it in such a way that he looked completely ridiculous. In the UK, the NHS has been described as "the closest thing we have to a religion".
Admire you for playing this and can see your pain .. it's a crying shame what greed does
It breaks my heart to see your reaction. I only hope you can gather strength to share these realisations and inspire change.
I don't love America, I never have but I hate to see people exploited and suffer unnecessaryly.
Good luck and chin up, remember Europe is ahead now but they are much older and mature countries, think of it as the terrible twos and Europe as the sensible preteens and the the Middle East and the rebellious and moody teens (who just want thier littlebrothers to stay out of thier room and stop stealing thier stuff 😉) africa the exhausted parents who have been stripped of all their energy and resources by the kids and China the grand parents who just want those whippersnappers who don't know thier born to do things right.
...
I think that went to far, but smile your country is only 250 years old, seriously I'm sure the countries wealth makes change harder to start but you might not have to suffer so much once its started.
You said it yourself: You really have come a long way since you started. 👍
But also, congratulations - you've now started seing the US the way it looks to most of the world. Sad but true. 💔
The UN wanted to pass a resolution stating it should be a right for everyone to have access to sufficient food to sustain them.
Guess which was the only country to vote against it.
People don't think about the corruption in the US. Companies pay politicians to vote their bidding. In 2016, American politicians voted against the right to negotiate price on medication. So now Americans have to pay whatever the pharmaceutical industry demands. While the rest of the world negotiate on how much we're ready to pay....
America voted against it? Disgusting.
Republicans recently voted AGAINST a bill to cap prices on insulin, despite the FACT that the US has the highest obesity rate and has the 4th highest amount of diabetics behind China, lndia, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
I just checked it on the UN's own website, because i couldn't believe it.
191 votes. Only one 'No' vote and it was from the USA.
You know how bad your country is behaving when:
Vietnam, North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, Afghanisistan, Libya, Syria, Tunesia, Yemen, Haiti, Lebanon, Panama, Mexico, Cuba, Pakistan and Congo see more value in human life than your own country...
I am german, but my dad used to work in the US. We were absolutely shocked when we heard, that his company fired one of his coleagues who had a brain tumor because he was in the hospital and coudn't go to work. Especially considering that he got his insurance from the employer. What shocked us even more, was that to his american colleagues this was pretty mauch a natural consequemce...
Yep, unfortunately thats a common occurrence here. Pardon my language but I have to say if is bullshit. The country is like one big business only caring about increasing its already large profit and cares nothing for the workers who make their money for them. We are all expendable in their eyes. Sadly, I rarely go to the doctor because I can't afford to miss time from work and because of the high cost of simply going to the doctor.
I have visited the USA twice, it was nice but I would never move there. Some diskussions I had with americans, who would not listen to what I said. Not all americans, but some. When they asked how things work in my country and I tried to explain, socialism and communist, was all they thought. I am from Sweden, and I will happily continue living here because I know I have a good life, with socialism and communism or whatewer the americans call it 😀
I lived in New York between -95 and -98. In my experience, the average American is incredibly ignorant. They live in their own bubble and don't even want to leave it even if you make waterproof arguments why their system is completely rotten they defend it fiercely and pull the communist card very easily even that they don't even understand what communism was all about. I felt and still do sad for them. Greetings from Finland 🙂
you know EXACTLY how we refer to your country. when your country has nothing to defend(i.e. a way of life)you(the country) can do a lot of beneficial things. when you have only 10 million citizens, and really have NOTHING to defend(staying neutral has some benefits)....you can afford to 'look' beneficent .... the free world doesn't expect anything of you......next!
@leroy Leach I assume you are american? This is exactly what I mean about discussing with americans, waste of time. I do not mean all americans, but some, get so aggressive if told that the US is not the greatest country in the world. They can not have a deacent discussion. We have a lot to defend here, if it comes down to it. The free world expects nothing from us? What do you mean with the "free world"? We are pretty free here in Sweden, so we do not expect anything from our selves?
@@leroyleach7581 Denmark has nothing to defend? Denmark has existed for more than a thousand years and it has way more culture than the U.S . They certainly have a "way of life" to defend.
@@leroyleach7581
Okay...we only have a population of just under 85 million. (including a steadily growing number of US-Americans fleeing from ignorant predatory capitalism) They have realized that the work-life balance in Europe is decidedly better than in the States. What does the US have to 'defend'? Freedom of speech? Don't make me laugh! In Europe you can say ANYTHING on TV without being directly beeped down. Freedom of movement? I can even drink wine or beer in public without having to wrap a paper bag around a bottle hidden inside. Apart from mostly inhumane working conditions combined with catastrophic health care, I really only see the USA as an tourist destination because mountains, lakes and sights can't talk trash. I, for one, love my life in a 'social market economy' with 30 days (paid!) vacation, free education, low crime rate and an intact infrastructure. I am very curious when there will finally be an uprising of the masses in the States against the conditions prevailing there. Probably, however, that will not happen, because the people have been plastered for decades with the slogan that the US is the No. 1 and the best in the world. And all politicians need dumb voters in order to get pampered by big corporations to keep things as they are.
The United States is largely a third-world country. The Northeast and most of the West Coast are considered first world, but the South and the interior are third world according the United Nations' standards.
So it hits home finally because it's an American who is pointing this stuff out. Why would you think the rest of the world is lying to you?
A third-world country with good PR.
@@celeschan90 Well a gold covered pile of shit, is still shit.
The west coast 1 world country, maybe, but you go tell that to the 100.000 homeless ppl. In California. 🖖
A third world country with a Gucci belt..
Texas with 29 million people...has more homicides per year than....Germany..UK..Spain...Australia and South Korea combined.....total population 270 million people!!!....just think about that...
Don't despair, there is always tomorrow, from an Australian living the dream in Mozambique
There is tomorrow if fools in Washington don't do something stupid.
I feel your sadness through the screen ... we can only hope that something good will happen soon in your country. Americans should not be forced to live like this in 2022! Greetings from Sweden
It absolutely beggars belief that every US American is not aware of these FACTS. Or maybe it is simply that they are experiencing extreme cognitive dissonance.
I read an article back in the day when blogs were still a thing. This guy from somewhere in Ohio explained how he had [insert-disease-here] and had to had his hip replaced and he was desperate because the money he would pay would have endebted him possibly for the rest of his life. And then someone told him "why don't you do it in Europe?" and the guy started researching how much would that cost him. Turns out for the same amount of money he would pay in the states he could: 1. Have the surgery in Spain; 2. Rent an apartment in the centre of Madrid FOR 2 YEARS; 3. Cover all his daily expenses (food, clothes, utility bills, and entertainment) for that entire period + plane tickets. So, that's what he did, not for 2 years of course, because he didn't want to be so deep in debt, but for 2 months until he recovers completely and not in an apartment with extremely high rent. And he spent less than a tenth of what only his medical bill would have been in his home country. I truly cannot understand how this is the situation in your country. Beyond comprehension.
The past few videos i've seen from you, reacting to what Eurpeans think of america, i've seen you get a bit defensive when the Europeans were rather mean about the US. But believe me when i tell you, most of us are not angry AT you, we're angry FOR you. There might be people that say "americans are dumb." or "americans are idiots" but that is the frustration speaking out of us.
Most of us grew up loving the US from the image they portrayed in their movies, but the older we got we were forced to see its cruel and heartless side.
We're angry for you US citizens that are forced to live in these shyte circumstances even tho you have so much potential to become a great nation.
💯 FACTS
This!
Got to agree with this, pal.
This is so true, we Europeans get angry and frustrated at US government and commerce, because we feel so sad for the people, especially when they are made to believe the bs and the lies...
@Apocalypse Especially since we can see this criminal business ideas are taking over here in Europe as well, leeching off the welfare system.
As a Brit living in the UK, I found that video extremely sad and quite disturbing. It was an eye-opener to me as I didn't realise that lots of USA citizens had to have 2 jobs just to survive to pay all their taxes. Britain has it's faults, but I am so glad I live here and have the comfort of having our NHS.
Until the Tory arseholes finish selling it off to US healthcare corporations.
Never give up your NHS. If something isn't right about it then just work to improve it, but don't ever let anyone tell you that it should go away.
@@namehere5675 no government would ever try to openly dismantle the NHS - just the opposite in USA where no MP's will try and introduce it - what a twisted country USA is I'm happy to be a Brit 🇬🇧 and nothing would persuade me that USA is the land of the free
It’s very sad to see and hear. I’m Swedish and this is so far from ok. Braveness is to educate and be aware 💕
@Name Here I understand your point. Knowing a few nurses who are just so tired but brave to continue to work. The thing is to give them a better raise. Covid 19 isn't really that over yet. And mostly acknowledge the work that they do. By nurse I mean M/F though it's mostly F.
I'm saying that, it's because I know a woman, who started working in a hospital and now she's just burnt-out. So get the government on track and that they give the NHS more money , for the equipment, formation, and the salaries.
35 days paid holiday . 6 months full sick pay . Three children one in neonatal intensive care for a month - no charge . I consider myself a socialist and want to live in a country that looks after the weakest . We do have problems in England and I know NHS is in trouble at the moment . But you lot in USA need to educate yourselves . It seems to me the rich do a good job of keeping the focus off their parasitic behaviour .
The only reason the NHS is in trouble, is because the greedy bastards at the top want a system like America's and are starving the NHS of funds and then saying "look, we can't afford XYZ" and "look how badly the NHS is doing".
And after standing in the street to clap the NHS through covid and we all agreed that NHS staff should get a pay rise.....they got nothing and the MPs got a £2k rise per year.
Actually they own the media, or stay within the lanes of those who do to create a positive propaganda image of themselves, people white knight on their behalf against their own neighbors sharing their plight. They want their suffering to mean something and rather than face it was always for the sake of some rich asshole to own a 3rd mega yacht as it would probably cause a psychotic break in their mind, they attack any and every one that would dispel that illusion and love every single person who supports the delusion. Final Fantasy 14 is very clear on this point. Those who are granted illusions that make them feel comforted and meaningful will be worshipped blindly until death, any who questions that illusion will be attacked and castigated. Very sad to do this to your own people, sick, sad, disgusting. This place deserves a good fumigating of parasites in my opinion.
Whenever i feel bad, because life in Europe is so "shitty", i watch a video about living in the US and instantly feel awesome again
There are two kinds of freedom: negative and positive. Negative freedom is the freedom OF something (Freedom of speech = Not to be censored by the state, Freedom of moving = not to be forced by the state to live in a particular place). One could call this "defensive freedoms/rights". But there is also positive freedom, and it seems that most US Americans don't understand it. Positive freedom is the freedom TO something. (Freedom to live along and healthy life, Freedom to work under humane conditions, etc.). One might call this "enabeling freedoms/rights". This kind of freedom is in your Declaration of Independence too, like the "pursuit of happiness". What happened to that between 10,000$ for giving birth and having to work in 3 jobs and still barely making a living? In terms of positive freedom, the USA are one of the most UNfree countries in the world. Land of the free? More like Land of the exploited...
In a sense, I'd argue that it's a meaningless distinction. You can "technically" have freedom of speech but if you can be fired and risk financial distress for speaking out against your boss, or in support of a cause they disagree with, then you don't *really* have freedom of speech. If there isn't a government to tell you you can't go somewhere, but going on the streets is dangerous because there's shootouts every day, you aren't *really* free to go anywhere.
That's why I hate the kind of false opposition that there has been for quite a while in American political discourse between freedom and safety: you're always technically free to do anything. But if doing it isn't safe, then are you really free to do it?
@@antonioscendrategattico2302 It all depends on the definitions. But the distinction between positive and negative freedom is an established concept among philosophers and political scientists. Perhaps I didn't explain it too well; English isn't my first language.
The main lack of freedom is caused by ourselves, getting into debt is unnecessary but too many are sold on the American dream and living beyond their means. For the record I know no one who has to pay $10k out of pocket for child birth nor anyone who works 3 jobs, and I'm by no means a high earner.
@@sugarwaterpurple5280 Yawn. If all this "muh personal responsibility" twaddle were true, we wouldn't see the kind of massive society-wide transfers of wealth upward as a direct consequence to certain policies that began in the eighties. If the vast majority of the population supposedly can't be trusted to make choices that give them good outcomes in the system, the problem is the system, not the population. Or would you have us believe that for inexplicable reasons, the humans who lived in the postwar boom were just that much smarter and hard workier than those of today?
@@antonioscendrategattico2302 Yes, there are definitely problems with the system. And yes, most don't make choices that give them favorable outcomes. Because two things can be true at the same time. Unfortunately most, like you, would rather blame everything on "the system" instead of being accountable for your actions and choices.
The US and Russia have so much in common where they seem clueless as to what's happening in the rest of the world.
But I think a change could happen sooner in Russia. I think some of the leadership itself is afraid of making changes and increasing taxes. Back then, something like this had already led to the War of Independence. But doing nothing is not a solution either and it will only get worse
I've done some research out of pure curiosity and I was shocked to see just how much modern day America has in common with the former Soviet Union. Just look up the working hours. So far the only major difference I've seen (though I'm sure there's more) is the fact that America is able to maintain its uber-rich appearance because it's home to so many corporations.
Beg to disagree: US citizens mostly don't care to know what's going on outside the US (and not much within it either), whilst many in Russia are willing to learn but are denied access to some information by the government.
Btw, Russia is the most highly educated country on earth.
@@curtisthomas2670 Hi thanks this wasn't meant to be a dig at Russian citizens just the irony of it , it seems that that americans are brainwashed from an early age to believe they're the best so what's the point in looking elsewhere. Different methods same result I guess, all about control by rich and powerful people.
only different ruskies lie to themselves, even if they know what's happening in rest of the world.
americans, ignorancy is blessing. they just don't care about whats happening rest of the world. or even whats happening outside of their home state.
Absolutely I'm an American and its shameful. The American dream is a joke. It's more like a nightmare.
It's only a dream for a very few Americans.
The American Dream packed it's bags and moved to Europe at the late '60s. Sorry about that and greetings from Finland, happiest country in the world for 5th time in a row 🙂
As someone once said,you’d HAVE to asleep to believe the American dream,and as Al Murray said,we don’t have a British dream,because……WE’RE AWAKE !!
Wake up American people.
@@TheCornishCockney George Carlin
I am soooo sorry for you guys, I really am. Here in Europe we are very aware we have better lives. Maybe less rockets and military stuff, but everybody has free healthcare, schooling, payed days off. It does not matter of you are rich, poor. We all have the same rights. Poor in Europe is nothing like being poor in the USA I am afraid. People in the USA are brainwashed that socialism is a dirty thing. Well social, the counterpart is ANTO social and that is exactly what you see in the USA. People who are rich pay a bit more taxes, but it won't hurt them. People who just can't effort it, don't have to. Not to make them lazy, because they are being pushed to schooling or finding a job. But we want those people to participate in our country as well, in stead oh generations living in poorness and violence like in USA ghettos's in cities. Poor children go to the same schools as "rich" children, they study together and it makes us aware that we all matter.
With the 2 party system in your country (we have more tan 40 political parties and coalitions have to be made to reign for 4 years) it will never change I am afraid. Democrats don't give a shit either about the people.
The wars, started by almighty USA, often without permission and mandate, caused huge immigration waves from Islamic countries from Asia, and Africa towards Europe. I am talking about 100 millions of immigrants. We are being flooded but all these people receive free healthcare, scholing, money to spend a month and housing. Are we happy with it? NO. But we can't leave these people without food before our borders. it would be nice if the USA stopped those fucking, inhumane and expensive wars all over the world and invest that money in their poor people and healthcaresystem. And your Vets, because they are treated like shit and that hurts me terrible.
Again, I am sorry. But freedom is what we have in Europe. We have full freedom of speech. I can say the king is a motherfucker and be a full member of our free society.
You people that do the reaction videos of all types have to be congratulated .You are an educating force ,even when the videos are depressingly near the uncomfortable truth, it is important that people see this and can start to question what they have been told.
I hope that was an eye opener for every american that you deserve better!! and I thought Greece had it rough, heck we are like dubai compared to the average american.
Croatia as well xD In Europe we are seen on the poorer side of the chart but compared to the US ...heck I am really happy to be European. Also I wouldnt change it for anything. Yes, Croatia as well as the entire Europe has still room for improvement but no one here has to fear to go bankrupt because you need medical care.
I feel sad for all the lies all the Americans are being told by both part of the government.As an English person I complain about our government but it is nothing compared with the evils the American government commits against its own people. Most people here know they will be taken care of if they become unemployed or sick. The difference between the poor and the rich in America is so huge. I’m so glad I don’t live there!
Easy enough to quip about Boris Johnsson. America is hovering right on the line where there is no more humour to be found, just tradgedy.
Bill.........................we are SO GLAD TOO!
I've been trying to save to move from America to England for a few years. I'm done with the moronic life here.
@@aaronjanusch6090 Do you mean England or Britain or the UK? There are 4 countries that make up this nation (edit: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and each has it's great places and history and it's places to try to avoid. I hope you make it over here but try to avoid London as it's ridiculously expensive for housing (rent/mortgage), has the most polluted streets in the UK (and most of Europe) and is only really friendly if you are a tourist because that means more money to line their pockets with.
@@Thurgosh_OG Thanks! I'm looking at different places in England... so far lol. I saw that London is really expensive. I'm looking for somewhere a little smaller and affordable to live. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm a working class guy/aspiring author (one book published), and I don't require fancy things to be happy haha. Thank you for the information on London! I hope you're having a great day! 🤘😁🤘!
Its good to see the trues.. Don't despair.
If more people see video's like this you can start to plan another future.
Its your generation who can turn the bad and the evil in something good.
Stay possitive!!
After watching a few of your previous videos, this one really hit different for you just by looking at your face, you didn't even have to put it in words. The best thing to do now is not to keep this info to yourself. Tell your American friends, family, acquaintances, show them this video, make them share it further. I think America can do it, I don't know if I live to see it (I'm mid-thirties) but I hope it does. It's gonna be tough, probably gonna touch the rock bottom. Birthing pains and all that.
This discrepancy between claim and reality is probably the main reason for all the ridicule the US has to endure.
Exactly that, especially against the type of Americans that go around loudlyboasting that the US is the number one in everything.
Which is so easy to disprove that even a kindergarten kid has no problem with that.
Yet those demented, brainwashed fools won't even accept the facts, and continue chanting "USA, USA, USA" to drown out any objections.
Fortunately many Americans are waking up to the reality like our honest host on this channel.
i totally agree why unfortunately most of the world knows americans when they see them and freely laugh about america though me personally feel so ashamed of the human race in America
I've said it once, I'll say it a hundred times: for an almost equal income (I was a full-time teacher in France, for years, and now I am a Ph.D. graduate student in the US), I pay DOUBLE the taxes I paid in France, for little to no social security. And the cost of living is way higher in my area than almost anywhere in France.
Don't misunderstand me: I'm VERY grateful for the opportunities I am offered in America but open your eyes: low to middle-income households pay more taxes than they would in "socialist" countries, and they don't get the benefits of a socialist system!
I feel bad for the American people when their government & hospitals etc don't care for the citizens that they treat & govern. Hospital is seen as a business rather than a care facility. So why charge the citizens of America tax when it's not used to help those citizens who pay it, that's crazy. In life, you can be desensitized to everyday situations until it's pointed out in detail, then it opens your eyes to make you think & realise that what you're lead to believe is all a lie.
It wasn't the American people who did this. It was big business, just look up the Powell Memo in the 1970s and the supreme court cases that followed and made money in politics legal.
@@autohmae I didn't say Americans did it, I said hospitals & government.

Some Americans seem so unaware of everything he brought up in the video. Everybody else (outside the US) sees this but it’s sometimes difficult to talk about it. I really do love America, I always have, but it sounds like you hate it when you try bringing these things up in a conversation about why the US actually is behind a lot of other countries. I don’t hate. It makes me profoundly sad seeing all this and so many Americans not seeing it. It’s difficult to understand the hang up on socialism Americans have. Like it’s a bad thing 🤷♀️. It’s not even a word anyone but Americans use. “Socialist” systems is just a normal thing in these countries. From the bottom of my heart, I really wish things get better in the US. I wish you had what I have. ❤️ I hope I didn’t offend anyone, I don’t mean to.
It's difficult to talk about it if you are an american ally. Everywhere else (the third world) america is detested and seen as life threatening, since they seem to loot, bomb and overthrow democracies without guilt, knowledge or justice in any way shape or form.
@@RESTITVTOR_TOTIVS_HISPANIAE What allies say publicly is very different from what is said privately. The US lost it's veneer a long time ago where allies are concerned.

@@RESTITVTOR_TOTIVS_HISPANIAE In all honesty we don't want America to do bad. If you guys eff up the whole world's economy goes fubar. Just give up the soviet fear and embrace social democracy already. It just works better than your weird two party system where the electoral college can just do whatever they want. Also get all that money out of politics. It's just disturbing. Why are all your politicians millionaires while you have a homeless problem?
@@0Quiwi0 I'm no american. And no, you cannot take money out of politics in a capitalist society. And no, social democracy isn't going to save anything, it's baby capitalism. It still has the same negative impact on the whole world. You first world privileged people only think of the good of what happens in your borders without caring for whatever bull your government does to others. Stop peddling that stupid neocolonial system. And maybe not you, but most people find america abhorrent and want it destroyed because that's what it did to their countries without any repercussion or justice. The strong can get away with anything.

Your silence was extremly powerful...said more than a thousand words😳
Ignorance as they say is bliss, knowing the truth hurts so much. I feel your pain, so sorry but at least you know now.
We don’t have to move away!!!!!! We can change it!!!!!!!!!! We must!!!!!!!! We MUST!!!!!!!!!
I finally subbed. Bravo to you!!!!!!!!!!
The one thing I've noticed is how you are learning, I wish all Americans would, I love America, but despair on how flag waving loon buckets they are slowly becoming and a total ignorance of the world outside of America and believing they are the greatest and most free , when the opposite is becoming more true ☹️
The thing is, most people are too poor to visit outside the US. There are those in power who want people ignorant because it helps keep them in power. People in certain groups and parts of the country are spoon fed nationalism from birth with a heaping helping of religion for good measure.
I had a religious upbringing that had me going to church and a Christain school. I was brainwashed into thinking that America was the best country in the world. I have happened to work my way free of that thinking over time. Some never have the opportunity to escape. Their whole life is tied to religion/country. Here, the two are not really differentiated from each other.
Everyone else is considered godless heathens who are headed down the path of destruction. It is all just... Sigh! It just feels hopeless to change people's minds.
Please, do not despair.
The US is such a wonderful country with wonderful people.
But face it: You won't get change, if you stay in your 2-party-system. Because your 2 parties do not need to compromise anymore. They just block nowadays, beyond reason. Research your candidates, if they do not support your needs, look for other candidates - and if it is a green candidate, then be it - and talk to the people around you. Act. There are so many especially young middle-class people who actually care, because they see that they will sooner or later suffocate in the costs that result by this "free marked regulates everythin" BS.
Please, make America the country of our (foreign) dreams again. Your poor are too busy surviving that they cannot speak up anymore.
The are liberal options like Bernie Sanders but "muricans" are so brainwashed that majority of them don't even recognize what's best for them. I mean, name any other 1st word country that would've voted a cartoon character like Donald Trump for president? No fucking way that would have happened
Both Parties want to keep the status quo, on important votes when the dems have power there will always be enough Dem outliers who will vote with the GOP to stop any policies that would benefit the working class. Money and religion dominates politics and until that changes nothing changes and why politicians just won't let go of their golden egg. Trump the most ungodly person that ever lived pandered to the Bible Belt and the GOP will push the abortion lobby to gain votes, not to bring people out of poverty but to deprive woman sanctity of their own bodies.
I'm Icelandic but I live in Denmark and what you're hearing in these reaction videos are true. When I was pregnant with my son I was diagnosed with extreme pre-eclampsia so I had to be hospitalized for 5 days until I had to get acute c-section to get the baby out so we wouldn't both die (saw you question c-section in a video, yes it's where they cut the belly open to get the baby out). We then had to stay in the hospital for 6 weeks because my son was born 2 months early and had to get special care. I did not have to open my wallet at any point during this. I stayed there for free, I got hot meals multiple times a day and if I was hungry I could ask for a snack. I have never been asked to pay when I need to go to the doctor, there's a ceiling for how much I have to spend on medication a year and if I reach it they stop charging for the rest of the year. I'm mentally ill and unable to work and I get payments from the government to help me survive. Though I don't qualify for full payments here in Denmark so I get the rest covered by Iceland. When we try to tell Americans about it we're usually met with scepticsm and accusations of being payed trolls. It's so ingrained in Americans that socialism is bad that they don't see what capitalism is doing to their country (some socialism is bad ofc and some communism is aswell but it's not inherently evil). I hope you're doing alright and that you have a chance to visit Europe at some point :)
"The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it." -- George Carlin
Glad to see you're waking up; it's the only way America will change for the better.
Americans really need to rise up
We can't afford too. We leave our jobs to protest and we get fired. We try to unionize, we get fired. We even ask for raises and risk getting fired.
@@jaybirdjargon If you collectively all did it at the same time..........
We have numerous benefits in Europe which you don't have. It's been a struggle, and a bloody one at times. In the UK membership of a Union was banned for a while, but the desire for better conditions inspired us. That's what Mike S means.
Change can and does happen. It takes determination and a collective will to achieve it. I'll whisper it quietly, but it's called socialism.
The one thing you find that grates on most of the world about America is their continual talk of money, profit, status, no one else is bothered how much you earn ...yawn!!!
I felt your pain my friend. It's a case of getting your Tax Dollars back in the form of public services, including healthcare. That's the reason you pay tax. Where is all that tax money going !
Military
War on drugs, war on terror, war on socialism etc. etc.
Your tax money is going towards weapons. And yet you keep losing wars
on war
Just war.And the desire to take over other countries and put military bases on them.But not too good at war either. Korea,Vietnam,Iraq(false flag by America),Afghanistan, Syria(abandoned allies).WW1 & WW11 didn't help until the "Lusitania" was sunk and Pearl Harbour bombed.And they spruik that THEY WON THOSE WARS.Egotistical liars,but unfortunately our country is an ally and our soldiers are getting killed in Americas stupid wars.
Do you remember a few weeks back when you laughed at a girl who described America as 'a third world country in a Gucci belt' . Do you see now what she was saying?
I saw a lot of your reaction videos. I never saw you so speachless like in this one. I think that this really touched you.
Bro im almost cried... thanks for this videos man, i learn a lot im from switzerland. I did know america has a lot of problem but didnt know it was that bad. For me it doesnt matter where people come from im an human i want all human to be happy like me. So yeah, this video was emotional for me... but like you said for the right reason. We need to have clarity not the feeling we know what is going on we need the facts even if it hurts.
I love your videos because you are real man, you are smart and you want to learn about the world like i want to do. We are all living on this beautiful planet and we all should take care of each other and be nice.

Be friendly, complimenting people, giving money to people in need, helping some old woman carry the groceries, just small things but they add up over years. 🙏
People need to educate themselves, because the government will not. This is true in every nation. Too much knowledge means less in their pockets. I'm sorry that you now know what the rest of the world already knew. It's hard watching and it's not like you can just leave either. It's not that easy. Peace ✌️
You're wrong about the part where you say that the govt. in every nation won't educate people, they absolutely will in loads of nations. But it does show just how damaged the US has made you.

@@DaltonKY08 Thinking their country is perfect is a very uniqely american thing, in most countries criticizing the govt. is close to a national pastime. But if your background is a country where the narrative is and has for decades been that it's the greatest nation, it's understandable to think that that's how it is around the world. Go around most of the world and ask people if their country is perfect or even just the best, you'll be hard put to find even one, at most you'll find opinions like doing alright, and it could be a lot worse.
These videos are not saying that USA is a bad country.. these just tell that America could do so much better.
Did you watch the video? Maybe you didn't pick up the references they used, in which they compared the USA to a number of 3rd world countries. These countries were among the worst examples in each discipline, and the US turned out to be worse. Maybe they should have provided a top tier list, to actually show viewers, how deep down the USA in most of these examples actually is.
I remember that for some time in polish TV we had an advertising for an organisation helping starving and homeless children in the USA, it was really sad to see
Let that sink in.. Richest country in the worl is asking handouts from a country that was only 32 years ago behind the Communist Iron Curtain... Wow
Well, he got not everything right, I think none of the Northern European (including the Scandinavian countries) would refer to themselves as socialist countries, they only have socialist aspects, that is not the same.
Social Democrats are normal political parties in these Northern European countries and they are pretty much in the middle of the political spectrum in these countries.
Many would say these countries are: social democracies.

I live in Wales, the western country of the UK. I’ve had reasonably good health bur I developed type 2 diabetes. If I lived in the US I wouldn’t afford the cost of care. I paid for the NHS through my taxes, now I’m retired I still pay some tax. However, my hyper-tension tablets, insulin, doctor and hospital visits are all free, To get new prescriptions I give my doctor's “repeat” script to my pharmacist. I then pick it up two days later after the doctors has approved.
I’ve paid in my taxes. Nobody here would ever call this “Socialised Healthcare”. For my diabetes I get 2 check-ups per year by a specialist doctor, an annual photographic retinopathy check of my eyes, several kidney specialist checks at hospital. The diabetes specialists gave me three courses on insulin, carbohydrates etc in the meeting rooms of local health premises, each complete with a book valued at $30. again this comes out of the NHS, it’s classed as prevention, the more prevention the less they spend in pure economical terms.
You are now at a cross roads in your life. It's up to you now my friend. What you do with this information, how you live with it, and how you come to turms with it. I don't envy you, I do wish you luck in what you decide. All the best to you
If you watch this and take it on board you won't become "Woke", you will become "*AWAKE*"!
Michael More made a movie about capitalism and “sicko” a movie about healthcare and because he’s a democrat, 99.99999% of republicans will never watch those movies.
His movies are great and informative and all true.
Nothing has changed since they came out.
Maybe you could do a reaction to sicko.
I agree! Im from sweden, i watched that movie when it came out many years ago. I had no idea that was a reality in the US and i couldn't understand how on earth the citizens are allowing these atrocities to happen to them..
@@marisabel5500 I still have relatives in Sweden.
A friend was a personal chef to movie stars in Los Angeles. You would recognize their names. Her last few jobs were for TV Christian pastors and…drumroll…healthcare CEOs. She was paid a very high salary with benefits and perks and never had to wash a dish. There were other employees for that.
It demonstrates that the healthcare middlemen are enjoying their multi-million dollar salaries. Why should they give up scamming the American public? Regular people are not informed here. They watch tv canned news and mostly entertainment. A huge segment of the population can’t afford college and university. I never could afford a college degree although I took years of college and was an avid reader.
Actually Michael had to cut parts of his movie, because - the level of welfare in Scandinavia would not be believed in USoA
@@i.m.7710 Yes i don't expect the rich to care or let a bit of their wealth go. But for everyone who actually know the truth, do you guys spread that truth? Do you inform other people to look up information? I know some people won't let go of the made up-american pride, but don't sit around and wait for people to notice. Just show them examples! Do something.
I can feel your pain from my livingroom in Sweden, bro. I mean, our system isn't perfect in ANY way and needs sooo much repair and quite frankly complete change, but gods, the mere thought that anyone, being it an innocent kid or the worst of our criminals, being deprived of essential healthcare like insulin or a necessary surgery due to lack of money is just... unheard of.
It's undignified of any developed country to allow a system like yours and I feel for you.
This reminds me again of the video from Call me Armstrong in which she compares the medical costs of her treatment of a brain tumor in Germany and the US. I highly recommend it.
I think we were all a bit quite watching this with you 🥺💕
You are doing a great job! I know it can be very hard to see the world around you crumbling - the home you grew up in, people (politicians for example) you believed in etc.... I hope you will see this as something liberating and empowering. Because you can do the best you can to make this world a better place. Some time in the future at least. Good luck! And thank you for these videos as you have opened my eyes in some aspects, too. :)
You're learning, my dude. It's hard to watch you hurting, but good to you growing as a result.
The only thing left to ask is: Now that you're becoming aware of the problems, how do you see yourself trying to make things better?
Remember, it's completely reasonable to take a break from these kinds of video's if it becomes too much. They can burn you out. They are important if you want to learn about the US, but there is a limit to how much reality anyone can handle.
When I was in the US I saw somebody with a clubfoot. I even saw 2!! Something you read about in stories from the middle ages.
there is also an american series where a dermatologist treats everything i think is called dr. pimple or something like that. Something like that would be unthinkable in Europe that something like this would go untreated.
Kudos to you! You are absolutely fearless in your pursuit of education. I admire that! Hugs from Sweden!
Yeah, being just over the border in Canada I really worry about my American neighbours and how they're doing, but the stigma of being poor means a lot of them act like "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" and they vote to better the lifestyle they think they'll have while screwing themselves and all their peers over.

Man, man, man, I feel sorry for you. It really is a terrible image of the USA. I see a lot of videos of American expats who come to Europe and absolutely don't want to go back. Yes, for a vacation (suddenly having enough days for it) or visiting relatives in the US.
I have been to the US a number of times. A beautiful country, but the governance system is not good. The country has gone too far in its own capitalism. A form between socialism and capitalism as in Europe makes life so much more pleasant for the citizens. And freedom? Ah, the much-praised freedom that Americans would have, we really have here too :-)
Who sang freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose......In a sence thats true so i be rather be less free and have some more.
You don't have freedom there. If you say the wrong thing you can be jailed. If someone attacks you on the street you can't legally defend yourself.
@@cyclone8974 You mean that in the Netherlands you are not allowed to defend on the street if you are attacked? Or am I not understanding you correctly.
In the Netherlands you can always defend yourself if you are attacked. You may, as it is properly called, use proportional force to defend yourself. I've done Krav Maga and know very well how to defend myself somewhat. I've just never been in a situation where that was necessary. That may say enough.
And in the Netherlands you can say anything you want. We are really free in that. You really don't get jailed if you say the wrong thing. How did you come up with that?
@@cyclone8974 - Yes, we do have freedom here. The only speech that will get you jailed is hate speech against groups of people or when you try to incite violence. We believe that your freedom ends where you infringe upon the freedom of others.
The latter which you said, is rubbish. Ofcourse we are allowed to defend ourselves. What we are not allowed to do is shoot someone for stepping on our front lawn. Since we believe the violence you use should be proportional to the situation.
@@cyclone8974 ...naturally you are allowed to defend yourself. Not that you actually need it, since the crime rates tend to be waaaaay lower than in the us.
I’m sorry this is such a bitter pill to swallow I really feel for you sending you much love and prayers for a better fairer future.
I really love you way of putting things and reacting to it, I heard so many Americans say stuff like "It is good, that we are like this, this will build you up to make something out of yourself!!" and it is just astonishing how brainwasehd so many are to even glamorise that...
Nice choice to watch this video, I think this might have been the one that made me realize how bad the US is.
I mean i definitely woudnt say bad but more like it isnt in the top of the best countries to live in, you are still extremely lucky if you live there
@@pxcs7559 I’m not saying that it is extremely bad, what I’m saying is we could have things a lot better
Funny enough, before that video there was the movie "Where To Invade Next" by Michael Moore, which pretty much explains and shows all exactly this information and way more, with a lot of videos and feedback of actual Europeans and other Foreigners about their life. But somehow people in US don't trust Michael Moore, and so from the left and the right people ignored him. Well, as a European I can say that everything he said in this movie about Europe is true.
The USA is no longer the richest country in the world. Also has an incredible amount of debt although not the highest in the world.
But it seems that the US is the only country on the disc that can keep on printing new money without any problems.
Altough the EU seems to be to long to close with the US and did the same, we see the massive inflation happening now.
Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Things that are normal in Germany (and across Europe)
1. Free Healthcare, free medicinal products (You pay for it with your income taxes, which is in total between 20 and 45%)
1.1. All kids are automatically covered by the insurance of their parents
2. Free Education (All public schools and Universities are totally free and you usually get free public transport and other benefits, like cheaper prices at the cinema and so on)
3. You are protected by law to get fired from your job, 24 days off are minimum and sickdays are on top and covered from the health insurance and 35-40 hours a week are considered full time
4. Minimum wage is at $13 which you can really live from. Noone has to starve or freeze
5. If you earn to less or are unemployed you are covered from the social system with enough money to not have to starve
6. You even get up to 1 year of 65% payment of your previous job, if you get fired. Covered from insurance which is included in the tax you pay (as stated in 1.)
And now tell my that America is the greates Country in the world? The very only thing you are best in is killed people by gun shots.
Props to you for looking over the fence. You do have a bunch of problems but as long as America has a lot of good people like you then change can happen. Part of the problem is, of course, the Constitution itself which is a brake on change, but knowing and understanding what’s going wrong is always the first and most important thing before change can happen. Keep up the good work!
I could laugh because of all of the times you have seen videos of Americans telling you how treatment was free or a few euros while abroad, you would comment "only after I see it for myself", you didn't believe those people, all of them no matter how many, and yet because you have seen this person on television before and he used animations, you believed what he was saying, sad that we pick and choose who we believe, but when the person we choose tells us what we have been hearing from many others it hurts doesn't it, don't feel too bad, you are now armed with the information that you needed, use it to good effect while you are still young, too many people keep putting that off and before they know it they are too old or worse they are too broke because they became ill and are now too poor to do anything about it, just because they became ill.
Bless you for trying and not burying you head in the sand, you have a good heart and I sincerely hope the USA gets a healthcare system like our NHS.
Don't get down on yourself young man,fight for change.....it may not help you,but hopefully it will help those who come along after. Good luck.🍻 from Australia.
The Gravel Institute is incredible for perspectives on America (it gets things wrong about other countries a lot). If you can handle more videos from them, I highly recommend.
Either way, thank you for not giving up on your thirst for knowledge despite what you've found so far. You're not alone in your journey.
I'm in the UK. There must be a way of changing the laws regarding US health care and working practices. Surely something can be done ?
something can be done, it's actually very easy, but due to the fact that those in power never want to relinquish that power, and strive to keep gaining power nothing will ever change because if the Us government enacted laws that provided a universal healthcare system similar to that of any nation on earth with such a system, it would make 'big pharma' obsolete, if they introduced laws for fair workers rights, then the government would loose all the backhand money they get from the various corporations who keep people as pseudo slaves, not to mention if fair labour laws were enacted, a huge proportion of businesses in the US would go bankrupt and the fallout from that would cause a catastrophic meltdown of economies around the world due to the strain on financial sectors.
i'm british born and bred, but one of the things i studied at school for my A-levels ~15 years ago was the economics of the US, and while i think their way of life is abhorrent in the extreme, it's unfortunately at a point now where it needs to exist because if it is changed too quickly, it would actually cause a lot of the world to collapse, which obviously is not a desired outcome so while it might be a painful process it's something that needs to be reversed very slowly over a long period of time, likely many lifetimes in order to try to avoid some of the catastrophic side effects of undoing the many problems the US has.
Most of my fellow Americans are brainwashed. The republicans and trump’s base are brainwashed and hypnotized and believe in conspiracy theories to the max. Those people are lost and need mental health help.
Another large portion work in the medical field and like their $120,000 to $250,000 a year pay.

It's ironic that the 'American dream' can only be found in other countries, especially Canada
So glad I live in "communist", "socialist", "nazi", "no freedom having", "woke" Netherlands. The indoctrination/propaganda/brainwashing of the US population has almost reached North Korea levels. "You live in the best country in the world don't look anywhere else, all other countries are worse.". It's so sad... I'd almost say get out while you can! But the US system also ensures that people can't get away by keeping them poor and always struggling to get to the next day. Not able to afford moving or migrating...
The US government financially abuses its citizens who do not live in the US by requiring income tax and massive reporting requirements from them and all who deal with them financially. So while the US arguably has serious domestic issues, it also intentionally makes it difficult for Americans to seek employment and engage in any business anywhere else. The US government is deeply sick. The US is basically a trap and citizenship is the tool they use to make sure people can't escape.
Actually, we have enough foreigners to deal with in Europe at the moment. And the tax thing ?… I’m not shure thats right, I havn’t heard about any us citisens paying tax to US while in Denmark.
@@kille7543 It is correct. The US government requires income tax from ALL US citizens and green card-holders no matter where they live in the world, even if they move to Denmark and never set foot in the US again. It is one of only 2 countries in the world to do this, the other being a dictatorship called Eritrea. The US also forces foreign banks and companies to report on all interactions with US citizens and threatens to freeze their assets if they don't comply. Many banks around the world have closed accounts for Americans. Americans usually can't invest and properly prepare for retirement if they don't live in the US. Around the world, US embassies have waiting lists for appointments to renounce US citizenship. Having US citizenship can destroy a person's life if they don't live in the US. Getting turned down for jobs, bank accounts closed, denied for mortgages, inability to find business partners...some people refuse to marry Americans because they get dragged into this too.

If the USA is the richest country in the world, it's only because the country allows companies to pay their employees the least amount of pay, so of course they 'seem' to be the richest country but in fact they are one of the poorest.
Paying decent wages won't make the country poorer, it will just mean more people will have a share.
McDonald told when asked that if they pay their employees more than minimum wage, they would be out of business. This shit came from company that in 2020 raked in 13 billion dollars 🤣🤣
The United Kingdom is governed, at the moment by the Conservative Party, which is our equivalent of your Republicans, but our State still looks after the people far more than yours. Unlike your Government ours has a duty of care to it's people.
I see something wrote on a wall near a bus stop when I was young ... these two sentences were burnt in my heart since then. It applies for so many things in our modern world, and not only for the "happy and free" people of US.
"You are free to believe that you are stupid, but you are stupid to believe that you are free"
"A third world country in a Gucci belt" as one woman said on a similar video.
Don't despair too much, all your money goes to a few super rich people and into your military, at least you will die happy knowing you have more bombs, tanks, planes, battleships than anyone!...and you can put super rich individuals into space for a bit of self privileged fun!! 🤣 🤷
I so hope the american people can make some real changes to benefit the lives of all americans and not just for the super rich!!! I understand that you feel gutted right now. I hope by spreading these vidoes and raising awareness that the people can begin to see the truth! And no, probably nobody here in Denmark would say that they hate our "socialist" economy and all the benefits we have fought so hard to get.
The system can only be changed if money in politics is defeated. A now systemic problem only getting worse.
@@autohmae It will never change. Too many rich people want the system to be for them and fuck the rest.
first they have to accept that the opposite of socialism is ANTI socialism. That is exactly what happens in the USA. Socialism is not communisme. It is a political system where people take care of each other and the widest strongest shoulders carry the most. And even than they can be nicely filthy rich.
@@monicacarolina6480 I would rather describe it as a plutocracy
....ha! let's see...6 million in Denmark.....................330 million in USA......................get the point? sure you do.
First of all I just want to say how watching people like yourself , from around the world reacting and learning about other cultures and countries is inspiring. It's definitely spurred me to do the same.
Yes, I'm British. Yes our history is littered with atrocities, flaws, and our government and country is not perfect. Being from Yorkshire I get how anyone can, will and should feel pride and joy in their country/ region or culture.
I feel so proud and thankful for our NHS and working rights that we have. And in many respects security that for some nations is just a dream. My heart goes out to Americans from the US. Mostly due to so many being blinkered from the truth they are living. And no I personally would have no desire to live there.
I'm just always baffled by how an American citizen can go on and on about how "free* they are. When from what I see, hear, read and from friends experiences, the shackles of being devoted to insurance companies, and big corporations is terrifying to me. As are we all in developed countries, but the US more than most.
I love your videos man.
I can feel through the screen how much it hit you… I have the chance here, in France, to be free and not to worry about education and doctor/hospital costs. I highly hope you will one day too have this chance, either by going to Europe to live there or by waiting that American system changes. I hope your country will get better…
I felt so sad watching this. While growing up in 80's and 90's, I wanted to so much to live in America one day because I admired it so much. Most of teens I knew did. Now, as an adult, I wouldn't want to live there even if I was paid to do so. It's really heartbreaking. Still, warm greetings from Finland. I really do love your videos and I hope you can visit our country some day.
I want to give you a hug! What I love about your reaction videos is how I see the development in your thinking. I can see that through education your mind is opening up.
There are a lot of problems in my country of Hungary. However, what I appreciate is that when my mum had cancer she had immediate and firm medical response. I was in uni - also free - and she was on medical pension because she also has severe Rheumatoid arthritis. Our only income was her pension. I have no idea how we would have afforded her chemo, her radiation, meds to protect her heart, the surgery. It was a year of hell that we went through together with very little support as most of her family was gone by then and my father's an ahole. If we have had to worry about bills... I don't know if she would have made it. I don't know if I would have made it, because I was struggling with severe depression. That thought scares me and it makes me feel so awful for the people in the US who may be going through the same thing.
Once I dreamed of living in the US. My mum lived there for a few years in the 80s and she loved it so much. Growing up, I thought I was going to move to the US one day. I don't want to anymore and I'm glad that none of my efforts succeeded.
Its sadly getting worse here. I love my country but am terribly ashamed of it. People seem to care more about granting people the freedom to make astronomical profits, no matter how corrupt the mean, than granting people the freedom of getting the necessary health treatment they deserve. Our healthcare system is a massive joke, an not a funny one.
Yeah, you got the message! And it hurts big time!
Yeah, felt for you as this one seemed to cut through your denial and really hit home. When you don't know any other way and this is how it's always been, it's really difficult to fathom alternatives. Plus, there is little hope for the US turning things around just because so many Americans have this notion that any other approach is "unAmerican". As an outsider, seeing villages of homeless people in the "richest country in the world" and hearing that your healthcare system operates purely for profit is frustrating and sad.
The problem is socialism, yes full on socialism is bad but some social welfare programs are important. Social welfare is what the rest of the world uses not socialism. america needs to stop looking at anything government provided as socialism. I can earn a decent wage and pay high taxes and still never pay asmuch as a American hospital bill.
Do not confuse socialism with social democracy.
Good reaction. The facts upset you. That means you start seeing the world through different eyes. That's a good step in the right direction. Go on!
My mum who had a brain tumour removed paid nothing cos she was British, the aftercare was good too. My American sister also had a brain tumour and lost everything…
What you have to do is not to go away but to make it work for the people around you, starting from your neighborhood, turning the trapping "deam of greatness" to a more grounded "dream of peacefulness" where the little things have value.
Just start to shift what you're funding: from junk food to a healtier diet (it's not expensive if you don't eat fancy things)
And shift who you're cheering for: from the too busy/too aggressive hustlers to people with good intentions/ good manners/ who are willing and happy to give to society.
It may seem a stupid thing, but when we had our firsts and longest lockdowns in Italy, my family invited the neighbors to our back yard.
We are in a suburb kind of situation so we have some space outside and the difference between our garden and other's is that we love nature so in the past years we planted fruit trees, flowers, we made 3 ponds with lilies, fishes and frogs, and it end up being a labirynth to discover.
We stayed locked in the house, looking down to our neighbors who, one family at time, took their kids for a walk in our garden just to breath fresh air, to have something different to do, to not 'feel trapped' for a while.
I've never imagined how heavily important it is to be surrounded by something peaceful, beautiful, diversified, until the moment we were the only ones to own the access to it. And so we shared.
People often travel to find peace, hunt to find beauty...but they forget to build it up where they already are, through focus and generational work.
The best life possible should be around you, not elsewhere.
Pushing at a closed door.
They have been conditioned into believing the lies their successive governments have fed them so think that the rest of the world are uncivilised savages and they are the only “free” people.
There are more guns in the average American household than fresh vegetables.
You are eating yourselves,lemmings on a mission to keep the bloated 1% in the lifestyle they demand and believe is their right.
You have a very long way to go.
So why is America “great”…… just because were told it is?
Such a depressive and heart breaking vlog. I sympathize with you big time mate! I really do...
You're a good guy! Keep it up!
