      No sure tbh, Nordic would be an example where capitalist regime feels compelled to provide social stability to keep their mostly homogeneous plebs in line but these people have solidarity among themselves so they would flip out otherwise. They are also smaller

      France seems to be another example. Singapore is efficient also.

      With that being good EU style governance is bring eroded too. Look at Sweden the liberal darling.

      Excess immigration backfired but I think that was socially engineering by Swedish owner class so they can erode the power to of the state and its ability to deliver social policy. Either way, it Sweden is regressing into the direction as US and UK now although way behind and slower

      Global capital has gotten brazen, they are colluding among themselves.

      TLDR short of ww2 style event with a big dick daddy like FDR, the current trend is not reversible.

      The Nepo baby regime controls all of the institutions for making policy, private and public. Best peasant can is win small W to be pacified. Police will be designed for the benefit of people who control us. We have no infrastructure to fight back in any meaningful way besides being a discerning consumer and voting third party to dent the regime legitimacy.

      The whole DNC ramming kamala is just ex-maple 48474 that working within the two party system is counter productive exercise for most w2 wage slaves.

      You are not opposing shit voting for either regime whore. Going into opposition requires mental and life style changes.

      Most people can’t be bothered to stop eating fast food even though they know it is “mostly” food, same thing with other aspects of life.

      I ain’t gonna shit on peasants but if we can’t help ourselves, why would the rich do it for us?

        Singapore? You ever been there? There’s a saying, "Singapore is a fine city, you get fined for this, you get fined for that. "

        They have a 6 day work week.

        When I was there a guy made a mistake and left the back of the dump truck up and drove into a bridge causing some damage and traffic jam. They put his face on the cover of the newspaper with a title that said, “This man backed up traffic for hours!”

        My mother had a friend there. Her camera was stolen so she went to the police. They kept her there for hours until she admitted she lost her camera, so it would look like there was less crime there.

        Efficient? Maybe. But no thanks.

        And didn’t France just outlaw women wearing hijabs to the beach?

          We have homeless people littering the streets, a failed healthcare system with increasing infant mortality among other indicators, critical infrastructure failing…

          But I guess we got freedom? But we do know that we aint got is any policy without any sensibleness of common sense, facts peak for themselves.

          Do you live in the US? because this is what our pigs do:

            I never said ANYTHING about the US in my post. I’m merely pointing out that Singapore may not be the best example to use as a counterpoint.

              Singapore has proper socio economic policy with a bit of heavy handed handling of civil issues.

              US has inadequate socio economic policy backed up by idiots with guns that result in frequent unwarranted shooting of citizens.

              WORST OF BOTH WORLDS.

              US could learn a thing or two from SG

                Why do you keep talking about the US in response to me. I’m not arguing that. But saying that an apple is bad doesn’t make an orange good.

                That’s an analogy. Oranges are awesome.
