The true actual ideological divide:right vs wrong aka truth vs fake, change my mind

Sadly, I don't have the specific breakout for Norway specifically, but pretending the tax stats are true, this averages away a progressive tax system in the US and a regressive tax system in Norway.

On average, a Norwegian has 3 fewer minutes of "paid work or study" and 11 fewer minutes of "unpaid work" per day than an American. That's 15 minutes per day.

I'd guess that's within the margin of error.

Norway does not have a minimum wage.

[Destroyer of Bad Takes (Emeritus) @_Credible_Hulk]

Yes, Norway has higher levels of multigenerational households than the US. The meme wants you to think that there are a bunch of people who don't own homes in the US who would own homes in Norway.

It's actually that the people in Norway just live with their parents.

The US doesn't have financial security for seniors??? What are social security and medicare??? 401ks and pensions??

[Destroyer of Bad Takes (Emeritus) @_Credible_Hulk]

Sure, Norwegian college is free. I'll accept that as true and not bother googling it. Why is this good??

Yes, GDP pc is higher. That has to do with the whole petrostate thing. When we look at what households actually have access to, the US beats Norway. https://t.co/WJ7k7pXfZm

The US does have a higher infant mortality rate, murder rate, and incarceration rate (not sure how this is meaningfully different than the murder rate). What does this have to do with socialism?

[Destroyer of Bad Takes (Emeritus) @_Credible_Hulk]

The US does have a lower life expectancy than Norway, but it has had a lower life expectancy consistently for ~150 years. Was Norway supposedly socialist 150 years ago??

[Destroyer of Bad Takes (Emeritus) @_Credible_Hulk]

I should go ahead and note that using Norway is textbook cherry picking. The US has ~350 million people. Norway has fewer than 6 million people. Norway is smaller than our smallest city and would be the 10th largest MSA. It is a petrostate and highly homogeneous.

And while it is true that the poorest Norwegians are better off than the poorest Americans, most Americans are better off than most Norwegians.

Does the US have 3x the poverty rate of Norway? The best I can figure is they are using the $20/day threshold for 2015. This is an incredibly high threshold.

At this threshold, Norway has the lowest poverty rate in the world and the US is the 10th lowest.

Time for a thread! Let's go through this claim by claim.

@juan_ggallardo Por desgracia, Lowe es otro tibio que no va a atajar la inmigración masiva en UK... nada que envidiarle a Vox. Quiere hacer competencia a Farage por un tema de rencillas personales… Una decepción total.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

My generation has failed millions of young British men and women who now feel unable to raise a family in our country, in our home.

Inflation. Housing. Immigration. Energy. Crime. Jobs.

The last 30 years has been a catastrophic failure.

It’s very easy for people of my age to sit in mortgage-free homes bought for a fraction of what it’s proportionately worth today and blame young Brits for the hole they find themselves in.

I’m not going to do that.

Yes, there are people taking the piss. They were when I was younger.

The vast majority of young men and women in our country want to work hard, find their way in life and build a family.

It is NOT their fault that inflation continues to soar, wages lag, the housing market is stacked against them, brutal energy costs drive up everything, their town centres are filthy with no opportunities, hard work is taxed to oblivion, millions of third world migrants are prioritised ahead of them.

We force them through university for no good reason, then saddle them with outrageous interest which is essentially just another tax.

That is not their fault. That is our fault.

My generation should start taking some responsibility for the mess we have left.

And we should start being honest about the pain required to fix it. Because we have had it easy, and our children and grandchildren will be the ones who have to pay for it - our eye-watering national debt is a shame on my generation. It is a genuine disgrace.

A false reality, all propped up by borrowed and printed money. It’s a con.

I feel guilty about it. I am trying to do something about it. It’s what Restore Britain is all about.

To leave a better country than the one handed to us.

A country where young men and women feel able to raise their family. That’s the aim.

A Britain restored.

¿Cuántos políticos están esquivando la cuestión generacional para no incomodar a una generación que prefiere arruinar a sus nietos antes que aceptar la realidad de España?
