I will say this. The MAGA and "POOR BUT RICH" mentality of Americans at the bottom rung is quite accommodating of success, especially in the cities.
In Germany you can't purchase a Ferrari or "show off" any fruits of labor or anything like that. They will spit and attack your car if you say anything about them spitting on it.
A lot of successful Germans have moved to Los Angeles (among other successful people from socialist blocs) because they said the culture is too unforgiving of success and in America they don't encounter that in the cities here. Here, people want to talk to you, congratulate you, ask you about the car.
In Germany, they want to hurt you, spit on you, destroy the car.
Socialism comes at....social cost. As ironic as that sounds. The cultural landscape would not be all roses and flowers if the USA were socialist. The winners would be punished, shamed, and spit on in the streets no different than Germany.
Something for JurisDictum to think about.
