Why is Sweden a better country than Somalia?

Hint: culture, not melanin

you really should read my post about how shitty your parents were.

Its incredly sad how obviously jellous you are of the rich while pretending that you would live like jesus if not for (what reason?) I guess your intense jellousy that some people have fancy pool problems, is forcing you to not live how you say everyone should live.

You've definitly gone from being a socialist, to a communist, to now you're a cultist that thinks that you or someone like you should decide how everyone else lives.

if you were a republican, you'd go to work, and donate your money to the poor instead of arguing about how unfair the poor have it while not lifting a fucking finger to help them, while demanding that the entire world cease living the way they want to to help them instead.

go join a cult, you belong in one.

first of all, 500 mil at 25 is not top 1% or top 0.1%. top 1% at 25 is around $360,000 net worth.

i'll just use the richest dude i know as an example, his parents actually died when he was young and had nothing to leave him. my friend found him homeless at 15 and basically pulled his ass out of the gutter. he then made incredibly smart decisions, particularly with certain investments, and he now is that "25 year old with 50000 gazillion dollars"

it is a reasonable goal considering you can achieve it with an entry level job and decent financial planning.

bolded why they're poor, that and poor financial decisions. ever notice it's always poors buying the latest $800 iGadget and huge tv's every year? ever notice those are the only people buying $50,000 cars?

we actually reward people for having kids, to the point where people have children or adopt children specifically for the cash benefits they receive. in a liberal state like mine, a single mother with 2 kids would be getting over 2k in cash benefits, qualify for free housing (valued at $3,200 a month for the cheapest 3 bed in my area, INCLUDING priority over other renters in one of the most competitive markets in the world) and receive $200 a month per kid in food stamps. these are very conservative estimates except the food stamp one (it's always $200/kid and about $100-200 for the mother) and that totals
just a couple hundred shy of $70,000 a year for having 2 kids as a single mother. if 1 of those kids is disabled you're looking at way more than that.
don't even try to call bullshit, because i know people who do this and i know what they receive.

the government isn't responsible for the fact that having kids young is a financial burden on someone going to college and entering the workforce in their mid 20's.

Sweaden was also a dominate military Empire throughout most of History. Occupied by freakishly big creepy quite* white guys that invaded coastlines before most had boats.

*quite guys always go berzerk when the fighting starts.

So maybe all the constant military conquest and war gave them a bit of a leg up in the world economy over Somalia. Which is a desert filled with starving people oppressed by great powers.

I thought it was liberal values and their education system. Speaking of constant warfare, why isn't Somalia successful?

I can't believe you're actually arguing that modern swedes aren't superior to female genital mutilating Somalis

he thinks that the fact that igadgets exist, its corrupting society to make the poor want them.

Basically what juris is preaching is, living like the amish, and some how doing away with want & desire.

I'd wager he thinks authoritarian law is the only way.

His argument has gone from fantasy to insanity in like 4 steps.

i doubt jurus has ever interacted with a Somalian irl, let alone one who's fresh off the boat.

it is a 100% probability that he does no volunteer work nor has he donated to anything but the bernie campaign.

Somalis actually used to dominate trade in the indian ocean and were pretty wealthy until the 19th century when the aligned ottoman empire collapsed. hell somalia was most likely the mythical land of Punt, a wealthy trade hub of the ancient world. seems like Jurus doesn't really know much about their history or the context as to why they are the way they are in the 19th century and beyond. somalia's civil war and and subsequent decentralization of power played a much larger role than British (and Italian, you seemed to miss that part) conquest my dude.

I managed an assembly line for a while and most of the workers were fresh off the boat Somalis. I used to have lunch with those dudes every day and shoot the shit. When you ask them about the problems with Somalia, it always goes back to their civil war and in more modern times, China's illegal poaching of their fishing grounds.

oh no that doesn't fit into my agenda of "all the problems with Africa are the white man's fault" what will i ever do???

Azzar, can you clue these folks into that what it takes to be the top is to be born into a specific familial circumstance and have the connections to maintain an information flow that contains financial data used for personal gains? Is that Boolean, black and white, dichotomy based enough?
