    You think you’d be better as a Chinese or Russian citizen? Because that’s the damage they’d like to do to you.

      Oh no, Id have to have free healthcare, affordable housing, government job finding assistance, free education and vocational training wholly dependent on my grades, free addiction assistance should I fall into addiction, an economy built for resilience instead of catered to boom/bust cycles…

      How would I survive in such a horrid nightmarescape.

        Sorry, which of those countries do you think have those? The vast majority of Chinese and Russian citizens in what the west would consider absolutely horrible conditions.

        You have 0 idea what you’re talking about.

        Free healthcare? Yeah, I’d rather see an American veterinarian.
