mainly the reason Europe is better for workers is that at the height of their labour political strength at the end of WW2 they codified some proper protections while the US constitution being as it is fuckwitted and written by a bunch of noted fuckwits prevents anything being done

I don't like to just blame Reagan for everything as it ignores the fact society was already fucked up enough to create and elect Reagan before Reagan was president

As the Chinese like to put it "western democracy is a system where you can't change the menu but you can choose the chef"

yeah they easily could they just hate you. The US constitution being absolute dogshit also makes it harder for when labour is strong to codify any gains.

that claim is just nonsense there is vast wealth in the US more than in Europe and the Americans have an outsized impact in European politics. For example the UK's terf problem has been greatly exacerbated by funding from the US right wing.

this as evidence America is poorer than Europe is extremely dubious as there are many in Europe having these same problems

also it's fundamentally unmarxist to see poverty in the US and think ah yes this is because of foreigners and not because of the capitalists of the US

repeatedly explaining that you can't make nuclear safety decisions based on wishy thinking and vibes

well saying the nazis were bad because they wanted to kill millions of people and it's wrong to murder is taking a moral stance. A defining feature of modern liberalism is moral nihilism and nazis being as they are disingenuous little shits are all to happy to weaponise and manipulate this nihilism to advocate that nazism should be allowed
