I live in the USA and its so bad i just cant interact with most people. They are basically entirely vibes based. They dont research anything if they hear a new claim they decide if its true based on if they feel like its true. You can literally show them evidence and most will be like "nah thats bs". I made a comment on 小红书 recently about how 54% of americans read below a 6th grade level and my replies are FULL of americans saying "uh i can read" .... can you really?

Meanwhile, socialist Norway's wealth fund could maintain everyone's standard of living for 400 years if they stopped working right now.

norway isnt socialist. they just excel at exporting capitalism's issues to the third world.

of course not, you can bet that "wealth fund" is invested in institutions that leech of the global south.

Hmmm, interesting. But what if we gave it all to one guy?

Whenever people say this they neglect to point out that all the money came from selling oil.

They forget to point out that only dumbfuck yanks would consider Norway to be socialist, so the comment, in a meme community, is misleading from the get-go.
