I know. My point is that just comparing yearly wages can be misleading. When you consider working hours, public health care, "free" education, long paid vacations, large public pensions etc. the wages after net transfers are actually very good in Denmark even for high paying jobs. And it's easy to move from Denmark to another European country or the US later in life if you start making a lot of money because Denmark is part of the EU, most Danes are fluent in English, a lot of Danes can speak German etc.

I will most likely stay in Denmark for at least 5-10 after I graduate because I don't want to choose between a good career and having time to enjoy life while I'm in my twenties.

Hourly income (after tax) for minimum wage jobs are a lot higher in Denmark. On top of that they get 1 month of paid vacation, public health care, large public pension, and they still get paid when they're sick (assuming they work full time).

Danish girls are a whole new level of kinky. All together, Danes are just weird. They are so foreign to me and I live right across the border (flensburg). Every week they drive here to go shopping for booze and groceries. Germany is like their Mexico. They have levels of Ordnung that just make me uncomfortable. Also, who all days that they have no brown people is wrong. But somehow the brown people behave much better than in Germany or France.

Per capita and historical trends, retard. America has been the number 1 destination for immigration for centuries. Cuckway has never been a popular target.

Norwegian-American rejects became Norwegian elites.
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0019793917726981
The authors compile large data sets from Norwegian and US historical censuses to study return migration during the Age of Mass Migration (1850–1913). Norwegian immigrants who returned to Norway held lower-paid occupations than did Norwegian immigrants who stayed in the United States, both before and after their first transatlantic migration, suggesting they were negatively selected from the migrant pool. Upon returning to Norway, return migrants held higher-paid occupations relative to Norwegians who never moved, despite hailing from poorer backgrounds. These patterns suggest that despite being negatively selected, return migrants had been able to accumulate savings and could improve their economic circumstances once they returned home.

I spend 50 euros per month (600/year) on public transport
friends who have cars spend like 300 per month (3600/year) for gas, insurance, parking, tires, repairs, etc; sometimes it could be 500+/mo
on top of that, good luck selling your depreciating car when you're fed up with these expenses, there's severe liquidity crisis at the moment. what used to be 10k last year is around 3-4k today and still nobody buys it
it's common picture when take 100k cars from dealerships and can't sell them for 30% of initial price after 3 years, including expenses is like throwing away 30k away every year while you could invest it or build a house to live in

Only the people in first generation are immigrants. Their children and grandchildren are Americans who often don't even speak the language of their foreign-born parents. If they were to return back to their parents' homeland they will be treated as Americans, not as locals.

Why do some of them still cling on to their immigrant descent is another matter, albeit pretty interesting. Why would people in the "best country on Earth"™ wouldn't want to fully assimilate and dissolve into their new American identity? ;^)

My claim is that this picture is false. It claims Denmark has a failing economy due to his supposed high taxes.
However, it's false. It has a lower unemployement, better standards of living and a higher labor force participation than the USA, which is on the biggest bullrun in the last 2 decades. You heard it right, Denmark's average is better than US's peak.
My claim is also that this absolute economic miracle is because they have a high VAT, wich is a very protectionist tax that allows them to fund some of the best public services in the world without impeding their economic stability.

I am going to give you the RED PILL truth about the Scandinavian countries. Personally, I am an immigrant that has lived in Sweden for over 10 years and I have basically grown up here, so I know shit. I have 3 Bachelor degrees in comp sci, maths and economics so don't talk shit about. Going for 3 masters here since education is free and I don't give a shit how much it costs for the government. This will be a number of red pill truths only based people know and goes for Denmark, Norway and Sweden since they basically have the same systems with slight variance. It will come from the perspective from who someone who wants to MAKE IT in Scandinavia

1.SECURITY Life is great here with all of the benefits of free education, healthcare and welfare for someone that is a NORMIE/NEET/NPC or whatever you call it. The opportunities for someone who wants to have a stable normie life here are great like literally in all life areas. You could be a basement dweller for the rest of your life and turn out fine.

2. PEOPLE You may have heard that Scandinavian people are seen as "cold". Reality is that they are simply less than average socially competent people. The typical Scandinavian doesn't understand social cues like fraternity or being yourself eg. They rarely develop deep friend relationships even though they have known someone for a long period. You will never see them be true "bros" with someone. They feel uncomfortable with that and only mantain shallow relationships. I have never felt I could trust a Scandinavian as a real friend unless it was work-related.

>> No.11509666

3. MENTALITY Being above average is frowned upon here. It is literally a passive-aggressive crab-mentality (google it). You will never be critiqued directly but through some other means. This is the man reason to why MENA immigrants do crime here. Most Scandinavian people here are PUSSIES! They are afraid of protecting their values when it is needed let's say when some shitskin immigrant is calling them a racist because they didn't let them pass in the que of a food store. Just a small example. Your average shitskin immigrant(=this year it would be an Afghan) is very aware of this fact and no wonder they don't respect Scandinavian women, take advantage of welfare, do petty crimes eg. I would summarize this simply as low testosterone because you don't see this shit in Russia or Poland eg. I clearly see the pattern: Rarely do I see someone with a character, values, drive to achieve something or going against the grain. On a national level this is called Political Correctness as you all know.

4. MAKING IT This is the most depressing point for me personally. If you want to make it, like making millions, be prepared to have it working against you even though you have a solid baseline. Remember being a NORMIE is a fine but as soon as you want to move upwards its shit.
-Make over about 500k$, start handing over 52% of it to government and indirectly sponsor the unproductive refugees.
-Having employees in a company is very expensive.
-I know literally zero people that want to seriously have a much better life, full of experiences such as fucking smoking hot Blondes, driving fast cars, trying out crazy stuff eg. Everyone here gets content very fast once they pass 20.

I am seriously wondering how these countries made it with this kind of mentality. I believe it was sheer luck combined with higher than average arithmetical IQ. It will become worse in the future. The decline has just started. With the refugee, feminism and socialism waves growing larger coupled with Scandinavians being the most in debted people ever I have stopped giving a shit. I will either move to Norway where the salary is higher, start my companies and get the fuck out once I have enough of fuck you-money.

Very different from the Leftist, collective ownership forms of Marxist socialism. The problem is that much more "diverse" nations with high levels of social parasitism and porous borders (such as the US) can't feasibly implement something similar as supporting it would overwhelm government resources. Also note that every actual Leftist Communist/Socialist government doesn't actually have social programs even close to as effective as places like Denmark. Think the Chinese Communist party gives a shit if you starve on the street or can't afford cancer surgery?

The median net worth is higher in Denmark than in the US. That is after taxation.

Its not black and white like you want to portray. Apparently you are living like a homeless person who could die at any moment due to an accident and the lack of health insurance. Good luck with that.

I forgot to specify that only people with an actual career will get insured. Always offered even at entry level positions. Again though, you have to actually be useful to get this benefit

It seems to me that it worked while it was a homogeneous society - social pressures probably keep people working hard regardless of the safety nets.

Now that they have imported all these low IQ people who will only take and not contribute, it may not keep working. IMO.

Do Americans actually know what the difference between a western social democracy and socialism is?

They don’t need to share their wealth state with illegal immigrants. So there’s more for themselves. Is it that hard to get?

Yes, all capitalistic countries are sparkling yardsticks of virtue & are 100% devoid of any corruption at every level.

The only people who claim capitalists/socialists are corrupt are those who gorge on lines of shit from politicians. Both systems have room for corruption
