    Nordic societies are also largely homogenous. Sweden has seen massive increases in violent crime and poverty ever since they started allowing anyone in. America has a very similar policy with immigrants and it’s really difficult to create such an insular culture with such a large landmass and variety of people. Americans to view themselves as -Americans and you don’t get the same with the Norwegian’s or Icelanders. I’m all for the Nordic model in Nordic countries (less Sweden until they clean up their policies that are turning their country into the third world) but America needs a different form of social welfare, starting with UBI, universal education, and socialized healthcare.

      That is wrong. Crime has slightly increased due to more population in general.

      America has a very similar policy with immigrants

      No, it hasn’t and never had.

      less Sweden until they clean up their policies that are turning their country into the third world

      You’re way more in danger of that in your corposucking neoliberal shithole.
