Gen Z embraces 'safety capitalism', says current social safety net is broken - Lemmy.World

No they don’t. They want socialism. Or democratic socialism.
The fuck is safety capitalism? Is it just some bullshit word for people who don’t want to say socialism? Fuck, if that’s what it takes for people to accept socialism then they can call it whatever the fuck they want.
Social democracy isn’t sexy enough of a word I suppose. It would be capitalism but with a safety net
Also, it didn’t work out so well
Out of all countries, social democratic Nordic countries are probably doing the best. Pretty good going imo.
How much of their wealth is colonial wealth brought back by their ancestors?
Very little? None of them have been big colonial countries and Finland was itself a colonized country.

Hm, Africa, the Caribbean, Indochina, all bloodily plundered by, lessee here… ah yes, the people of the Nordic countries

[yes I know nobody is innocent and the Sami would have some words but come the fuck on now]
