I'm not saying that every indivudal is having a hunky dory rosy life. Compared to many in the world, your life is still better. I'm all for discussing individual problems, but not the stupidity of "feel bad for me because we had 4 crises". I complained about health care in Europe repeatedly because it's a joke. I would've died too, btw. I was saved outside of Europe, luckily, by sheer coincidence.
And btw, your grandma would've died even earlier in Syria or Venezuela. Sorry for your loss. But you still have it better than others, and I'm absolutely not against discussing problems that affect society, instead of complaining about vapid, fabricated non-issues just to feel bad for a "generation", like 4 crises. People in other countries wish they have 10% of what you have.
I know. Life here in Norway is so good people only kill themselves at a 5.6x rate per 100.000 compared to Venezuela and Syria.
I don't think anyone even records this stuff in Venezuela or Syria anymore, and due to corruption no one cares. You have no idea how chaotic things are there. I know people there who got shot and never got even picked up for weeks because no one dares to cross that street anymore. The stories are horrifying.
Please stop making excuses. Once you have no more food, clean water, electricity, and persistent hyper-inflation, then let's have that discussion again.
The irony I see here is that people keep saying that Norway is amazing socialism and everyone should do that in the US... I'm not from the US for the record. Let's not get into that discussion, but it's just an ironic thing coming to mind.
And it was at that point he realized he was talking to a troll and blocked the bs.
And like I said before, this is typical 101 cop out. You say something stupid, and when you're proven wrong, the other guy becomes a troll.
Yeah, again, no shits given.
