    (subsidized by the oppression of the global south abroad, though they don’t see or know about this part of the idea either)

    You forgot another thing: They don’t care about what happens to us Global Southerners, as long as they get to live “luxuriously”.

    Many USians unironically believe Canada is socialist.

    Do they? I thought they consider the Nordic Countries as the, quote-unquote, “acceptable form of” Socialism incarnate.

    It is the: “Communism = bad, and all bad things are communist so…” kinda brain

    if communism is bad then god i wanna be a bad girl

      This is likely why they don’t know.

      Do they?

      Yup, the Nordic countries are just generally seen as ‘more socialist’.

      if communism is bad then god i wanna be a bad girl

        What the hell even is “more socialist” lmao, wouldn’t “too much socialism” just be communism?

        And who says you aren’t a bad girl?

          Exactly, it prevents white people from having to reconcile the vile history of our ancestors and our personal contributions to that legacy.

          In their minds, yes. This is why they think the Nordic countries are still in the acceptable zone but start becoming like Vietnam or whatever and that’s “too much socialism”.
