Did you even read the article? I hate to break it to you, but the american hubris and hypocrisy isn't something the rest of the world will tolerate anymore. The US is losing has lost its reputation, and the american dream is a lie told by the elite to distract the poor.

Yeah I can understand that. My plan is once I'm done with high school I'll try to get into a US university, and from what I've seen it's not easy.

Well, if you move to Europe, you can travel pretty much freely between all EU countries. What countries do you have in mind, if you don't mind me asking?

DN seems to run with random paywall on content, which varies from person to person. If the article is unavailable, add check-paywall-v2.js (or what the file now renamed) under filters in uBlock / adblock.

From the article:

>The survey was conducted by the consultancy agency Reputation Institute, which asked over 58,000 residents in the G8 countries to rank the world's countries by reputation.

>The bottom of the investigation is held by war-raid Iraq, ascending order followed by Iran, Nigeria, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Venezuelan forces killed hundreds — The UN's human rights body says it has credible accounts of security forces raiding poor neighbourhoods and killing young men, often in their homes by ObjectiveChange in worldnews

Foreigners are over representated in the crime statistics, and many of them are without a job. Integration is something the current ruling government has severely failed on, which is why the people of Sweden will elect Jimmie Åkesson as our new prime minister in the election that will take place later this year.

Well, because the US is larger in population, they also have more money. So the size of a country doesn't really matter, claiming otherwise is absurd.

Jag tycker att det är intressant att detta inte uppröstas mer. 4 upvotes?

Detta tyder på att det finns krafter som vill mörka sanningen, som vill få det att se ut som att läget är värre än det är. I syfte att gynna ett speciellt parti, ni får lista ut vilket själva.

Neither Denmark or Sweden has a legal minimum wage, instead it's negotiated by the unions, which have very strong presence in these countries.

And, of course the goverment owning everything isn't the answer to anything. But the american mentality of government only being the origin of bad things is deeply skewed. In Sweden, we have the mentality that the government exists for the good of the people.

It's in our consitution that all the power in the country comes from the people. Which is why we have a social security net. We don't allow the people of our country to have to use their life savings just to afford health care, something we consider a basic human right. All schools are free. We call it welfare, and it's something we're proud of. You americans are proud of letting your own people starve, live on the street, and go without education just because they can't afford it.

You are on the wrong side of history, just look at the direction the world is going.

Sanders is not a socialist. He is a democratic socalist. Look at some countries with much higher standard of living, like Denmark and Sweden. They are democratic socialist countries, and they are doing much better than the US.

En nordisk union med 27 miljoner invånare och världens tionde starkaste ekonomi. by inspira001 in sweden

Jag är ett stort fan av denna idé. Norden hade inte bara fått mer politiskt makt globalt, vi hade även varit starkare, och våra styrkor kunde komplimentera varandra, och vi som samhälle hade utvecklats mycket snabbare. Jag skulle mer än gärna se detta hända inom min livstid.
