Look it is so easy to get worked up about one silly person thrown to the socialist wolves like that, but seriously – does anyone genuinely care whether or not you can get “rich” in a country? If you had the choice between a country where you get guaranted healthcare (and, ideally, your own roof over your head) and your kids can go to college for free, or one where you can become a billionaire, who THE FCK picks option 2? It’s on the level of saying, would you rather live to be 80 or have a 1 in 3 million chance to turn into a unicorn princess? Even if you assume everyone has the same fetish as you – because you grew up in a culture where unicorn princesses are the upper class and your amount of basic rights is determined by how closely you resemble one. Even if you think, you, personally, have a much higher probability because you are smart and optimistic and work to “better yourself”. How the fck do you think you can sell this to the rest of the people in that 3 million statistic. Are you counting on them being suckers who only think they have a shot, unlike you who absolutely definitely has a shot and is not a sucker? It’s an amazing gotcha that only works if you assume your audience is nothing but idiots who fell for the same scam you did
