that was specifically referring to homer being too stupid to function anywhere outside of america

But aren't the welfare systems in European countries far more intensive than in america?

Homer would have been beloved in Japan

He's not brown enough to qualify

Sure, if Homer Simpson had been born in Norway he’d most likely have led a very good life with a much similar lifestyle as depicted on the show at the time. He certainly wouldn’t have been employed by a nuclear power plant, but he would most likely have had gainful employment in a manual labor job with welfare benefits from the state to allow for him to own a home of that size and raise just as many children. The welfare state is why good workers are still proud to hold the same professions as their grandparents in the Norse states. A man can work an honest day’s labor there and still provide for his entire family by not just his own toil and sweat, but the support of the community and the nation that values all their members. We don’t have that in America unfortunately.

quit cherry picking little couple million people meme states at your leisure and holding a 325 million country up against it. norway's boring and gay. there are absolutely parts of the US that value community you just live in fucking eastoid or west coast muttland. try living in Montana or Idaho and believing this shit.
>inb4 no one lives there
no one lives in norgeland either, it'd be like the 25th most populated state. if you get to cherry pick little dinky countries i get to cherry pick us states

In Britain Homer would have been a comfortable norfman brickie

Do you really expect me to read all that shit?

Homer absolutely could not do what he does on the show in the United States. Which is hold a job with a high enough salary to afford the house he’s shown to live in. He also manages all of this while being the single wage earner supporting a family of five that own two cars and have expensive hobbies like a daughter who plays the saxophone. Where he could do it is in one of the Norse countries with an expansive welfare state. The only people you’ll find living like he does on the show in Montana are very seldom and far between. It’s exceptionally uncommon there, and it’s usually provided as the benefit of exploiting workers. It’s just the sad truth of the episode that only grows more and more poignant every year :)

>you'd have been fucked and sucked to death
Was it too far?

No, it was a meta joke about how Homer is too stupid to be as successful as he is if he were a real person.

>Americans unironically believed this in the 1990s
Westerners invited in the children of the devil, moved them right out of their georgian mountain caves and straight into the halls of education and politics in the west, and they used our goodness against us.
Those georgians are evil, blood cursed, satanic creatures, but what can you do?

Homer isn't on welfare, he's a nuclear safety inspector.

That guy was so bitchy and unlikable.
The creators took the easy way out. They played it safe.
The creators failed to insert a character we could empathize with. Thus their critique fell flat.
Which would've been far better.

Because "any other country" sounds better than "any non-western 3rd world shithole".

It's sad that we're seeing so many great people pass.
And it sure doesn't look like it's getting much better.
And Chuck Jones passed away I was bummed as a kid. Jesus bless him.

I literally live in Idaho and you are full of shit
America is a shithole be it flyover on coast

Welfare state is fucking retarded. I can't believe bootlickers defend it.
It does nothing but make countries poorer.

Switzerland doesn't have one and workers are richer there.

>Where he could do it is in one of the Norse countries with an expansive welfare state.
What? lmao he would be taxed to death there and barely make enough wages to enjoy his life
he would have to pay for a bloated welfare system that doesn't even benefit him

because Scandinavian countries are some of the most capitalist in the world and built most of their wealth and living standards during their free market eras

why do you people cherry pick these welfare states and not the utter failures of spain, greece, Portugal etc?

>exploiting workers
please learn basic economics
employers do not dictate wage rates
learn what marginal productivity is

why did you @ me i was just mocking him with the comic book guy

It's crazy that you faggots have been so brainwashed by right wing political shills that you honestly think this is how it works. The billionaires are the ones getting taxed out the ass in a system like this, not the little guy. It wasn't that long ago that Bernie Sanders wanted to bring a system like this to the states and you called him a communist too. But he showed his figures, no normal working person was going to get taxed more than they already did, it was the hyper wealthy who were going to get taxed more. Because when you think about it, if you're worth 5 billion dollars, what the fuck are you even going to do with all that money? You could take 4 billion away and your life wouldn't change in any meaningful way. You'd still live in the lap of luxury, you and your family are set for life, none of you would ever have to work again do anything at all. Stop simping for the elites and then pretending you're the one rebelling against them you utter fucking cuck. These people don't even pay the miniscule amount of taxes they're legally obligated to pay. Only normal people have to do that.

They're saying Homer wouldn't be on the streets looking for food because European countries have had better social programs than the US.

>It's crazy that you faggots have been so brainwashed by right wing political shills
HAHAHAHAHA
Oh god. You don't even realized that YOU are the brainwashed one and YOU want lower living standards for yourself.
Read a book you fucking shit eating faggot.
My ideal state is Switzerland and yours is Venezuela. Why do you want to live in poverty?
>The billionaires are the ones getting taxed out the ass in a system like this
Nope, most of the tax burden in these countries, especially Sweden is placed on the middle class. Sweden actually learned it's a bad thing to tax the wealth away from your country because it hurts production.
It's hilarious you think billionaires have unlimited resources and can pay for everything lmao.
>Bernie Sanders wanted to bring a system like this to the states and you called him a communist too.
Because he is and deserves a helicopter ride.
If his policies were implemented, we would have a massive amount of poverty in USA, massive inflation, shortages of goods etc. Kill yourself.
> But he showed his figures
lmao and they were extremely flawed
he basically wanted to print more money to pay for everything
>if you're worth 5 billion dollars, what the fuck are you even going to do with all that money?
Invest it in production to make more goods and services for everyone? Or SAVE IT which means you're not consuming goods, meaning there are more goods for everyone else to consume?
>you utter fucking cuck.
The IRONY.
Read Mises and Rothbard you bootlicking shitstain.

>European countries have had better social programs than the US
Imagine being this much of a bootlicker defending your statist masters.
Imagine thinking "social programs" benefit you.
Imagine thinking the reason europe isn't like south america right now is due to "social programs" and not economic production.
Socialist political parties should be banned.

>defending bernie sanders
Do you want to starve to death or something? I don't get you people.
I sometimes think you people deserve a socialist USA just so you can experience the poverty other countries face. Dumb kid.

lol retard

theyre wealthy because a lot of oil money to go around very few people

You could tax every last cent from every billionaire in America and it would only fund the US government for 4 months.

Thats the point.
Grimes was a reflection of a real working american (at the time) inserted into the insane world of the simpsons
Everything he says and does make sense if you use them in the real world, but in the simpsons world, he's just an unlikable guy that ruins the dynamic

lol cope

The word socialist itself has lost all meaning. Yes we have Strong welfare systems in Nordic countries. But compared to America we have an mostly Homogeneous society. Our population is 5.8Mil. And even now our Welfare state is being strained to the limit because of Foreign welfare niggers and students abusing it. It would never work in USA that's just an ridiculous idea.

Also stop fucking using us as an example in general.

What do you think about mises.org? Seem to be some decent articles there.

anything by them is extremely good

he would live in a one-room apartment. americans have no idea how much higher their average standard of living is vs. euros

Homer is a fat lazy retard, he’d be fired from any job that required labor. He just exists in a bubble, he always has. He’s a good dad and a good dude but he really is just lucky to have been born when/where he has. It doesn’t even make him a bad person, he’s just lazy.

If the only parts of your country are bumfuck middle of nowhere then it's not a good country.

>DUDE TAKE MONEY FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE EARNED IT AND GIVE IT TO PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T LMAO IT'S GREAT
Slave mentality.
Why should I, or anyone else, work 40+ hours a week at a tough as shit job with high expectations and serious consequences for failure and then have the extra capital that earns taken away and instead given to some sub-intelligent drop-out slacker that spends 25 hour a week mixing concrete so he can breed five kids who will do the same or less.

>That guy was so bitchy and unlikable
His frustration and grievances were 200% reasonable and justified given the context if the episode. That was largely even the point of the episode.

Proud to be a cuck.
Do Europeans really?
How can you fill fulfilled by surviving in handout money from the government?

Paying people to do nothing is not a "better social program".

Bro Europeans unironically BRAG about how their government won't let law-abiding citizens own guns.
They are beyond "proud to be cucks".

A rising tide lifts all boats. It's not like a person with a better job is going without or the person paying less taxes is a thief. Part of the reason the USA has so many problems is this strange mentality of fuck you I got mine. As if some how one's hometown is better off with large scale income inequality vs everyone doing better.
If you look at the data all the Scandinavia counties are now stomping the USA in pretty much every single quality of life metric.

>It's not like a person with a better job is going without
They are working more yet recieving less.

>or the person paying less taxes is a thief.
Yes they are.
If not then Amazon not paying taxes is OK, too.

Not in cancer survival rate they aren't, American healthcare quality is still by far the best in the world

What about Switzerland?

This plus free health

>highest standard of living in europe
>mandatory military training
>extremely decentralized government, most townships have their own niche laws that are unique to them instead of the federal government imposing laws universally
>beautiful country

Seems like an awesome [place to live

MUH GUNS MUG GUNS MUG GUNS

You fucking muttpigs have all the guns in the world and are still nothing but slaves to your gouvernment and corporate overlords. I at least dont become homeless when I lose my job or have to get medical help.

I live there. And its mostly great but the people are kinda too autistic. Its hard to make friends.

why was he such a cunt?

A nation of takers raises no boats.

im finnish and ive thought about this a lot and in the end i think its cheaper to pay unemployable people shitty apartments and give them some money so they can eat, smoke weed and/or than to deal with the levels of crime that follow from actual poverty
