Just a tip, when someone insults you, it is not very effective to say the exact same insult back to them, you really have to come up with something else. "Uh uh, you are!" is a losing argument.
This is just a lazy mashup of culture war panic and economic illiteracy. European countries still rank among the highest in quality of life, healthcare access, education, and innovation. Germany, France, and the Nordics regularly outperform the U.S. on key human development indicators. And despite your claims, Europe remains home to major aerospace, biotech, and green tech industries. Russia's threat has more to do with global instability than with "welfare states failing" — and the U.S. spends more on its military than the next 10 countries combined, yet struggles to provide basic healthcare. Maybe rethink which model is more sustainable. As for "unproductive lazy people" — that’s just recycled Reagan-era scapegoating. Most welfare recipients work, are elderly, disabled, or caring for others. Painting them as leeches is both inaccurate and morally hollow. If your idea of strength is gutting social safety nets while blaming immigrants and the poor, that says more about your worldview than any real economic analysis
Got it - so not we have USA, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Japan and PRC falling in the not too far out future. Are there any others that you want to add to the list? I want to make sure I get my travel plans to Moga Dishu ready so I can avoid the fall of the First World.
When the A.G.I. gets into full swing in about 3-4 years, we will be left with about 4 U.S. companies that will control much of the global commerce, and will rake in trillions in profits. Labor markets will be severely disrupted. We will have to tax these megacorps at a fair but significant level, and share the wealth with the disaffected, or face a revolution. This will be our opportunity to expand the welfare state and pay down the deficit.

Enjoy the snark and condescension while you can. Like the fat, arrogant, self-important and pompous members of any society or system that preceded any fall ridiculing those warning about the unsustainability inherent in their systems. As if these large welfare states are fail proof and destined to succeed. Most all of these massive welfare programs were only implemented in living memory. They aren't that old and they don't have that long of a track record.
