If race determines success, why is USA and Canada so rich compared to Europe? Dont say its not, median wealth in North America is almost 3x that of Europe.

Doesn't really matter if the moment you need healthcare all the money you've obtained disappears

Lots of European countries have higher GDPs it's just the ex-communist countries that bring them down.
Mason Johnson
Well no true hereditarian worth his salt claims that race alone determines success; it's about actualizing genetic potential, combined with some slightly nebulous, slightly opaque environmental factors that are difficult to pin down.
The thing is, your example has to work both ways; I could just easily bring up how Sub-Saharan Africa, which is overwhelmingly non-European, is ridiculously poor and corrupt and the only relatively successful nation past the Sahara is South Africa, which has a high amount of white people in it. Not that I'm trying to be facile or anything; but two can play at that game if they want to. At least the answer I've given is within the lines of thinking that race does have "some" relevance in regards to success, as opposed to none at all.

How is China that powerful, yet have low GDP compared to the U.S?
Zachary Ortiz
It has 4 times the population and most things are controlled by the government so it can utilize greater resources.
Hunter Brown
Large population, large manufacturing center, large amount of undeveloped natural resources, access to dairly modern technology. Even though they arent developed enough to fully use those resources right now, the potential gives them a lot of influence.

Have you ever heard of World War II and the Marshall Plan?

the whites of America and Canada are the ones who chose to leave E*rope behind and adopt a better ethos
Race does determine success and when a Euro crosses the atlantic for the first and last time he rises above being merely a Euro and joins the ranks of the superior burger

Things are just more expensive in the US.

>median wealth in North America is almost 3x that of Europe
See en.m.wikipedia.org
In terms of median wealth per adult, the US ranks 22, behind Switzerland, Belgium, France, and even Ireland. Ahead of Germany though.

What do you think the racial make up of the US is?
Andrew Ward
it isn't. USA is the same size than western europe in population. Also, Europa has had socialism for more than 100 years by now and the USA by only like 50 years. You will hit rock bottom like us, just a few decades later.
Samuel Flores
China utilizes a concept called "soft power", they mainly influence things using propaganda and economy, they don't just wave their big military cock around, because they don't really have one.
Read Unrestricted Warfare.
Carson Collins
Yes and wealth inequality is also far less pronounced in Europe. It is almost like Europeans are people and Americans are cattle
Colton Cruz
>median wealth
How's the wealth distribution though? Is the average american wealthy, without debt?
Gabriel King
race doesn't determine anything. only geography and opportunity determine success of populations. every "new" country was stronger than the old one. if we start a new country in africa then you'll have a lot of super successful black.
Jordan Jackson
Notice that the difference between the median and mean is massive in the US, implying that there is massive wealth inequality.
Samuel King
us has GOD TIER geographics
Julian Cooper
it implies life is cheap in the US and people don't need much money.
Lincoln Russell
also the us was prett much the only functional developed country post ww2 and the us wholeheartedly embraced capitalism with europe being more hesitant
Grayson Sullivan
If that's true, why hasn't the government repossessed Jeff Bezos' wealth yet?
After all, he doesn't need much money.
Jacob Scott
>Europe being more hesitant
this is why life in Europe is much less unpleasant.
Christian Hernandez
america was 90% white until 1965 and it hasnt fought a domestic war for hundreds of years
also per capita america is not as high as a lot of europe
and gdp is bullshit anyway
Owen Adams
who would repossess it? do you even know what that word means?
the government doesn't want Bezos' money because they have enough, too. taxes are constantly shifting to find the right balance.
David Ramirez
That's GDP per capita
Jonathan Hill
>the government doesn't want Bezos' money because they have enough, too.
But the people who don't have enough do want it.
Christian Rogers
>including former communist shitholes
Gavin Carter
they should start a business or study a new skill then. i'd argue that even stealing Bezos' money can be a skill, but there are justified consequences for stealing.

I think that Amazon is a monopoly and to ensure the quality of a free market economy it needs to be broken up and redistributed, perhaps to the people.
Jack Morgan
it's objectively not a monopoly, but if you can make a case then you are free to take them to court.
Aaron Fisher
You're stupid if you think GDP means anything. Switzerland has a super high GDP but you're paying out the ass for a simple restaurant meal or rent. Meanwhile in Asia you can get a meal for $1-5 depending on the country and rent is never more than 20% of your paycheck. Sometimes 10% or less.
Part of a high GDP is charging more for the same shit. It's what GDP measures: the flow of money. It's easier to have more flow when things cost more. It doesn't necessarily mean the product is better, because it's all fucking made in China and Vietnam anyways.
Logan Cox
>it's objectively not a monopoly
If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck.
Fact of the matter is, Amazon can pressure everyone who wants to sell a lot of different stuff online out of the market if they want to and it impossible to start up a new company that does an even remotely similar thing. There is basically nobody in the business of buying shit online that isn't Amazon or selling on Amazon (giving them a cut).
It's a functional monopoly.
>you are free to take them to court
No, you are not, because their lawyers are gonna murder you. Only extralegal action or government intervention can change things.
