People always get mad at me when I point out these social Democratic states are on the decline because they don't feel it yet. Look no further friends this is what capitulating to the largest imperial power in the world looks like. You will lose every single social safety net you hold dear to you in the next 20 years or less if there is not a will to say no. The decline is already happening at the behest of capital in these countries and will continue unless the US can be brought to heel.
