Sorry Darin, not a grass

On some things the UK is progressive, on other issues, like sustainable transport, they see it as antisocial behaviour.

and even US

Haha yeah, but actually, no. They still have literally stalinist communist hellhole things like public health care, unemployment insurance and public transport, which, due to freedom™️, the US does not have to suffer from.

public health care

If you wait 20 years for it

unemployment insurance

That doesn't actually allow one to afford anything

public transport

Apart from London it's largely non-functional and privatised to hell and back

UK is a shithole, don't let the rose-tinted glasses for mild social policies in other countries in Europe fool you.
