The Nordic countries aren't poor. They take care of everyone. Maybe, because they are small and used to be homogenous, it was easier to have a welfare state where people were (mostly) cared for. It is probably a lot harder now when they are more diverse. Diversity brings anxiety and a desire to "cut off" the "others" from benefits one (and one's kin group) "deserves" themselves. In our country we see that white "christians" (who are not christian in the least) think they are not only entitled to other people's money (for example, blue state money) but that they are also entitled to impose their religion on everyone else. Perhaps diversity brought down Rome and it will do the same to us. It's not like we can go back- no matter how much white fucked up assholes want to- we've passed the point of no-return in terms of how many cultures and races and religions we encompass. India is a lot like the US, in terms of it's internecine struggles- which won't make you sleep well at night if you think about it too much.
