Catchier than the real Anthem

Right!? This song slaps.

Reminds me of when Geoff Berner wrote about Vancouver shutting down the department that investigated children's murders at the same time they devoted billions to hosting the winter olympics. The dead, dead children were worth it

Meanwhile, the EU backs away slowly whistling nonchalantly. Can't let the FIFA thing remind people to look into how their social welfare system is paid for ultimately. I know we do the same shady business practices too but I'm just here to annoy the people who think the EU is above all that because "they're better than the US."

Source? I'd like to read up on this.

This was from a year ago?

Needs more views. Needs a billion views!

Who is "we"?

Imagine a westerner singing this song like it doesn’t apply to them lol.

Oh you mean proper taxation?

Yeah, terrible, those poor billionaires.

This needs to be the official World Cup song.

TIL all westerners agree with slavery in 2022. Go touch some grass

Some nice whataboutism there. You do realize you can criticize both for different reasons right?

The EU has massive corruption issues as well as a large rise of right nationalism. I think having seen Brexit happen, the Dutch and Irish dodging corporate taxes like Neo and Hungary turning into a semi-dictatorship makes it pretty clear there are problems, no?

They should learn from the US states that just abolished slavery ;)

Lol there is no slavery in the west. You hold slaves.

Our prison systems in many cases are in fact legalized slavery, otherwise I agree.

That is an incredibly naive and ignorant take. Slavery is rampant in the west. It might not be as open and deliberate as in Qatar, but it is prevalent.

I wish you were right, but sadly you are not.

Don't you know the billionaires worked hard and earned it? All on their own, and it's definitely not built upon the pillars of society.

Damn...that's way too catchy lol

That's not comparable.

Show me examples where westerners hold slaves. Please.

I'll cede that our prison system is trash but other than that all the above replies are silly. Human trafficking is not the same as legalized slavery.

By this point three people have told you that you are wrong and all you can say "that does not fit what I mean by slavery". Maybe explain your point better or accept that the word you are using has a wider meaning than you think.

Most likely you just wanted to have a cheap swipe at a group of people / culture you do not like. Maybe used your time better and read some of the links I posted.

Ok. I've replied to each person individually but ok. So you're wrong because an illegal trade in immigrants is not comparable to legalized official slavery😀.

Thats' just the USA though.

There's a difference between slavery being not only legal but a state institution, and slavery being propagated by criminals that the police have not yet caught.
