also, god doesn't exists, but that's a boring question about religion.

There is no value in religion the person puts the value on it

Yeah it's politics not religion

fine, I'll rephrase it if you're being so picky about words: societies that follow some specific religions will generally get something that *you* deem valuable.

I guess if some of my values link with theirs

Or if we come up with the same conclusion

But i don't get the relevance

like, imagine arguing against "the boy who cried wolf".
"oh the boy didn't actually exist", "we don't even know his name", "what an unrealistic story", "why didn't they have better wolf protection/patrols"

that's not the fucking point of that story

so the point of a religion is to point out things we find valuable through stories?

yes, or at least the things that were valuable at the time stories were written

Religion is like

yeah

Moral stories covered with bullshit

But no one cares about the bullshit

Except like creationists or something

yeah usually have philosophical backing

yeah, but you need some of the bullshit so that people remember the stories. (see: the boy who cried wolf)

its basically a simple version of the current state of morality

for the plebs

there's probably more to it but yeh

easier to digest

Has anyone shown Carl this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gZFGpNdH1A

Isn't part of the reason the nords health care system works because they can afford to do it

Because they don't pay for their national defense

And also because they don't have extreme regulations

that only applies to norway as they are a part of nato

every other nordic country are wholly responsible about their own defense

i suppose you could make the argument that US pays for swedish defense budget as AT4 (M136) is a product of sweden. beyond materiel contract such as that i have no idea where ben shapiro got into his head that the nordics don't pay for their own defense

They have practically no defence

They have a militia

Its small

So they pay comparatively little to maintain it.

we have a militia? 1939 called and they'd like their soviets back

I am saying their military is so small it is basically a militia

ever heard of conscription?

Ever heard of tyranny?

so every able male of the whole nation is a militia?

Kind of by definition if they are not active duty.
