How embarrassing for the US.

Gini doesn't mean anything by itself tho. HDI and Social progress index are much better indicators of quality of life.

What happens in Chile?

This is before taxes and welfare, though. It's incredibly misleading.

I have a feeling that Americans are proud of their income inequality. They see it as "the hard-working being rewarded, the lazy being punished".

Proving my point here dude...

>>72464468
I'm saying that you're posting the Gini Index prior to taxes and transfers. It doesn't take into the progressive tax system or welfare programs at all. When you include those things, the US drops down to .378, significantly lower than the countries you're talking about.

>>72464437
They do and it's fucking insane.

"He was born a millionaire, of course he deserves it!" They probably don't know what social mobility is and how it has changed over time.

But I guess they just really like dynasties because the partisans of the two parties are each trying to groom one for political royalty (Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump).

>>72464437
For the most part it's true. It literally takes minimal effort to simply survive comfortably in the US. There's really no excuse to need government assistance.

>>72464307
europe always fakes stats to make itself look better than it actually is

>>72464437
That isn't too far from the truth though. If your society is ethnically homogeneous and work ethic doesn't vary much between individuals it will also result in a low GINI. If your society is like that of the US then a low GINI is a sign that wealth is unfairly being subtracted from the individuals who actually work smart, because working smart is what gets you rich, not working hard.

That being said, it's an unbelievable, almost surreal feeling being obscenely wealthy in a very high GINI country.

>>72464437
>>72464567
We don't, really. We believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of results. And either way, OP's image is misleading because it's ignoring the fact that we've passed laws to curb that to a certain extent. We believe in hard work but we're not monsters, dirt-poor people receive a minimum level of assistance so they don't starve/freeze to death and the rich have to give up a significant portion of their income to pay for that.

>>72464575
Maybe Greece or Portugal but not most cunts.

>>72464567
If you just showed American whites for income inequality, the US would be green.

Dumbass. The people who are in poverty ARE lazy.

>>72464575
lol

>>72464661
If you included taxes, the US would be green. You don't even need to boil it down to just the whites.

Nah, be honest brother. Our government is shit and doesn't care about really poor people. That said, OP's image is outdated and inequality has also risen dramatically in the Eurozone.

>>72464779
Who implied GINI is a measure of success to begin with?

And you're successful, but homogeneity is just one of the reasons.

>>72464768
Gypsies are antisocial because of their isolationist culture, not because of their genetics.

>>72464839
Why did antisocial isolationist culture arise in gypsies but not in jews who have been just as discriminated against, or in portuguese emigrants to francophone nations who were also discriminated against?

Tip: Culture is determined by the geographic and genetic factors of the original "tribe" and is perpetuated among generations no matter how much social incentives you provide.

That is just an old stereotype from your experiments with trickle-down or supply side economics during the presidency of Reagan. I'm not aware of any country on earth that actually does that directly.

Our government spends more money providing healthcare for poor people than it does on the military.

>>72464599
Indonesia has more ethnicities than every other country (except for India maybe) and has a low Gini

>>72465420
Isn't that a nearly universal trend though? It happened in Portugal too so I guess we are an ultra-liberal poor-hating nation as well.

The truth is that states have a very hard time countering the ever growing tendency for capital to naturally accumulate at the top. This tendency has been accentuating as of the last 30 or so years, and it has even been stronger than the attempts to counter balance this using fiscal systems.

What happens in Kosovo?

>>72465573
That's because everyone in Indonesia is poor.

>>72465563
I'm not sure. I bet you know, though. Want to tell me?

>>72464348
The USA is socially a third world nation, though.

>>72465573
It's a trend, albeit a consistent one. It's also hard to define what consists an ethnicity in a first place.

We only lack class consciousness because our labor movement was smashed by the federal reserve under Reagan and COINTELPRO maimed our left wing beyond recognition. However, people here are starting to wise up to the injustice, and membership in socialist organizations has been increasing at a record clip ever since Trump got elected.

when you work with chink, it's always like this.

>>72465791
It means your country is rich but poor on the inside. Billions of dollars a year on starting and fueling wars overseas, governance directed by self serving corporations which are growing richer while the number of citizens living below the poverty line increase, along with a stupidly high amount of religious people and alongside it as militant focus of attacking rationality. It is a modern nation which invented and glorifies the modern ratrace, where people are nothing but stepping stones; a culture of selfishness that provides a safe harbour for sociopaths to rise to the highest seats of business and political office.
Rich on the outside, poor in the middle. Where human lives as about as valuable as they are in countries like Nigeria. That is why the USA is a first world nation supported by a third world societal structure.

>As long as Westerners are classcucked there can be no global revolution.

Ftfy. I've worked with labor organizations and the common sentiment for a long time has been to work within the system and hope for the best because any other path to change has been stifled. Socialist/communist parties and organizations have been pretty much deliegitimized in the West, and in much of the 3rd world as well. Even in former communist countries, socialism has often taken the backseat to neo-liberal capitalist sentiment.
