What currency the selling is done in probably doesn’t matter but yes Norway maintains one of the largest sovereign wealth funds.

The issue is in undemocratic countries there’s usually a preverse incentive to not educate people to maintain control of the country. Non resource rich countries have to educate their population to improve productive output.

Would you say that the average citizen of a developed nation is one of these rich or is benefiting from the rich? They probably make up the most of these statistics about happiness.

Exploitation of cheap labor and resources in the global south, which create artificially cheap commodities to subsidize their lifestyles.

Exporting environmentally destructive resource extraction and production to the global south, allowing them to reap the benefits of plastics and meat without suffering the costs of massive amounts of pollution and hyper-exploitation of local workers.

So, like every developed country in the world? Even post-soviet countries that never even existed before 1991 are imperialistic? Who would’ve thunk.

Being welcomed under the umbrella of America/NATO protection instead of being labeled as one of its enemies.

You do realize that countries technically speaking Sweden is not even in the NATO yet and a year ago neither Sweden or Finland were in NATO and had no intention to join NATO until Russia threatened them? They achieved their welfare states before they decided to join NATO. Does that retroactively turn them imperialistic?

Like, come on.

Yeah, come on. Use your brain for once and don’t just spew tankie bullshit.
