Doubt this. Europeans are "euroracist", protectionist and unable to see the bigger picture.
As a european I have exited the continent, sold all my properties and will never return to this place ever again.

- drawfloat 8mo ago100% guarantee either Thailand or Singapore. Always the case with these types of posts.
- mathverse 8mo agoOf course. Where else?
- mothballed 8mo agoWell Singapore has higher economic freedom index than most (all) places in Europe, except maybe Lichtenstein which is sometimes not ranked.
- snowpid 8mo agoSingapore is a very racist place and has an authoritarian regime.
- mothballed 8mo agoWhy is Europe being outdone by authoritarian racists? Singapore started out as a little shithole in the corner of Malaysia, nothing particularly special to start from and a long ways from any rich country to trade with, maybe you can learn something from the racists.
- snowpid 8mo ago1.) Someone complains about racism in Europe. In this regard Singapore is not an alternative. 2.) Sure European countries can learn something from Singapore or China. But definitely not on topics like racism and freedom of press. 3.) Was Singapore a shithole place giving its location? I doubt it because it started as a harbour where location matters. On the other hand Singapore government was quiet capable. So very interwined topic and longer discussion is needed.
- direwolf20 8mo agoSingapore executes transit travellers with personal amounts of drugs and men with long hair. Not my picture of freedom, no matter what their economy is doing.
- defrost 8mo agoA ban from the 60s refused entry to hippies, it fell out of use and was removed from the books early in the 1990s. At no point in time were Led Zeppelin, the Bee Gees, Cliff Richard, Kitarō or other long haired men transiting Singapore during that period (1960-1990) executed.
- direwolf20 8mo agoNot very free regardless.
- defrost 8mo agoLike the USofA, freedom in Singapore is f(wealth). Legally, justice wise, it's still rooted in English common law from it's time as a colony prior to the British getting over run by Japanese on bicycles. Even its class bigotry is rooted in colonial British attitudes.
- mothballed 8mo agoIt's wild watching people damn them for being authoritarian, yet by various polls 77% of Singapore want the death penalty for drug traffickers. This is high enough that i.e. in USA it would definitely be popular enough to pass an amendment to civil rights to guarantee execution even if the freedom from jeopardy to death penalty had been prior enshrined. When "authoritarianism" used to secure economic freedom, "authoritarianism" bad. When authoritarianism used to stop the majority from executing drug traffickers, authoritarianism ... good?
