How else can we explain the civilization lagging of Estonia, its transformation into a cemetery of people and ideas?
In Sweden a 6-hour working day was implemented. In Great Britain there are shops with free food arriving from hypermarkets. France forbade disposable plastic tableware. Holland legalized marijuana. Finland is implementing unconditional basic income. In Belgium there are several state languages. In Holland and Sweden prisons are abolished. Iceland credits the population and implements direct democracy. Germany accepts refugees, performing the function of a saving humanitarian convoy.
By the way, about refugees. Why is it necessary to save refugees? The bulk of people everywhere and always is mediocre, narrow people. But there is a small amount of human diamonds which you can't recognize immediately - a person needs time to reveal himself and begin to sparkle with all the sides of his talent.
In 437 years (from 1258 to 1696) the order of Trinitarians redeemed 30 732 slaves from Muslim captivity. And only one of them glorified Spain before the whole world and significantly contributed to the world culture. It was Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra who was redeemed from Algerian captivity.
25 years ago Fadumo Dayib fled from Somalia to Finland because of a civil war. Now she decided to return to Somalia, having become the first female candidate for president of the country. She isn't afraid of death and wants prosperity for Somalia.
And what is the government of Estonia proud of? It's proud of the fact that here you have electronic elections and people, without leaving their homes, can choose to listen to several mournful old pop melodies for a period of 5 years. It's proud of the fact that new prisons are under construction. It's proud of the fact that here marijuana isn't legalized, but people drink alcohol more than in other countries, trying to escape from reality.
Recently Estonia celebrated the 25th anniversary of independence and freedom. But what freedom are we talking about if people are constantly forced to think about money and spend their lives to earn money and survive?
Until there starts an equitable distribution of budgetary funds, until people have unconditional basic income which will allow them to do their favorite thing and not think about money , living as they want, it is too early to speak about freedom and happiness in Estonia.
