Turning the US into Russia 2.0

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Russia is actually significantly better to live in than America, and it is a total shithole.

America is still slightly ahead of Russia there, due to the legacy of the USSR. Not that Russia's billionaires aren't doing their best to privatize education and keep it out of reach of the peasantry since the fall of communism.

the oligarchs of russia sends thier children to elite or standard western colleges, russian is a shithole even for them for education.

Yeah, and a lot of the 56% college grad rate is boomers who were educated before the fall and are now dying off. We will see it drop precipitously in the next 20 years or so, and the quality of the education of the newly graduated decline.

As an outsider, I honestly and sincerely invite anyone to explain how any of what’s going on in the US today isn’t as American as apple pie and school shootings?
