Oh no! Will they threaten my democracy with it?

The only reason that other governments are turning fascist is because of the USA. Over there you let absolute bellends get mega-wealthy and have a culture that pushes people to the right and far-right.

They then turn their huge, ill-gotten gains on the rest of the world to drag them down with you. They're afraid, all the time, of most things--and the idea of an alternative system flourishing anywhere else that erodes their wealth and power terrifies them most of all.

It'd just be pathetic if it wasn't so destructive.

Most universities are private and little more than marketing enterprises.

I knew it was all Russia's fault!
