US Median PPP, as in living standard of someone sitting exactly in the middle of the population says that the American middle class, literally exactly in the middle, enjoys a standard that is 5th in the world, directly behind Switzerland and right above Canada and also above all European Union nations except for special case Luxembourg.
Meanwhile Russia sits right between Bulgaria and Costa Rica.
I would say that the American middle class is doing just fine compared to most the world, Western Europe included.

Want to know some other countries with low homelessness, low crime, and no drugs? China and Cuba. Those things you praise Russia for are remnants of Communist culture. The whole point of communism and its legacy is that you are ensured the bare minimum; however, it does so at the expense of affording little to no upward mobility.
Your assertions regarding the US seem to mirror the cliche and exaggerated message peddled in easily impressionable Zoomer generation circles.
Instead of listening to the contrived, softie social engineering meant to influence naive young people, I'll stick with Uncle Sam where we are one of the few countries where even immigrants can pick themselves up by the bootstraps and become millionaires in a single generation. You should try your luck in Russia, you'll love it. Weather's wonderful.

So no, there would be no capitalistic FKKs. There could however be Frauenhauser staffed by female sex slaves that are run by the fascist state.

Posts: 806Ukraine should be careful when it asks for "freedom" since so called freedom comes with special interests groups, corporate lobbyists, private prisons and increase in mass incarceration, and decrease in standard of living for the middle class assuming the middle class isn't totally annihilated such as it was in the USA.

The USA regime change always ended disastrously:
1. Libya taking away Muammar G. Left a Muslim in anarchy ready for extremists.
2. Syria and taking away Sadaam H. In Iraq lead to Isis and extreme beheadings.
Thus it is better to keep a known quantity who is not going to start a nuclear war.

Posts: 1361It makes me laugh when I learn that grown men message each other about me. Yet despite the amusement, in 2022, having obsessed men talk about you on the internet is a little scary. Frustrated guys like that do things like conspire to kidnap that governor from Minnesota. It's so mental how SiMPS get obsessed by not only women, but also other men.
