    I spend a lot of time in the US

    I’m over there a few times every year

    I’ve had some amazing experiences there, but I’m talking about the US masses, not the intelligent and worldly individuals

    The average yank is a fucking idiot

    Bright people are always going to be bright. The value of an education system is to help the vast majority of people who are just average

    The US “education” system fails everyone, but those who have natural gifts are able to get somewhere

    Don’t even get me started on the idea that unless something has a dollar figure attached, it is of no value

    The superficial consumerism is bizarre and grotesque, particularly when there’s so much wealth concentrated in one country, yet people die from treatable diseases and starve in the streets.
