@SailusGebel , it's the Russian analog of classical straw man fallacy. It's from old comedy scetch by Arkady Raykin. I can provide a link for video, but it's, obviously, in Russian. My previous post was reaction to Assurbanipal's post with straw man fallacy.

Bruh, this is lame. You don't even know my opinion on the topic. In fact, there was no topic. I simply tried to make a joke about how you phrased stuff. Yeah, the joke might've been unfunny, but it's not a valid reason to write this. Well, whatever.
:blob_ghost: This post exemplifies my point perfectly. The irony. Anyway, I was a bit rough with you. :blob_gift::blob_cookie: Consolation cookie?

It’s kinda like how Chinese kids are learning how to put guns together while American kids are being taught about gender and that it’s okay to cry for little things.
I thought it was ukranian kids not chinese kids that were being taught how to maintain guns? Or are we thinking about different articles/news storys?p

Both.
Basically our kids are being taught stupid shit while other countries are teaching them practical defense techniques.
Either way though, the education system of the soviets shows one thing, it doesn't matter how good the 'government education is.' Society will crumble if people don't have the right values and incentives.

USSR crumled from top, not from bottom. So, it has nothing to do with people.

Not true.
USSR crumbled because there were internal problems that the top felt couldn't be addressed with their current state of affairs. Therefore they began democratization and a presidency. To say it has nothing to do with the people is wrong, but you are right in saying it was a decision by Gorbachev.

Saying it's just a top thing is disingenuous and oversimplifying everything.
