All medicine free or not and randomly kidnapping kids. You have to go down some wild conspiracy rabbit holes to compare it to the US. fuck russia

What do you mean with that? Nothing can be compared to the USA? Is USA perfect then? Brazil has universal free healthcare too. It doesn't mean Brazil is better than the USA in every possible aspect. Don't be afraid of comparisons.

So because USA is better than Russia in many things, then free healthcare is bad because Russia has it and the US doesn't?

It's this black&white mentality that creates all stupid polarization of opinions, you know?

You’re right. Anyone who genuinely loves their country (whatever their nationality is) needs to be aware of their country’s flaws. You can’t help your society without acknowledging that it needs help.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
