My talk tonight is about the lack of collapse-preparedness here in the United States. I will compare it with the situation in the Soviet Union, prior to its collapse.I watched the Soviet Union collapse, and I have tried to put my observations into a concise message. I will leave it up to you to decide just how urgent a message it is.

      Reducing the USSR to just Russia, claiming that this “Russia” was somehow not ethnically diverse, Solshenizin soloing the USSR - according to the author, the usual ramblings about muh inefficient government factories, the pink lensed idea of how the US handles protest and dissent.

      Yeah, I get what you mean.

        some parts of it sounds like social chauvinism.

      Definitely written by a liberal or worse. But they make great points, outside of calling USSR an evil empire et al ad nauseum
