Obligatory reminder that the USA has been doing often genocidal colonialism and imperialism since the very beginning and that it was a huge inspiration for fascist Germany.

E.g. Manifest Destiny, which shaped Generalplan Ost, the racial discrimination and segregation laws.

Also US capitalists like Henry Ford, who got the highest award possible for foreigners by Hitler himself, funded German industry and their war machine…

    Vibes. There’s a reason why the U.S. has so many International students.

    Additionally, the low test scores are because the U.S. gives a relatively equal education to every child. Other countries just end up weeding bad students out and they don’t take the tests.

      uh…this isn’t exactly accurate anymore lol. International enrollment has fallen off a cliff. I dunno if numbers have been officially released yet, but chatting with my friends in admissions offices for some pretty big universities, they’re seeing reductions of 70-80%

      Are you suggesting that US universities having many international students, means US education is the best in the world?

      Given only 16% of Harvard students are international, but 43% of Oxford students are international, does this mean than that Oxford is almost 3 times better than Harvard?

      the low test scores

      Which test?

      Other countries just end up weeding bad students out

      According to whom?
