    After a long, drawn out coma caused by being slammed over the head with Calculus textbooks, Jeff was sent to a Gulag hospital. At this point, after being imprisoned for what seemed like a millennium, it was over. Finally, Jeffy boi was released from the Gulag with merely a few stitches and a rudimentary knowledge of productive time management. He was ready.

    Common mistake, I have every blanket I’ve ever been given as a kid kept in a box to this day. My old blues clues blanket? Still have it. My scooby doo blanket? Still have it. The torn up quilt my grandma made for my tent birthday? Still have it. The farm animal blanket my mother swaddled me in as a baby? Still have it. Now when the Colorado winter hits I just get all 13 of the blankets I’ve ever had in my entire life, put them on top of my bed and sleep with the windows open no problem. I have a similar system for pillows.

    I have a romanian friend that lived in a dorm built during communism. He had no tuition to pay, as many students enter on grades (you have to pay only if there are not enough paid seats).
    The monthly expense for the dorm was at that time less then 200 RON (basically 40 USD). Considering no tuition, my friend had to additionally pay for food and supplies; though many students would get food from their parents. Otherwise, there were several school cafeterias that offered "decent" food for a few dollars worth.
    The dorm was very old, rooms with 2 people (some dorms have with 4), bunk beds with matresses, one small wardrobe, one table, 2 chairs, one sink. Heat during winter was high enough you would need to open the window. Heat during summer was brutal, no AC. The toilets were communal and outside the room; walk down the hallway to them. The toilets were squat style (most often dirty; many students seem to be too drunk or too stupid to not shit besides the hole); showers were cabins with a literal pipe as the shower head; press a button for water to come down; the button has a timer so it stops.
    After the people in power realized that an educated working class is a bad idea, they stopped offering free or subsidized college.
    So really, the USA just hates students. And is not just college ones either; food in USA schools is terrible (less than 2 dollars per meal).

      Source? Please if you're going to make up something so obviously incorrect at least do it about NK because they at least don't have droves of information on them. Also this isn't similar to the gulags which were prisons that typically weren't near churches (which Stalin was also anti religion, which was a mistake). There are so many holes in this and you don't have to say everyone died in gulags to know that they were bad and not to be replicated but I don't see you having this energy for gulags that were objectively worse and in the current year in the US with their constitutionally valid slave camps or maybe listening to the conditions he was in due to underfunded, privatized education that was in your mind at all relatable to prisons. I genuinely hate anti communist rhetoric because it kills two birds with one stone, distracting you from the people harming you while attacking the solution.

      Much like 1984 they have no knowledge of or care to actually tell the story of the USSR and only use it as a device to push their message. (Albeit comparing your living conditions to a "gulag," even though it just sounds like a dramatized retelling of the life of the soviets when dealing with Nazis, is very different than being a fascist propagandist but still they are both inaccurate and heavily dramatized, they worked 6 8 hour days not 12 hours at most, it was later lower than the 40 hour work week we have now and much lower than more than 40 hours many people work now)
