The US higher education system has been a massive source of soft power for the United States.
If we have the best and brightest from around the world come here to study, one of two things happen.
1) They stay, and we win the brain drain.
2) They go home, and bring democratic values with them.

I think we have different views on Democracy around the world.
I am brazilian, lived in other countries in south america, experienced US for 2 and half year and now i Live in europe. I compare to these countries. And i also know that asian countries have different perspective on democracy.
See. It depends. So different.
It’s an argument about soft power, expressed so the congresspeople I write to can understand. I should have rephrased it for Bluesky.
Still, on bsky nasty quote tweet dunks get blocked.
Limiting the number of international students is another way the Trump MAGA administration is planning to attack colleges and universities.
Which is weird, because this is a pretty important export for the US.
There are no words to describe the damage that US-endocrinated Economics students have done to Third World countries. Build the fucking wall.
I don't disagree.
*sigh*
1. Rank choice voting is more democratic
2. Sugar tastes better than corn syrup
3. Truth is more important than freedom when it comes to speaking lies.
If a Dutchman goes to the states and stays, he suddenly has less choice in choosing who governs him.
