Words matter.
You aren't writing an academic paper. Always use simple direct language.
- Help the poor
- Healthcare for everyone
- Good treatment at work.
Don't use complex words.

Americans are one of the most gullible populations on Earth. Russians are worse...but Americans are not far behind.
Russians may actually be less gullible. Read an interesting article on the subject of Russian propaganda. They know it's bullshit, always have. The government lies, and that's life. Twist is, they view Western media as exactly the same level of propaganda.
tl;dr: Most Americans can't seem to apply critical thinking. Russians don't bother.
Lol! That's an interesting take. I've never thought of it like that...but it does fit.
Wish I could forward you the article, been a few years. Yeah, that woke me. Russians, of whom I am not a fan, aren't as dumb as they're made out. They're simply jaded as fuck.
