There was a soviet joke:

A refugee from the sovjet union was not surprised to learn that most of what his government had told him about his country was lies - it wasn't that great.

However, he was shocked to learn that they were telling the truth about other countries.

    The weird incongruous part is that the people on Rednote (up until recently) thought the average American has over a million dollars (due to a weird mistranslation of something our embassy said about the average income from all Americans being over a million dollars), have a house (due to television shows), have free healthcare, and generally live a carefree life. Many people are questioning why there's been such a push to work over here by their friends and family who visit.
