While Egypt did practice slavery, evidence suggests the pyramids were built by well-fed craftsmen.

Yeah, and a lot of the 56% college grad rate is boomers who were educated before the fall and are now dying off. We will see it drop precipitously in the next 20 years or so, and the quality of the education of the newly graduated decline.
China currently churns out more college graduates than any other country, and the rate is increasing.
And they had a hell of a way to go given that it was less than 1% when they took over.
America is still slightly ahead of Russia there, due to the legacy of the USSR. Not that Russia's billionaires aren't doing their best to privatize education and keep it out of reach of the peasantry since the fall of communism.
People here seem pretty happy. I guess thd government should do something about the youth unemployment rate, but the average chinese I see on the street seems to be leading a more fulfilling life than the average american. People can afford rent, to go out and eat every day, and save a little, I dont know anyone back home like that.
The first pm of Israel was a genocidal terrorist. This is the status quo for states built on genocide.
State-run media with a conservative bias (despite the conservatives being their greatest threat). They're fine for this type of reporting, but they immediately roll over whenever a conservative accuses them of reporting reality, and any reporting on a perceived enemy is hilariously distorted.
