there are places in the states that breed as much hardships has dagestan. Yes we have more coddled babies, but we also have more blue collar down and dirty communities you might never see if your whole experience in america is gated communities and safe spaces. there is a grit to america a lot of people don't see. thats why we have the best fighters. i guess what i mean is that the states breeds some bad motherfuckers.
also, I love the "tough soviet struggle of a life" archetype people have. Bearing thousands of feet of snow, fending off grizzly bears and being raised to sambo from age 1. Like lol, they are developed countries with the same diversity in life as america.
