Yale Professor: "Everyone I Asked In Eastern Europe And Central Asia Says Life Was Better Under Communism


Zero Hedge/Campus Reform: Yale Prof: "Everyone I've Asked...Says Life Was Better Under The Soviets"

Yale University professor claimed on Twitter that all of the people she surveyed in Eastern Europe and Central Asia insisted that “life was better under the Soviets."

“Every single person I have I [sic] asked in Central Asia (and Eastern Europe) over the past decade and a half has said life was better under the Soviets -- 100 percent,” O’Dell tweeted on Tuesday.

O’Dell also detailed that she spoke with an unnamed “Ivy League professor who said coming to America was the greatest mistake of her life & she will be returning soon to her post-Soviet nation [because] neoliberal late capitalism is devoid of all humanity.”

WNU Editor: I have family, friends, acquaintances, business contacts, etc. in eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union that would easily fill my Rolodex with 1,000 names. No one I know is saying that life was better under the Soviets, and many of these people were high officials and the privileged elite when the Soviet Union existed. This Yale professor is lying.

Ouch! “At least we were human.”
Tough stuff for his/her host-nation from the supercilious academic from Slobovia/Siberistan following, I’m sure, an objective, careful scientific career.

What a drab bunch. The photos I see of Russia and surrounding countries is one of modernity. The countryside seems to change more slowly and people migrate to the cities. Especially the young. But going back to the Soviet Union because it was better is hard to accept.

LOL. Its funny how Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, etc are the favored repository for some of the stupidest people in the country. (And their children).

Only an an arrogant ass like this prof could convince herself the Soviet Russia was a fantastic place.

By the way she looks about the same age as AOC.

Oh, now it becomes clear...

Emily Jane O'Dell is being you typical Leftist. She think she is so daring and so avant garde spewing BS.

I know lots of communists. None of them want to go back.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

The Yale professor’s story is unlikely, but not implausible. There are historical examples where freedom was too hard and slavery much easier.

No sooner were the Children of Israel freed from Egypt, but they longed for Pharoah’s “leaks and onions.” It takes at least a generation to learn to be free. The slave mentality lasts long.

Looks like Bogus market research by a biased professor who may be a so called communist.

Please ignore.

I think we should all contribute to a fund that offers free one way tickets to their country of choice! I for one would be happy to pay for these a-holes to leave the country.
