I feel like anything that violates human dignity is unacceptable, and degrees only really make sense to determine if we can't work on them all at once. Pointing out that things are worse in the USA is sort of like pointing out that there are people in war zones who'd love to be homeless in australia. There's not really acceptable levels of human misery to dole out, particularly in one of the wealthiest per capita nations that have ever existed in all of human history.
Our education system is crumbling, our wages are completely fucked, our health system is collapsing, we've pillaged our infrastructure and natural resources. Like yeah, it's worse in the USA but that doesn't make it better.
