The statement engages in a discussion about political ideologies, referencing a Soviet university experience to comment on a public figure's statement about collectivism. It implies skepticism or disbelief about the direction of the discourse.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not directly harm but implies criticism of the public figure's stance.
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   It respects privacy but could be seen as dismissive of the public figure's dignity. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it leans towards disbelief and criticism. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   It engages in criticism but lacks constructive dialogue, focusing on disbelief rather than discussion. [-1]
