There's no difference to Russ, though. As mentioned, his 5 year, 2 year associate's degree is the equivalent of (at a minimum) a law degree. But a doctorate is really no different either.
Same way there's no difference between Russ and a real Alpha Chad (except the face thing, and that only matters if you HATE THE DISABLED). There's also no difference between a fan making a gesture, like folding paper cranes, to cheer up a pop singer whose mother had been diagnosed with cancer, and some rando writing said pop singer music so she could get him into the Biz. There's also no difference between Taylor Swift herself and Russ, which is why he's entitled to everything she has. No difference between Russ and his Biosis, which is why it's outrageous she got a career in Hollywood while he was on his Mormon mission. No difference between a friend of the family sending flowers to a woman with cancer, and some complete stranger who wants to fuck the woman's daughter doing it. It's not invasive or troubling when someone you know sends you gifts, so why would it be weird for Russ to do it?
At some point in his life, someone told Russ there was no difference between him and a non-disabled person. He also heard that things are going to be harder for him because he's disabled, and also that some people will hate him for no good reason because he's disabled. His mushy brain just mixed all these messages together, is all. So now he thinks he's just as good as literally everyone else, no matter what they've achieved. And not only that, he managed to achieve this level of "just as good" while he was disabled, so he's actually better than everyone else, because he made an effort. And if you don't agree with him and recognize his superiority, you hate him for no good reason, because he's disabled.
He's truly beyond redemption. Also, dumb as a box of rocks.
