  • It’s relevant in that you are still uncritically repeating the propaganda of the empire that did it, using terms you don’t understand from books you haven’t read, while being a dweeb to people who have. If it was 2002 you would be calling people Saddam-lovers for not believing the US government’s line of bullshit.

    the dissolution of the ussr was the biggest historic disaster in the past 50 years.

    Oh hey look everybody, the day has come when everyone was always against this

    Edited to be less demeaning


  • Okay, I looked up a survey of some Russiansedgeworth-shrug

    According to the Levada Center, an independent pollster, most Russians have consistently regretted the dissolution of the USSR. In 2020, 60 percent of respondents expressed regret and 63 percent believed that the dissolution could have been avoided; 49 percent of those polled named “destruction of the USSR” among the twentieth-century events that evoked in them feelings of shame and sadness; and 75 percent believed that “the Soviet era was the best time in Russia’s national history, with a high level of prosperity and opportunities for ordinary citizens.”

    Huh, would you look at that









  • If all it takes to provoke the NYPD is to say what everyone else already knows, and what everyone else was supporting you for saying, what value is there in continuing to walk on eggshells around such fickle and unpopular people compared to just continuing to say the popular thing? They weren’t gonna be on a socialist’s side anyway, they work for the landlords.

    Now that they know he can be bullied, they aren’t gonna stop. They’re like wild animals, you can’t show weakness











  • Okay, let’s place the blame on the individuals. Now what? We imprison them in a neverending cycle while ignoring the conditions that created them? That would be like mopping up the blood forever from a hospital floor while doing nothing to suture any wounds. The problem with a myopic moralistic view is that it is incapable of actually changing anything, or even understanding how things come to be. All it tells us how to do is sit in judgement of individual ripples, not examine undercurrents.
