Can you elaborate on the validation part please? I’m about twice your age, and my assessment comes from comics and memes like this. And it’s scary how close some of these hit.

Holy fuck that’s one giant bell to ring. I got to get diagnosed.

Reading “anti crab” propaganda made me think extra.

Ergo Balkan people are spiritual gurus because that’s their breakfast.

I see more Dutch content than German.

Reminder that your are a lunatic. Use of tryzub as a national/statehood symbol dates back to about a thousand years ago, roughly to the Viking age.

Moreover, even the link that you quote doesn’t say what you say it says.

Of course, Temu is a secret CCP plan to fight unemployment!

Yeah, but that’s a hard fucking no. For example, https://youtu.be/vFII7t9FtO8

Temu is late stage capitalism cancer.

All immediately invest in lemmy stock!

Primo, I respect you and your point of view even if I find it wrong.

Secondo, first sentence is factually incorrect and there are plenty of evidence. In particular about soviets, for starters I recommend you reading memories of Zara Witkin.

Tertio, you find opinions of russians valuable, and simply discard reference to the half a dozen of Independent nations who (willingly or not) share origin story with USSR

Hur Hur Hur Russians good Putin bad. This argument aged like milk since before any of the commenters here were born.

Ok let’s try to revisit it again. Of all the countries that freed themselves of a Soviet dictatorship literally zero want back, or are building ‘socialist’ economies. How about taking their experience as a measure?

Full disclosure, I’m living in a Western social democratic nation and am horrified by the capitalist and/or neoliberal ideologies. I am of a strong belief that neither of opposite ends of political philosophies bring good and prosperity for ordinary people.

Large majority of Russians also want Ukrainians dead in a most fascinating ways. Weak argument.

Large, overwhelming majorities of Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Latvians (hope it’s a word), Moldovans, Estonians, Poles don’t want to let USSR come closer than a shot distance.

Do you guys realize the world is larger than the memeverse and there are real people who lived under “socialist” governments?

Jesus H. Christ, all you need my dear is a holiday in Cambodia.

Wait until you speak to a bass aficionado.

And of course there’s a russian name under such bullshit. This is how they fabricate stories of legal animal and children brothels, and alike.

Yeah exactly, why would you?

This is because if you watch the war closely, you’ll see that russkies are supporting the war. It started with ~140k troops. Now, after losing about 150k to 300k, there are 400k troops. And there’s no active draft, too much of them are collectors contractors volunteered to go and kill Ukrainians.

Is this before or after yet another populist right wing party wins elections?

Funny how attached people become to numbers in internet.

What’s the exchange rate between Lemmy and reddit karma points?
