They are mistaken. You can hang dong on private servers

That’s not true. On a private server you can hang dong.

so thats a big change of tone here.

No it’s what was said in a previous post. Your lack of reading comprehension in this case is worth noting in light of what follows which is incorrect and inane.

So all your family fought on the side of socialism against fascism and now you spit on their tomb by saying “socialism is just as bad”?

My family fought against totalitarian systems not “for socialism”. The USSR wasn’t socialist and it never planned on becoming that after the communists lost the first election.

My family fought fascists and authoritarians. You back authoritarians who oppress the people. Do you see the difference?

Why do you think your whataboutism will work this time?

hence the “might not get enslaved”. You might not get enslaved in the US system. The USSR was enslaving all in the gulags.

As you have repeatedly backed the evils of an authoritarian racist system are you in a place to judge anyone morally?

Please change, we don’t need more people defending racism.

Not according to people I know who experienced both. In the USA you know your charges and you might not be enslaved.

The USSR was evil and racist. It’s one of the reasons why they failed.

It’s crazy to tell me that the only nation that helped the fight against fascism in my homeland was “evil and oppressive”

No, it is entirely accurate. They did some good and a LOT of evil. Totalitarian states tend to be evil. They were no exception.

Your grandpa, a Jewish man, would have been murdered if it weren’t for the Soviets.

No my FORMER BOSS was in a gulag again without a trial which you seem to be avoiding discussion of.

My grandfathers fought the Nazis in Europe and Japanese in the Pacific. A great uncle fought in Spain and in Germany against fascists both times. MY ancestral history empowers me to fight the evils of totalitarianism, why doesn’t yours?

The very fact that you’re here is because of the 27 million lives that the Soviet Union sacrificed in order to save Europe from Nazism.

Obviously this is not true at all.

No one is in a US prison who has not had the opportunity to be present at their trial or know why they are charged.

The nation I am talking about ceased to exist decades ago so whatever “your country” is it isn’t the USSR which is what we are talking about.

I am not talking about WWII at all because it is irrelevant to the discussion at hand. WWII was over for years by the time he was imprisoned for no apparent reason without a trial he attended.

You are bringing up WWII because there is no moral ground for you to support and justify the USSR’s evil actions otherwise so you keep hamming your irrelevant claim because otherwise you’ll have to accept the USSR wasn’t a good moral nation bit was really quite racist, evil and oppressive (all of which are true).

My degree is in the downfall if the USSR. I have spent a lot of time reading accounts of prisoners. Many never knew because they were not present at their trial.

He has the numbers tattooed on his arm. I know people who knew him in Belarus that I knew separate of him who talked about it.

There were prominent Jews in the politburo. There was also a fuckload of antisemitism as anyone who lived in the USSR could tell you. The USSR was just as racist as every other European nation.

Surely people going to jail for the wrong reason is something exclusive to the Soviet Union and not to all countries with a legal system?

It isn’t common for people to be sent to slave camps as a punishment for years without knowing why they were charged. That’sthe kind of evil unique to totalitarian shitholes like the USSR.

Your boss may have spent his teens in a gulag, but the fact that he lived to tell you that is because the Soviets managed to miraculously defeat the Nazis and prevent them from genociding the Slavic peoples they categorised as “Untermenschen” according to the infamous “Generalplan Ost”, which implied genocide of almost all people between Germany and the Urals. If it wasn’t for the Soviets, your former boss would have been murdered in a concentration camp by the nazis.

The same nation you are praising put him IN a concentration camp for no fucking reason other than potentially because of his race.

Like, damn, I feel sorry for your boss, but in dire circumstances such as those of the late 30s / early 40s in the USSR, excesses and abuses were sadly made because of the overwhelming conditions.

No, you don’t. You wouldn’t be supporting their evil actions in this case if you had any empathy.

You are making a lot of apologies for overt racism, why are you doing this and why do you think the USSR’s racism should be praised?

The diet bit is correct because Soviets typically have less meat and more veggies in their diet as well as less sugar.

My former boss was in a gulag for most of his teens. He was not paid and to this day he has no idea what crime he was convicted of. He just knows he served time and was targeted by guards because he was Jewish and the Soviets were very bigoted.

Maybe take a second to ask yourself what your real life experience is with the USSR.

Actually it is worse because they were better and then actively decided to make things worse.

The maximum hours you can work did not apply to everyone as my former boss has stories of working 12+ hours in the gulag he was sent to for reasons he does not know.

Exactly, at 10 I didnt know what happened but since it wasnt key to the story I did not care.

She is saying “cheese” which causes your mouth to pull up more. What you should say if you want to make an effective smile is sadly “money” as the “ey” on the end cause a slight smile that photographs better.

Like…first off. HOW was that in a kids movie??? Secondly, it’s just there. Like the ghost knew Ray wanted it, and Ray knew to let it happen. Then the movie just moves on, and other than Ray being embarassed to explain he had it happen, it’s never mentioned again.

The kids never quite understood what happened but it was so quick they just moved on.

If that’s buttercream that’s excellent work
