I remember seeing the historical photos that were taken during holodomor, showing a case of canibalism. Still sends shivers down my spine when I remember it.

Wouldn’t wish it ever happening to anyone…

Corruption often rises from centralizarion of power without having “checks and balances”. So Central economy planning system might be more to blame, than the socialist movement part of communism.

Not to mention, that in a central economy planning system, there is no accurate way for the average Joe to signal on what he needs/wants to be made (talking about consumer items, not base needs).

That kinda creates the need for separate markets to rise to meet the demand, which works without the supervision by the state. The market can’t really self-regulate, so a lot of people end up scammed daily.

Ah… the glory of USSR and the hoops and whistles an average man had to take to buy a shitty radio.

Shit, even if you wanted to have a birthday party, you had to pay extra to get vodka from under the counter.

I guess it’s over for Ukraine… Russia learnt to summon fire elementals

Marichka is always worth an upvote

US and it’s imperialistic crimes are nothing to sneeze at. Not gonna come close to try and justify what they have done (banana wars for ex.) / are doing (terror campaign against it’s citizens for ex.)

Oh cool. 2008 action plan to join NATO. 2014 War with Russia started. Sure the argument could stand there.

But riddle me this, why the invasion? The War never ended, so the argument that Ukraine can’t join NATO stands.

I mean I completely understand why they would like to join NATO, considering how Russia Georgia war started 2008

Vatnik is how I call Russians that support the war by their action/inaction. It’s pejorative. The true origin was a meme if I recall. Although the more I learn about Russia the more I hate the every day Russian

The “rule” is in the constitution. It even explicitly extends the term for parliament of ukraine by 5 years, and by their constitutional law it would be illegal for election to take place. Not to mention that you’re missing the point about what is an election. It’s not enough to put a ballot in the box. You must also provide the possibility to cast it for each citizen without external pressure, otherwise you can’t trust the result. (Imagine if Russian soldiers were sent to collect the ballots with machine guns on their arms whether you’d like to join the Empire)

Ukrainian civilians are bombed daily. It’s not exactly safe for them to vote. Not to mention the other 2 points, before.

NATO neutrality

I’m saying how it is, not what imaginative casus belli they are going for directed to the western audience. There was no way for Ukraine to join NATO due to ongoing conflict that started in 2014, so it never actually mattered for the neutrality question. Otherwise accepting Ukraine would also imply declaring war on Russia or at very least, freeze the conflict at Donbas with Crimea going to Russia.

When I’m talking about a land grab, I mean the idea to restore greater glory of the old russian empire or CCCP. It’s not even hidden by now. Most high level (including Putin) politicians causally talks about it.

The country is rotten to the core. The one positive I heard is that reports about violence against women is actually handled by the police now. Mostly to fill in the vatnik quotas to send to the front.

Considering Ukraine has a rule about not holding an election during crisis (Invasion by Russia), can’t say the country is Undemocratic, mate.

Not to mention that shitload of citizens are all over the world, and another shitton under Russian occupation.

Unless you see those people undeserving of a vote, there is no seriously possible way to hold an election.

Not to mention, that no good leader would allow it’s people to live under the rule of Putin. Life is bloody insane for your average Russian. 40% spent on food alone. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russians-spending-food-doubles-following-ukraine-war-un-food-agency-2022-04-08/

And all this because the largest country in the world wanted more land. They have all the resources they would ever need.

A country that elected it’s leaders and now fights for it’s survival is not a democracy? Lolwut

Ah shit… did an assault start from Transnistria side?

I guess US is truly unhinged by fascist rule if the protests are so small…

Mostly about solar, and how much less human labour/resources it is to power the world compared to oil. For proofs, lots of little calculations. Even choosing values for best case oil and worst case renewables and still resulting that renewables in the long run (25 years) is around 30 times cheaper

Later on goes “nuclear” about how USA is now fascist. And how the citizens should go out and try to actively vote out the orange monkey. Also deserved hate for ICE

yt-dlp works for instagram

Look at the perfect density… The 3 stories provide enough space for children, parents, and grandparents to live together… The big Windows provide ample of light… You can use them to move furniture in!

I guess it could be like that too, thanks

Why the comment? Do you have trouble discerning regular milk from plant-based?
