Because it’s the symbol of communists around the world?

This is wrong and cope

Should have been ground into chum

russia on both life expectancy (which was already on par with a rapid global and regional improvement trend)

An insanely, blatantly wrong thing to say about a feudal serf-state

The USSR was objectively a good thing and you’re free to return to 90% illiteracy and a 40-something life expectancy if you feel otherwise

That is absolutely the opposite of the truth, as one look at a graph of any quality of life metric from these countries will tell you

“Surely THIS round of neoliberal shock therapy will propel us to greatness” I say as I remove the last of my tendons with a flensing knife. The shareholders weep with joy. I am so enviously streamlined.

My eyes roll out of my skull every time I see some “humanity is doomed, it’s our nature to kill ourselves, if only we weren’t so selfish and shortsighted” spiel, which always ignores the actual structural causes of the problems in favor of some weepy original sin diagnosis.

The rate of growth after 1917 and 1945 is absolutely not on par with the rest of the world, or you would have linked an example to prove it. And if it was on par with the rest of the world, that would still show that communism was indeed not bad.

You have been trained so hard into a negative pavlovian response to all russian stimuli that you’re commenting this under a celebration of nazis being killed. Take a step back and reevaluate some things

It is literally us vs them, with the stakes being the future of all life on earth.

Hell yeah data crystals

The Communists took away all my family’s hard-earned slaves

As the news so helpfully pointed out at the start of 2022, it’s because Ukranians look white

If I’m trying to create anything worth anything you’re goddamn right I’m gonna test my ingredients for purity

I think we tell liberals and conservatives apart in the way that you’d tell two species in the same genus apart

Or honestly, two breeds of the same species these days

As opposed to the very deep thought of “Oligarchy, genocide and climate extinction is the best we can do actually”

You tankies don’t understand, the society with one of the highest suicide rates on earth is actually super happy to be under our thumb
