Well that’s kind of a weird quirk to have.

OP have you ever been to Kent State? Or Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia? I hear they’re lovely destinations.

The problem with this comic is that it could apply to anything

USSR, I want it back

Social democracy was a false idol anyways, nothing but socialism can work in the long term, socdem always gets repealed by the rich.

I dunno, we have had a non leather sofa in my family home for like over 5 years and it’s fine. Nothing wrong with it to me.

Mostly people like it because it’s expensive and it makes them feel rich. It is more durable than cloth but that hardly matters for most of the things it’s used for.

Poland also did the exact same thing as the USSR did when it allied with Nazi Germany to annex part of Czechoslovakia. I don’t deny that Stalin was an opportunist but nonetheless, despite its failures it was the USSR which did the lion’s share of warfare against the Nazis and ended the holocaust. As for not taking part against Japan, they did invade Manchuria and would have turned their attention on the rest of Japan had they not surrendered to the USA (indeed the USSR entering the war against them was the biggest reason why they surrendered).

I know there’s been a spike in users but like cmon. Lemmy has been running for like 2 years. Hexbear has just migrated over and all of their users are already complaining that the site is terrible.

Leather is murder anyways.

Liberalism is the moderate wing of fascism, etc.

The west also did a ton of non-aggression pacts and friendship pacts with the Nazis. Also; Poland was fascist at the time too.

The USSR did 90% of the work in beating the Nazis though. As for jailing the far right, it sure doesn’t look like it, just look how many of them are running around encouraging stochastic terrorism against the LGBT community.

That’s great, but liberalism as an ideology in the real world is pathetically weak on the right.

Just move somewhere where there’s transport if you can.

They are overloaded, try Lemmy.world

Well… I mean I’m not having kids either, but someone has to to continue the species, nobody needs to eat meat.

Yeah okay, fair enough, I kinda only read the start and end of your post. I guess I agree with you then. I still think the USSR gets too much hate in general though. I vociferously defend the USSR around liberals and attack it around M-Ls lol.

The USSR wasn’t perfect (and Stalin ruined most things that were good obviously) but they weren’t any worse than the USA or the west.

Yes that was my point, easy to criticise tankies but at least they want to do things.
