You should think a little about your automatic reation on the word "junta" with "they are no doubt brutal" and where it comes from. Those particular juntas enjoy the widespread support and acceptation in society and are much less brutal to it than your average western (not to mention comprador) "democracy".
In socialist Poland both were used, but "comrade" (Towarzysz/Towarzyszka) was the honorific for member of the party while "citizen" (Obywatel/Obywatelka) was used for everyone else in official situations. Most people still used the "Pan/Pani" (Mr/Mrs) though, which was a bit reactionary because in Polish language this word does not even come from the bourgeoise honorific "Master" but from the aristocratic "Lord".
the Nazis stormed the Ukranian SSR and in taking it cut off the bulk of food production from the rest of the USSR. This led to prisoners getting less food than citizens, and many starving to death.
Not fun fact: at the same time nazis were murdering so many people in USSR that comparing to the gulags: USSR lost nearly 14% of population and the average gulag mortality rate during the war was probably around 10%. Meaning being in the gulag was statistically safer than being outside during the war (statistically because for example people in Siberia were safe from nazis while Belarussian SSR lost one third of entire population).
Also yet another comparison, in Russian Empire before revolution katorga (forced labour) had usually over 40% mortality.
Bruh, i live in fucking Poland, literally everyone around is shitlib or fascist and any kind of socialist thought is tightly censored in non stop anticommunist onslaught in every possible media, so you can take your plurality posturing and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Yeah. Before there were mostly few people in threads. Abovementioned shitlibs were not very numerous too, just few recurring nicknames and few others getting banned and coming back under new nicks every few days.
Even before there were several instances like beehaw or sopuli regularily coming out with shitlib takes (and they still are, some comments below in this thread there is a sopuli user alluding genocide denial and whitewashing nazism).
This one definitely scrambled their brains like eggs, but most of times they are exactly like the meme that says "liberals are against every war except the current one". Even Gaza genocide is not an exception because while more liberals than usual is against it, a lot are for it including their entire political representation.
Not counting lemmygrad and hexbear most of lemmy instances is completely liberal, at best radical liberal. I seriously doubt your statement about being communist if you call for more centrism and think we need more rightwing info.
You want more rightwing? Go anywhere else in the internet, there's full of it everywhere. What is lacking everywhere else, is communist point of view.
I played original game and watched first two animes but despite the nice character designs and overall nice looks of art, the plot was kinda boring. I never felt the urge to watch/play more ever since.
This is btw political trap set by the PiS for the PO government. PM Tusk agreed so shit is hitting the fan as it is (there was already a demonstration in Warsaw which is pretty rare in Poland), but if he didn't agreed his pals from EU, especially German ones would decree him as "antisemite". Not to mention Netanyahu didn't even declared that he would actually come.
Everything is even more spicy because PiS (president Duda's party) is the second most antisemite political formation in Polish mainstream.

Do they want to slap a military base there or something?
Already done long ago, US military Thule base was illegally founded on the island in 1941-43 to the protests of Danish government. And of course the building of the base seen the local indigenous tribe forcibly relocated twice (leave it to the US to find some people to ethnically cleanse even in one of the most sparsely inhabited regions in the world). And the base is huge, at one point it had 10000 personnel though nowadays it's way less, possibly around 600.
They don't need to till all that land, nor to stand a border guard every 50 meters. They are gonna sustain themselves just as they were previously. You don't think they were doing nothing and all the food etc. were delivered from Denmark?
