  • You dronies are so transparent. You only come out to decry X country as soon as the US or its vassals attacks it. Then its all both sides bad.

    No country is perfect, but Iran is doing what very few countries are brave enough to do rn, and defending themselves from the child-killing scourge of the middle east.

    Even if you oppose Iran's sovereignty or its theocracy, you'll have to admit that Iran's theocracy does far less harm than any given western country does.

  • For the 1800s (and probably earlier), definitely. Someones needs to make the equivalent of the list of US atrocities but for the UK.

  • And a bunch of dronies in other threads are going on about how "authoritarian" insert X US enemy country is.

    No other country has committed more atrocities and wreaked more havoc on the world than the US in the 20-21st centuries.

  • Gemini is such a great idea (or any web browser that's basically as simple as reading markdown documents.

    Mainly what it needs, is a service to convert existing web pages to its markup, either on the fly, or an archive.is type service, so that ppl can have a safe web experience.

  • The finders keepers rule of colonizers. We stole it, but you wanting it returned is stealing it too! /s

    It's not up to you or me, or the israeli colonizers as to what happens to Palestine. That should be decided by the palestinian people themselves.

  • Settler colonialism a form of imperialism (theft of land, labor and natural resources of a weaker country by a stronger one), where the stronger country sets up a military garrison, and evicts or enslaves the local population. This is border conflict to halt the ever-eastward march of NATO.

    The accusations of "russifying the ukrainian language" is pure projection; its the banderites who (with NATO help, Obama bragged about this one) couped Ukraine in 2014 (and who were killing thousands of civilians in the donbass) that have been attempting to make spoken russian illegal in the country. They've also been reviving nazi collaborators and building monuments to them as fast as they can.

    It was the Bolsheviks (Stalin especially) who strongly supported the creation of a Ukrainian state, as it had a distinct national, lingual, and cultural character, while the western nations were opposed to Ukrainian sovereignty (The fascist dictatorhips of the 30s were essentially at war with all slavic peoples). Modern Russia wants to preserve Ukraine as a buffer state (as it was before 2014). There are many ppl more knowledgeable on lemmygrad and hexbear, that could give you a long background on this conflict.

    Modern imperialism (usually) takes a different form from classical colonialism, but even with that definition, Russia can't be called imperialist as it fits none of the traits.

  • I can't find it, but there's a cool infographic / image that has all of them. I could only find one for the hammer and sickle variations:

    Nepal for originality:

  • Every time I go to a bidet-less house, and see that they're going as unwashed as a 5th century peasant

  • Eastern Ukrainians weren't grateful to be bombed by NATO-funded banderites for several years in the donbass, nor were most Ukrainians glad to have their government overthrown in a US-backed coup in 2014.

  • You're not going to find many books to the effect of, "see how hegemonic we aren't", so you mainly need to look at how the ussr treated republics within it, and especially preserved national minorities.

    The USSR academy of sciences published works in many languages, same for the state publishing houses.

    There are also some longer works on the languages of the USSR, because there was such a diversity of them and the constitution mandated their protection, but I haven't read them.

    Compare with the US (wiped out every indigenous language), or the UK (tried to do the same for Irish and Welsh). It's always projection with these anticommunist westerner historians.

    You can see the diversity here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_Soviet_Union

  • You trust an anti-communist british ambassador at their word?

  • We do have a this is a bot account user setting, and it's possible to block bot accounts so you never see them.

    But a profanity bot seems pretty useless to me.

  • The soviets did not expand russification, it was the opposite. They preserved and made official tons of minority languages (yiddish comes to mind), even establishing publishing houses in these languages. In addition to the SSRs that preserved the national identities and cultures of the given republics, the soviets instituted protections for minorities within these ssrs.
