Do you have any idea how hard it is to sit on your ass until the end of the month and then carry all those checks to the bank and sign them all? Think of the poor landlords and their signing hands! 😢

elinks, of course

Sigh I'll go plan the funeral arrangements

Shit, Russia is communist? Why didn't the Central Committee send me the memo?

"Wait why is that pirate flag glowing?"

Unfortunately I think a good percentage of people on Lemmy, especially in lemmy.world, are quite comfortable with that

While I'd normally contentedly eschew civility in favor of directness and accuracy, a bit might be warranted in the event of genuine discussion between honest actors.

That being said I'm not genuinely convinced of SkyezOpen's capabilities towards civility nor honesty as an actor.

OK, so you're really gonna say he didn't do anything bad. Cool.

Yeah, straw men are really easy to beat up. I'm saying no damage he did was irreparable by a president or party that actually wanted to fix it.

Unrelated, how do you feel about Mao or Stalin? Just curious.

All leaders are a mixed bag. Stalin is why Hitler is dead and the Nazis were defeated but also why gay rights in the Soviet Union got set back. Mao killed off much of the horrendously abusive landlord class (which was somewhat similar to a minor nobility in China) but was a bit of a Luddite. His struggle sessions were also incautious enough that even the future General Secretary of the party, Deng Xiaoping, was caught up in one.

I think it's irrelevant. An actual denazification that isn't just a blanket mass killing of Nazis and non-Nazis alike would be an expensive and painstaking process that modern Russia is neither capable of nor interested in.

Russia isn't actually doing a denazification. This is just a textbook imperial land grab. They're just doing it before NATO can, and the only thing that would actually stop it would be a nuclear war that leaves the whole world dead.

What's your question?

I made an accurate point. What's your point?
