Lol I’m plenty aware Ukraine is Nazi infested, but the downvote stays.

This is a meme comm, not necessarily a political debate comm. The meme isn’t really that high of quality.

200% true, if he dies in office he becomes immortal

soviets often try to steal all the achievements of the country

Thing is that the workers in those countries were Soviet as well. Credit goes to the labor regardless of nationality. The softening of national divisions was a great achievement of both the USSR and Yugoslavian socialist governments. It has been disastrous that those institutions weren’t able to prevail until the current day (they should have evolved instead of been abolished, but I don’t know enough to comment much further).

I don’t agree with the depiction of the USSR as an outside force that developed these countries “for them”. It was an opportunity to come together under one republic and develop.

I think the meme is attempting to disparage the “ungratefulness” of present day liberals in these FSU countries, but I think it lacks nuance to say the least.

I’m so disappointed with the state of tech and the way the “FOSS movement” as flawed as it can be at times is so weak.

Not surprised though, it was just a matter of time (about a decade) after the capital started really flowing that everything was required to go to shit.

Thank you for respecting Democracy ^TM

Is that in reference to the 1930s etc?

I think the meme is low quality and needlessly provocative (no offense OP I guess), but the answer is likely complex. Once the republics are under the purview of the USSR, the resources and engineerong may well have come from elsewhere in the country, even if the construction crews were primarily local people.

I don’t know enough about Soviet construction to provide an actual answer, though.

I think downloading one today is fine as well. It’s possible that it’s going byo get worse in the future, but it’s not like Wikipedia was perfectly “clean” and without its flaws/bias before January 2025. Wikimedia looks like they’re going to offer so e nominal resistance to whatever tf this is, but we will see how it plays out.

Question (that I’m not going to look up), but does wiki have a way to download everything with the change history? Cause in that case you could have an offline copy that you could roll back as far as you’d like.

This could work if you live in Venice or something, but i meant *taking* damnit

It’s good to have a critical understanding of RT’s viewpoints. In this case, like the other user said, it’s Trump driving his own wedge (per usual), so ofc RT will run an article on it.

I think they meant it in a friendly way, in this case. They should clarify though.

Under capitalism, kayaking the time to get to know your neighbors is revolutionary behavior. When things go sideways, the people in direct geographic proximity to you are going to be the ones in best position to support you (and one another). It’s best to start laying that groundwork asap.

Being involved in wider activism is also a grounding and fulfilling. You don’t need to join a revolutionary socialist party like PSL (but you can if you want to go hard), even joining a park cleanup day or something like that is a good place to be.

Anarchist thought is applying criticism to hiearchy and abolishing those that fail tonl justify themselves. Unfortunately people online don’t read their theory and just say whatever they’re thinking.

For me it was that it said “forcing this upgrade may break your system, do you want to force the upgrade?”

And I was like “yeah, fuck it”, then installed mint after my system didn’t come back up (it was time for my annual re-install anyway)

Hey, haven’t used this account in a while, figured I got demodded, but if there’s a need I can fire it back up. I think the instance admins have things under control in general.

It’s not that you’re an idiot, but it’s wise to avoid using a chromium/blink based browser since they are building a dangerous monopoly. Firefox is the best known alternative, but there are a couple other options.

Yeah that tracks, do Google next haha

If I’m making a mistake, I don’t think that would be it. I’ve been observing Bitcoin and its community since 2011.

Right, many Europeans have basic consumer protections lol
