Makes me think how China could’ve eventually reunited with Taiwan if they just played a long game and didn’t destroy Hong Kong’s autonomy. But instead authoritarian habits kicked in.

Okay, this is low-key hilarious, albeit morbid, considering the essence of the topic. Guy who was brought to power thanks to “Pizzagate” now may risk same treatment, yet in his case - it’d be 100% deserved.

Makes me glad they’re too terminally online to stalk people in real life for writing mean things about Stalin. Because they seem like they’d be up to it

Props for them for keeping decorum, because if I had a job of naming street where Russian embassy is - it’d be “Stinking Vatnik street” or “Snohachestvo street”.

Wastes more Earth’s natural resources than any other country, contributes the most to global warming, uses massive government subsidies to its corporations to undercut concurrent players in market, still has billionaires, fosters raging consumerism in the world.

But most of these things are okay for .ml folks, because “West does something similar too”.

Obama orchestrated “Russia probe” narrative.

• Russia probe told reporters.

These idiots decided to pass a law that places our main anti-corruption agency’s control in the hands of general prosecutor, essentially destroying it’s independency. All in one day, probably thinking nobody’s gonna notice.

Not that everyone was amazed by our anti-corruption bureau’s work anyway, but it’s a huge step back in our progress, and people are on the streets protesting.

Almost everything these fascists will throw at you is a projection - people who do mockery of Jesus’s teachings will call you a satanist, Epstein island club will call you a pedo, people who stole the election will accuse you of doing that yourself, Russia will be “concerned” about upholding democratic principles in other countries, while being the main stakeholder in ruining democracies abroad.

Well, I believe many are just trolls. There was that one Reddit community, that caught my eye, that was mimicking Bernie Sanders support community, that was actually just non-stop regurgitating Russian propaganda, but sometimes covering it up with some left populist slogans.

Was funny seeing them react to Bernie condemning Taco Don for trying to conspire with Pooty.

There is Valetudo project, that spoofs vacuums external cloud connections to your locally hosted server.

Also AFAIK there are vacuums with only Bluetooth connectivity to configure them from a phone, with no Wi-Fi and cloud bullshit.

You’d be better seeing fall of USSR as cautionary tale of letting senile morons run a country to the ground.

Well, we do really hate our government, especially today, these damn morons.

But if anyone approached me and started talking that usual contrarian bullshit about this being not people’s war (when one side clearly intends to once again destroy our independence and enact final solution for our culture) but some “war for interests of oligarchs” or whatever - my eyes will be scanning for any loose bricks in vicinity.

I really hope that there will be some serious warnings to our parliament and Zelensky, not just “deep concerns”. They’ve basically destroyed independence of our main anti-corruption agency and put it under control of main prosecutor. And worst of all, some of deputies voting for that are themselves subjects of active corruption investigations.

There is a long history of anti-China movements catering to the west for sympathy

Now what the hell do they expect of people that China wants to kill or “reeducate”? Who they expect these people to ask for help?

Same thing with Ukraine aligning with West. Guilty of being murdered by Russia.

I also saw some folks claiming they voted Trump to “provoke revolutionary situation”. So there’s also that.

I’d say that if one rounds up a village, drops the people on a ship and sends them off to other continent to have their liberty restricted, possibly also previously killing old and sick ones, who’ve no use for forced labor - that’s definitely a genocide. Specific cultures were absolutely targeted too, because more advanced cultures with somewhat centralized authorities could actually fight back.

I would argue about transatlantic slave trade though. Deaths of millions of people, immense suffering, destruction of societies and cultural erasure. There may have been some cultures that have simply gone extinct then due to people getting hunted for slave trade.

Defending Western civilization against threats from both Progressive Left extremism and global jihad.

Ah yes, the infamous Marxist-Islamist menace.

And in fact, that VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster that it could have been completed with visual traditional VFX tools and workflows.

Yeah, generative AI model that is probably trained on some IP that they probably do not own, will do the job faster. Duh.

That’d be the most pathetic nationalist tankies ever cheered, leagues away from “Hero of the Soviet Union” Gamal Nasser.
