Imagine, you are the reason that your own country's worth went down 75% in 8 years and you are like... "I can fix this... I need more time"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 22 hours ago

Weird, I could've sworn it was the embargos that caused that.

8 years? Phhht. Liz Truss wants you to hold her lettuce.

That reference will follow her until her grave I hope.

The beam of light could also be "5 mao per comment."

Never forget Americans put Yeltsin in Russia. The USSR was ready to establish a social democratic union leaving bolchevism behind. Instead, the CIA under Clinton sponsored the fascist, the eastern block had nothing to eat for and now they are whining about russian fascist doing fascist thing?

Lmao america is a pathetic country.

Who the fuck taught you history?

  • The USSR fell in 1991
  • Bill Clinton took office in 1993

Did he use a time machine?

I go to "tankie" instances all the time. Do you know why?

Because they are not constantly whining about other instances. They are doing their own thing while you are busy crying about them lmao

Are you serious? They whine about .world NONSTOP

...you go...to tankie instances... because they don't whine about other instances?

That's the fucking weirdest reason I've heard, ever.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 23 hours ago

Maybe you could do your own thing instead of whining and crying in here.

Sociopathic clown-shoes up here acting like they totally aren't bitch-made "ChAmPiOnS oF tHe PeOpLe'S rEpUbLiC" tryna overthrow NATO with their Molotov-sippy-cups.

Fuck authoritarianism. I don’t care if you’re on the left or right. If your ideology is authoritarian I won’t suppoet you.

Funny. I encountered exact the same thing a few hours ago in post where somebody called South Korea occupied.

Of course I was first downvoted and then banned after I was pointing out some things. They really don’t like the word „tankie“ on Lemmy.ml…

I don’t mind being banned, I wear it as a badge of honour. But they are cowards and hypocrites, which is rather sad.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The mods and admins are truly fragile cowards, it is remarkable. Being banned from .ml is badge of honor which they hand out like candy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You could also proudly get tatooed "I'm an idiot" on your forehead. You know, to warn everyone.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 23 hours ago

I don't know why I'd permanently alter my body because some fragile dipshits need a trigger warning for facts about China. I think it's simpler if you hide in the .ml instance, where you are protected by equally fragile mods.

Look into East Germany right now. People who experienced a pseudosocialist dictatorship, where Putin was stationed as a KGB officer, will now lick Putin's boots. Apparently they want to be controlled by Moscow again.

It's pathetic.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah yes you surely know better than them how bad it was.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

I am East German, you genius.

Ignorance is bliss, it apparently is due in part to how western news is not filtered, or at least is filtered differently ðan in ð soviet days, and is as a result, a lot more stressful to viewers.

Ðey have a nostalgia for media censorship because being bombarded wið daily crime statistics and corruption scandals harshes ðeir mellow.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Maybe something failed to deliver for the people there that made them lose faith in Western institutions?

Some quality of life factors that didn't appear in the metrics we track? An overall shift in role or relevance?

If you're not connecting with an audience, there's more to fixing it than berating said audience and acting surprised when they're not interested in what you're pushing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Yes, and sad. Eastern Germany is really beautiful, it could be such a nice part of the country.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

It's only "imperialism" if it comes from a western country, otherwise it's sparkling authoritarianism.
