  • The UK and France didn’t commit to jack shit. They had a long history of enabling the Nazis at that point, planning to use them as their attack dog in the east. Not only that, the USSR had been pleading for an anti-nazi alliance for a long time and got ignored.


  • Well well well. How quickly one goes from “they should have done everything perfectly and not even buying time is morally acceptable, deplorable stuff really” to “oh my god what’s a little Nazi collaboration between friends? Everyone was doing it anyway”

    Very unserious and deeply ahistorical. If you can see a parallel between the USSR’s end and the end of, say, Nazi Germany or Pinochet’s Chile, let alone the US and China rn, you have been watching too many infographics show and not been reading nearly enough.

    Without Linux folk you wouldn’t have Lemmy. Nobody’s forcing You to switch, you can pay as much attention to Linux posts as any other shit you’re not interested in (that is, none) rather than making it a whole thing.

    I switched to KDE Neon lately and holy fuck does it chug down my battery in a few hours time (though most of the consumption is from Firefox so can’t blame it completely on the distro)

    Given that cowbee has very kindly provided a source already I just wanna clarify that I didn’t mean a clash among terrorists themselves, but among them and the government, I just lost a few words in the process of rewriting the sentence.

    Speaking of, why are you talking about America at all, while telling people to “shut up about the foreigners”.

    Peak gringo deflection. Because unlike USians speaking about countries they’re actively, openly sabotaging, the rest of the world should be able to criticize the one government trying to fuck us all in the pursuit of having everything for its ruling class forever. I’ll stop talking about the US the moment y’all fuck off and stop stealing all our wealth through your financial and military apparatus, or spreading torture and terror through proxies because it’s “the strategy” only to use it as an excuse to talk about us like animals. I’d be happy to never again remember your shit stain of a country.

    You are from that country, tho. So do something about that or shut up about the foreigners.

    Not to mention, “Tiananmen Square massacre” is a fabrication from US and their UK media lackeys in the same way they fabricated the beheaded babies and the Nayirah testimony and literally too many instances to name.

    What happened was a violent clash between the government and US sponsored terrorists trying to hijack a wide-tent protest which dissipated quickly after the violence started. The US kills and has continued to kill more people than that on a weekly basis for decades, without even the veneer of legitimate self defense. Kent State massacre, the entirety of COINTELPRO, MOVE bombings, the killing of the Ferguson protesters.

    There’s one person in jail RIGHT NOW for every 200 in the US. Cops kill black and latino people on camera, unprovoked, following horrible displays of cruelty, then flaunt it in your face that you’re gonna pay for them to do it again.

    Shut up about china or anywhere else in the world that isn’t funded by your government fr.


  • I never said Mao didn’t have his share of blame, but to claim he’s a monster responsible for unspeakable misery not a paragraph after downplaying Churchill’s genocide is pretty rich. The Great Famine was gonna happen regardless, it was just made worse by the attempts to prevent it, but the party immediately intensified efforts to make sure it never happened again. Can you say the same about British rule in India?
