@genmaicha Stalin was just neglectful too. 💅

I like that euphemism. I'm gonna' start incorporating that sarcastically into my vocabulary. @icedquinn @freepatriot

Because the neighbors painted their house the wrong shade of tan and we just can't be having that!

@freepatriot I don't know what Americans are embracing tyranny or what this post is in reference to. Realistically speaking, too ("tyranny" or otherwise), the USSR was the most prosperous, progressive, and equitable period in Russian/Eastern European history with the highest average standards of living and life expectancy, etc.. Nazi Germany was pretty short-lived. Cambodia was wildly short-lived and insanity.

@adiz @icedquinn @freepatriot some of the tsars were pretty neglectful, but Stalin deliberately killed off tons of people on a scale never seen before
@genmaicha @freepatriot @adiz he had some pretty deeply set personal damage and took it out on everyone yeah.

i dunno much about trotsky but he kind of seems like the guy who had too much heart and got shoved out by the guy who just really liked killing people

@icedquinn Trotsky was a total psycho piece of shit. So glad that guy got ice-picked. Stalin did fucked up stuff, no doubt. But, similar to Mao, Russia wouldn't have become what it became industrial-wise and developmentally had he not. Now, granted, there was a lot he didn't have to do and he could have been a lot less fucked up in order to get Russia there. @genmaicha @freepatriot

You know that you live in the Twilight Zone when Americans look you in the eye and say that the US debt is only due to infrastructure investment and not because of welfare and war spending.

Tyranny didn't work out too well for the USSR, Nazi Germany, and Cambodia so why are Americans embracing it?
