I remember being in college and seeing ads for what were obviously torturers in Iraq. You show up there and torture various Iraqis for info on anti-American militants, of which there were many. But yeah, we're super into "human rights." We're allies with lots of countries that arrest large quantities of people for tweeting politically incorrect things. We're also allies with plenty of people that are much worse than what is going on Russia. I mean we support AQ running Syria (you know, the guys that were pals with OBL).

it’s the lib dream |
|
Date: April 30th, 2025 1:06 AM Author: turbofag Stalin killed less than 1-5% of the population. Hitler killed 5-10%. We could argue about these figures all day but there's no way they killed all the decent people.
To wit Boris Yeltsin's grandfather was a Kulak and he was able to get away with lying about it. Realistically it was impossible to kill everyone who didn't like the State. And then you have subsequent generations who grow up and have their own opinions.
I think it's something much more endemic than it was Soviet action. Russia sucked in the 18th and 19 centuries too. I like the pumos theory that the aristocrats were living in the first world but everyone else was a caveman. Makes more sense than Stalin killed everybody with a brain. He killed lots of people but many more weren't killed. |
|
Date: April 30th, 2025 1:14 AM Author: Trump Tariffs Can Do No Wrong (TDNW) almost the entire ruling and management class under the Tsar was chased away and the psycho peasants were put in charge
they spent decades chasing down intellectual, scientists, basically anyone smart enough to see that the Soviet experiment was going to be a monumental disaster. millions of others were sent to exile or the gulag and they were broken
then you have the mass murders of military officers and anyone competent who could threaten leaders above them
so the system selected for amoral brutal people (some smart, many dumb) who would do anything the system required, no matter how sick and twisted. so you end up with spineless mobs of people, just like the ones you see in Ukraine who mindlessly follow orders, even when they know they are walking into certain death |

Date: May 1st, 2025 4:16 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. 1) The assumption isn't entirely accurate. Moldova, for example, is poorer. But many are wealthier too.
2) Instability and corruption are toxic for growth.
3) 2 resulted in massive brain drain. If you look at migration, Ukraine lost a ton of people since the fall of the USSR. When you meet "Russians" in the US, a huge number of them are actually from Ukraine. Far more than from Russia despite Russia always having had a much larger population.
4) Their "pro-western" government resulted in a stupid situation where they broke off their relations with Russia which is historically by far their largest trading partner without EU/US trade compensating. So they're effectively living off of Western crumbs. The same problem exists in places like Armenia and Moldova. This was also a reason why Georgia got sick of the bs and elected a pro-Russian government.
Regardless, we're talking about the damage the Commies did, which includes deliberately balkanizing the Russian Empire which planted the seeds for the numerous conflicts we see today. |

Date: May 1st, 2025 4:19 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Commies didn't make Ukraine poor. It's pretty obvious Ukraine does that by itself, all the time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5718298&forum_id=2#48896947) |
|
Date: May 1st, 2025 4:29 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. Everyone was poor at the end of the USSR. Part of that was because Communism never worked, part of that was because as shitty as it was there was a huge recession at the end of the Commie era. Then that system largely crashed and capitalism didn't really take root either and was largely limited to importing Western goods which they had no ability to pay for. Some countries ultimately made money by becoming outsourcing centers for Western companies. Poland is like that. For anyone that thinks I'm being unfair - name a Polish company you buy stuff from.
Russia had a lost decade in the 90s during the Yeltsin era. Only during the Putin era did they start developing their own companies and technology.
Ukraine basically had constant strife. Their own companies couldn't be started because anyone good left. Everyone thinks the Stalker series is a cool video game series, right? Not Ukrainian anymore. The company left Ukraine a while ago.
Long term Ukraine is also fucked because the war basically killed any green shoots they had. Another huge wave left, then another huge wave died or was gravely injured. And there is no end in sight. |

Date: April 30th, 2025 11:57 AM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... Because throughout Russia's entire history, it has been an autocracy where the czar held all power (whether that was an actual czar of the Communist party leadership or Putin). As the long as the czar keeps himself happy and enough of his buddies happy that they don't launch a coup against him, the rest of the country doesn't matter. Hence Moscow and St. Petersburg are basically a playground for Putin and his oligarch buddies while the rest of the country is SPS. As long as they get their dachas and caviar dinners, they don't give a fuck that 70% of the country is still shitting in the woods.

People were fleeing Ukraine to get to Moldova and Romania, it was that bad. This was many years before the war. I've also never seen more old soviet cement shithouses still standing than in Ukraine. Parts of Romania are like that but Ukraine is old and shitty looking all over. When Kherson was being contested I tried to find pics of Kherson, just to see what it looked like in its prime. Jesus. The roads also look worse than any I've seen in Eastern Europe, not even paved in many places. There's an austrian movie called Import/Export that was shot on location in Ukraine and it's hard on the eyes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5718298&forum_id=2#48892507) |
