Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This shitshow brought all the tankies to the yard in lobste.rs too:

I especially like the dude relitigating the Continuation War from the orthodox Russian historiographical position that the Second World War started on 22 Jun 1941:

Edit I wondered about the curious term "genocide-siege" and lo and behold, reading the Wiki page on the Siege I found this nugget
…and that's one of the dudes personally invited to the site by its main moderator (see, the public invite trees can be useful sometimes).
The tankies are giving each other high-fives and are labelling me as a "Eurocentric Swede" which isn't exactly the insult they think it is.
As a leftist, I don’t think I’ve drunk enough red kool aid to come around on Russia. I just don’t get it.
Have you tried looking in the mirror and repeating the phrase "I am the imperialist and it's not ok"
That's the thing. What Russia under Putin is doing is textbook imperialism, not the weird alt-left definition which defines it as "what the US and its allies does". But hey, mangling and redefining terms is a Soviet/Russian tradition.
Stepping back, take a look at what the Russian duma is legislating and point to the "leftist" content. Just the other day they decided that "childfree propaganda" should be outlawed. Breed more cannon fodder for the Motherland!
Oh I was definitely being sarcastic
damn Poe's
What does it take to cross the line of incendiary geopolitics in this thread?
I actually recently made a little script to preserve the nuggets of ~~wisdom~~shit produced by the esteemed commentariat and then either deleted by them in shame or purged in righteous mod fury.
The deleted comment is this:
Assigned Baikal Electronics employee at birth
Russian defense contractor stans accusing a Finnish guy of being racist is just perfection.
