Wait until you hear about how the colors white, brown, and the line of purples (purple/magenta/rose) work...
Russia has always been... not very tolerant... of Muslims in their borders. Cough cough Chechen genocide ca. late 1700s to 2010s
Please PLEASE fix the inventory mechanics/design
??? are you just resorting to bringing up completely unrelated shit to escape embarrassment? I imagined context could make it clear but mentioning "former communist countries" I was speaking of communist countries in history which formerly existed, but now no longer exist. If I meant countries which were communist but now aren't, I would have specified "formerly communist countries". Why would you even think it was implying that a country being communist in the past means it's leftist in the present? How do you reason that?
Edit: lol apparently @[email protected] or an admin is removing the replies because they speak of Lenin's Gulags, dekulakization, and Mao's Laogai. Funny what kind of comments get removed by .ml mods; apparently not comments trying to suddenly bring antisemitism into the conversation, and not comments pretending that saying sometimes in history leftist governments have interned kids means I must both be anti-leftist and making excuses for the US' treatment of immigrants.
How do you, with a straight face, say "criticizing a communist leader/government means you hate jews"? You are simply resorting to making up "you're an antisemite" out of thin air to invalidate others. I have literally not once mentioned judaism. I don't even know if I've mentioned jews in my entire comment history before you randomly started blaming jews for alleged "anticommunism".
You are using discrimination against jews as a tool to attempt silencing others. You accusing everyone else of being an "antisemite" is your way of avoiding your own responsibility and putting others in a box. Let me guess, you support the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and use "antisemite" to defend it too?
I don't remember a time where kidnapping people and putting them into concentration camps away from their families made something not left, actually it seems pretty common in former and current communist countries lol...
but actually i meant "slightly more left" in the sense of economic-social matters, not... killing or kidnapping people matters. he has done quite a lot to improve social services and lessen the financial fuckedness of many government programs, for example.
Godspeed
Is it suddenly my fault that all you liberals sound the same? I think not... your mind-numbing conformity is on you - not me.
It's your fault when you literally can't read the first sentence in the comment. It's also funny how you say that when you sound literally the exact same as everyone on red-fash reddit & lemmy instances and are literally insulting people by calling them "mind-numbingly conformist". Do you not see the hypocrisy???
Calling random, usually leftist/socialist/anarchist, Lemmy users "liberals" itself is cringe. As well as even using the word "conformist" in this context. You are quite literally just throwing random no-no words at people you don't like after making incorrect assumptions about their political ideologies. What exactly is a "liberal" to you?
Oh, are we backpedalling now? Wasn't this you just a short while ago? "Calling someone a “capitalist Marxist” is fucking gold" Doesn't seem like you're all that certain of your own case all of a sudden - I wonder why?
Holy shit you can't be serious, I literally say the phrase has multiple meanings IN THE NEXT CLAUSE OF THE SAME SENTENCE:
I mean depending on context/connotation of the word it isn't always technically impossible (if that's what you want to call class-conscious capitalists), but in this [context] it certainly is ...
At this point you're willingly ignoring what's right in front of you to be pretentious and try to "win".
It is not an "opinion". It is fact.
Either way, religion has no real life basis, it's not scientific. You can, however, use science to observe the mass murdering of children, destruction of cities, plowing down thousands of neighbourhoods to build highways, caused by SUVs and dependence on cars. The point is that SUV drivers do not respect life because SUVs exist to, and are popular solely to, be the bigger tank in car crashes, have a high hood so you kill pedestrians when you run them over, and endanger the lives of others for your own perceived (and fake) safety, while also blasting out a ton of pollution while you're at it.
If religion is real to someone, they are crazy. Just as we shouldn't entertain the delusions of a schizophrenic as real, we shouldn't entertain the delusions of religious people as real. What matters is the actual observable scientific facts we have available to us, which supports things like ending car-centric infrastructure and not using SUVs and trucks if you don't need them and are just doing errands the city in them like a loser. Civilization's completely fucked by car emissions and SUVs have a higher pedestrian killcount than a hundred 9/11s but hey man gotta drive my kids to soccer practice in a tank, and besides the pastor said the rapture was imminent or something anyways.
Going to an atheism community or science-based community and saying "but religion might be real though, their bigotry is equally as valid as actual facts/science" and expecting anyone to take that seriously at all is crazy.
