but what do i know. im just some prole. :(
Welcome to cop city.
ussr has been gone for what 30 years?
why do i see memes abt it every fucking day here
tankie bait. They get their knickers in a twist every time.
When clowns stop defending and downplaying the USSR 30 years after the empire collapsed, I’ll stop joking about it!
What academic sources have you read about the internal functions of the USSR?

lol you don’t need a thesis to know that people having to lining up for basic essentials is broke for a superpower.
fuck mate, even in the 80s you couldn’t just go to the store and buy sour cream - they had no plastics industry, so you’d have to bring your own container to a vendor you know that had received sour cream recently, and they’d measure it out into your container.
Estimate go from 40-60 percent of the entire GDP being wasted on defense because you gotta keep those satellite stans under control.
Read- none of note. Personal experience as a volunteer with a refugee resettlement agency and interacting with refugees from Soviet states- a fuck ton.
couldnt you put your effort into something worthwhile? make fun of the current authoritarian regimes instead of trying to “own the
libstankies”I do loathe authoritarians of all shapes, yet nobody crawls out of the woodwork to moan nearly so loudly as when I “own the tankies”, as you put it.
I ain’t religous, but there’s not much use in preaching to the choir!

ah yes, thats why this is posted on lw, to really get those differing opinions!
How I got banned for “spam” on .ml:
If you have suggestions where differing opinions aren’t censored, I’m open to it! Sadly the Soviet approach to jokes is more common than not.

Loathe has an e at the end of it
Meanwhile, the US spends it’s time destroying other countries and installing dictatorships that people flee from and are wondering why the hell there’s such a problem with migrants from said countries.
“But US”
This argument needs to die already. Someone else being bad is not a counter-argument
It’s relevant since the US is an actual, current threat. Arguements don’t happen in a void, what about the fucking thing happening right now is a valid argument under a lazy irrelevant post like this one
“But Russia (China’s ally)”
It’s a well- known fallacy and propaganda strategy.
In fact, the USSR itself used it a lot, typically deflecting any criticism from the US with “but you hang negroes” back when that particular atrocity was a frequent occurrence.
Holy shit this is actually real.
What the fuck lol
As opposed to Trump’s wall which aims to keep people out…
You actually think its to keep people out?
I can’t tell if this woooshed, or slammed too hard into your forehead, so well said!
Thx It’s called a disorder 👌
