Picked up some ‘busted’ laptops from a mate’s work clearout (they were decommissioning a building. I also got nine pine64’s and two r202s, mate got a full rack cabinet lol)

One new nvme and one disk repair later and i have a pair of vaios

Hell even Obama was right wing to many countries.

…this was before we all dove headfirst into facism as a trauma response

I literally pissed a slow day at work away pointing out the many, many flaws in the USSR to a lemming whose primary response was LALALALA I CAN’t HEAR YOU, GO READ THIS BOOK

There is definitely a cadre of extremely disillusioned and extremely ill informed users who think the USSR was legitimate sunshine and candy communism

yeah I’m not taking homework assignments from someone who thinks I’m trying to ascribe souls to states lol.

It was not genocidal either.

Do you know what decossackization was.

Do you know what the Kazakh famine was.

Do you know what the Holomodor was.

Do you know what the Finnish, Estonian and Polish Operations were.

Do you know what the Khaibakh massacre was.

Do you know what the Deportation of the Crimean Tatars was.

Do you know what the Sumgait pogrom was

the utter irony is what killed the USSR is reforms that would have brought it into line with how you THINK it operated. In reality it was an imperialist genocidal monolith that ran roughshod over many of its “member” states that were in fact for the most part occupied territories. Lets be very clear about that right now.

I have no idea what timeline you are dealing with, but I would also like to remind you that a forcibly oppressed population is not consent. And as soon as the repression began the lift, the riots for independence started and countries broke away. The fact that even after the dissolution of the USSR the majority of former member states wanted absolutely nothing to do with a “free” Russia should be a very large hint for you.

I was not talking about wealth disparity. I was talking about quality of life. This is very well documented.

The founding member states of the soviet union were Belarus, the Russian SFSR (roughly what we consider to be Russia today), the Transcaucasian Federation (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia), and the Ukraine. You know that “union” part of USSR? Yeah, it actually refers to a union of states. And they were the ones who pulled the plug.

Everyone replies with ‘thanks’, ‘nailed it’. ‘Holy shit that’s perfect’

What the actual hell

Izzard nailed it.

And Hitler ended up in a ditch, covered in petrol, on fire, so, that’s fun! I think that’s funny, ‘cause he was a mass-murdering fuckhead. And that was his honeymoon as well!

Whole lotta people shouting over actual marginalised peoples in this thread…

The baby icon next to your nick is just 👌👌

Could be your chance to know what it tastes like without being a heretic. Loophole baby!

Use a clonezilla boot usb. I did exactly what you’re trying with clonezilla: 16gb partition on a 128gb ssd to a 64gb ssd. The clone disk is in a production machine rn and has been for two months.

So you’re just gonna pretend the massively documented body of evidence that as a generation boomers have had access to unprecedented privilege in human history regardless of demographic and have also overwhelmingly implemented or voted in systems that have destroyed that framework doesn’t exist.

You don’t vote for perfection, you vote the party in you can negotiate with

Lmao the cops take four hours to send someone then say she was just being dramatic in that scenario

Of course they are. It’s a narrative. Now they have a reason why they lost.
