Ah yes, the most reliable of sources: Tulsi Gabbard.

Lemme just gun you down, Americans have committed so much crime around the world that I can’t be sure you’re not one of them child murderers.

Dooooo iiiiiiit, Hades is so fucking gooooood

100% AI. The controller and the games give it away

Shooting illegal migrants is one hell of a take, especially from an American.

Oh look, it’s the white supremacist shit head ^^

My main contact with ml circles were a reading group some years back and hexbear. Unfortunately, I missed the lively debate there. Sentiments like “if you suffered under the Soviet Union, you deserved it, because only fascists suffered” were much more common than any discussion of how fucked up the ethnic cleansings of the party were under Stalin. Or how the great purge in general weakened the Soviet Union.

The prison system was bad. As were many other prison systems at the time. It’s undeniable that they were used for political intimidation and sometimes even petty personal revenge (see the whole Lysenko-affair). Shutting down the discussion around with "“Gooolag hundreds million dead” isn’t helpful either.

As for repealing for example the decriminalization of homosexuality, this was done in the interwar years between the civil war and WW2.

I don’t think it’s reproducing CIA proganda to say that Stalin’s leadership had a negative impact on the project of the USSR.

Guess there are many fakers in .ml

I don’t like the couch fucker either, but you do realize that’s a joke, right?

There is a small group of accounts on .ml who keep posting this shit.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen an .mler criticizing this behavior.

Describing ethnicity based deportations and gulags as “”““prisons””“” is one hell of a stretch.

This also neglects the amount of emancipatory legislation that Stalin repealed during his reign. Like recriminalizing homosexuality, abolishing the local language initiatives and instead pushing for his russification of the country (compare the ethnic make up of the Soviet leadership in 1921 and 1939)

The Soviet Union had its successes and it had its abject failures. Acknowledging them doesnt make you a librul or a revisionist.

What counts as demonization for you?

Imma be real: If someone tries to tell me, that Stalin’s purges were totally justified, they’re a tankie. If someone tells me that only “bad people” have suffered under regimes trying to achieve communism, they’re a tankie. If someone tells me that I must support Iran or Russia because they are not the US, they might be a tankie.

I mean, so are the gpus. At best, the most human input was the Christmas hat and the text on the gpus.

And even the text looks weird.

That image of Altman is AI-generated.

Thanks for showing your racist ass to anyone, Iran has a culture of using bidets. Now go back to your hole.

*a primitive regime.

The society is much more complex than this.

Both the Nos and the Abstentions are the usual suspects.

When your authoritarianism leads to a massive brain drain, you destroy your country.

Extremely. My ex partner had to spend her first 20 years in that godforsaken country. She told me after 4 years of living outside of Iran that in case she has to move back, she’d rather off herself.

Every Iranian Woman I’ve met over the years echoed similar experiences: Making sure the veil sits correctly, lest you get beaten; knowing, that your voice in court is just half that of a man; knowing that your husband can prevent you from working at any time. Every time you interact with the state, you get reminded that you are a second class citizen.
