Lol I’m plenty aware Ukraine is Nazi infested, but the downvote stays.

This is a meme comm, not necessarily a political debate comm. The meme isn’t really that high of quality.

200% true, if he dies in office he becomes immortal

soviets often try to steal all the achievements of the country

Thing is that the workers in those countries were Soviet as well. Credit goes to the labor regardless of nationality. The softening of national divisions was a great achievement of both the USSR and Yugoslavian socialist governments. It has been disastrous that those institutions weren’t able to prevail until the current day (they should have evolved instead of been abolished, but I don’t know enough to comment much further).

I don’t agree with the depiction of the USSR as an outside force that developed these countries “for them”. It was an opportunity to come together under one republic and develop.

I think the meme is attempting to disparage the “ungratefulness” of present day liberals in these FSU countries, but I think it lacks nuance to say the least.

I think the meme is low quality and needlessly provocative (no offense OP I guess), but the answer is likely complex. Once the republics are under the purview of the USSR, the resources and engineerong may well have come from elsewhere in the country, even if the construction crews were primarily local people.

I don’t know enough about Soviet construction to provide an actual answer, though.

This could work if you live in Venice or something, but i meant *taking* damnit

Under capitalism, kayaking the time to get to know your neighbors is revolutionary behavior. When things go sideways, the people in direct geographic proximity to you are going to be the ones in best position to support you (and one another). It’s best to start laying that groundwork asap.

Being involved in wider activism is also a grounding and fulfilling. You don’t need to join a revolutionary socialist party like PSL (but you can if you want to go hard), even joining a park cleanup day or something like that is a good place to be.

Anarchist thought is applying criticism to hiearchy and abolishing those that fail tonl justify themselves. Unfortunately people online don’t read their theory and just say whatever they’re thinking.

For me it was that it said “forcing this upgrade may break your system, do you want to force the upgrade?”

And I was like “yeah, fuck it”, then installed mint after my system didn’t come back up (it was time for my annual re-install anyway)

It helps to put in some extra shifts at the posting mines

I didn’t want a mod tag next to all of my posts, and Lemmy doesn’t let you disable it.

Yeah this isn’t my main account

Hey, haven’t used this account in a while, figured I got demodded, but if there’s a need I can fire it back up. I think the instance admins have things under control in general.

It’s not that you’re an idiot, but it’s wise to avoid using a chromium/blink based browser since they are building a dangerous monopoly. Firefox is the best known alternative, but there are a couple other options.

Yeah that tracks, do Google next haha

Right, many Europeans have basic consumer protections lol

Be careful about “unsubscribing” to various services.

They will unsubscribe you, but then they also have all of your information (name, address, anything else) on record and confirmed. They can profit when the sell that data to another mailer “service”. It’s like a Hydra.

The thing is that on leftist forums, the stakes for a veganism debate are pretty high cause it easily causes a 50-50ish flameout.

Mods would appreciate if people like OP didn’t intentionally troll to stir that sort of thing up (if the discussion takes place organically and respectfully, then whatever).

Mods would also appreciate if people didn’t feed obvious trolls who are just starting things up, like you pointed out, there are specific places to post about that sort of topic.

Please don’t feed obvious trolls
