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.

Imagine wanting people to be educated on a subject before espousing an opinion on it.

Why would you ever limit yourself to academic sources?
Personally, I’d prefer sources that were actually there to any “academic source”.
But that’s just me, you do you, professor.

No one is limiting anyone to academic sources, please don’t try to spin what’s said. It makes you worse at discussion.

Did you read your comment? It’s you. No spin needed.

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”Godric@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I do loath 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!

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.

You forgot to end your sentence with a period, and “loathe” should be in quotes.

I am seeing more tankie posts recently mocking anyone to the right of them regardless of extreme. Maybe OP is only trying to counter that.
