Nazis were not; despite taking the name of national-socialists, they only used socialism as a buzzword while acting in full interest of national bourgeoisie and promoting Germans over everyone. In fact, Nazism is reactionary in its nature and strongly opposed to any left-wing ideas.
Stalinists were left-wing, yes.

Already establishing? What does that even mean, lol
Stalin also didn’t promote national capital - aside from the fact the word “capital” does not reflect quite the same thing in the context of socialism, the policy of “socialism in a separate country” is nothing more than a reaction to the failure of world revolution. He continued international partnerships with socialist countries and participated in The Communist International.
Soviet Union did not genocide Jews and was not tied to Holocaust. The alliance with Nazis only held through the first stage of WWII as long as it was seen more as a contained European issue. It is true, however, that Soviet Union participated in occupation of Poland.

The oil prices boomed around WW2, while the highest wave of economic growth in the Soviet Union was in the 30’s.
It is Khrushchev and following leaders that benefitted from oil
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Hitler took an already established economy and rearranged it towards national capital while killing Jews en masse and initiating a World War.
Not quite comparable.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Stalin is a conflicting historical figure, who is neither a monster nor a savior, and so the way you describe him would differ depending on the angle of the conversation.
If the talking point is the rights of the LGBT+ people (or, really, people’s rights overall sometimes), there’s no excuse for him there, and I’m pretty sure Hexbear is not quite the place for a homophobic rhetoric.
But they may point out in other terms that under Stalin’s rule the economy got insanely boosted, the WW2 was won, and many megaprojects used to this day were constructed.

As in economic equality and support for disadvantaged groups?

They are not, but sometimes their actions can result in outcomes beneficial to right wing.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Tankies are factually left-wing. Their actions, however, sometimes play into the deck of right-wingers as they try to fuck around with the system.

Oh, thanks!

In normal meaning, it is a set of water-soluble potassium salts, particularly potassium carbonate. It has numerous uses, in regards to presidents - it can be turned into gunpowder.
Polycrystalline potash can have orange-brown color, too, which can be linked to the color of Trump’s skin, which in turn was subject to some memes.

What are all those potash memes about? I’m out of the loop

Thank you for your compassionate answer and don’t worry, I am aware of Tor and by extension Tails/Whonix/Qubes. Massive kudos for bridging! It really makes the difference - Tor access was pretty poor at times.
Also, as things stand, using a VPN is not illegal inside Russia, despite all the pressure - there goes the suspicion that the government itself uses VPNs heavily, and there are several records of local governments actually adding VPNs to official purchases (lol).
As for payments, some of the VPSes accept anonymous crypto like Monero, and some of the foreign ones accept ruble payments, although this is obviously more reckless.
- Comment on They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone 1 week ago:
As someone from a jurisdiction with insane VPN blocking (Russia), consider hosting your own VPN - it can be as easy as firing up a VPS anywhere and inserting one string, like with Outline for example.
- Comment on They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone 1 week ago:
Yes, but images and other files are hosted on the instance itself, so any pictures embedded in posts will not be visible.

While it seems obvious on an intuitive level, it is actually an important observation that can’t be taken for granted! :)
- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 weeks ago:
Kind of, but in doing so it loses any significant meaning. Everyone interprets it as they see fit
- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 weeks ago:
Let’s just drop the word “normie” altogether.
The word is incredibly vague and fails to reflect the diversity of viewpoints and opinions. Everyone has their own perception of what is most common, so the definition varies wildly.
- Comment on Naughty Dog Co-Founder Reveals Why They Were Acquired By Sony 2 weeks ago:
True; however, the point raised is probably about the claim made in the article that ND would not keep up with rising costs of AAA game development on its own.
So, according to co-founder, it was not a case of a successful company pumping in even more revenue, but rather ensuring its very survival. At the time, plenty of even large indie companies have closed, so this is somewhat believable.

2017 PC here, built it when first Ryzens came about, still having Ryzen 5 1600X+GTX 1060 6gb as my config.
Perfectly good for everything I play (except Star Citizen, but that could be for the better, lol, less money squeezing)
Most modern games run just fine, and I don’t feel I miss out on much.
- Comment on These dames wanting inclusivity 3 weeks ago:
If you call people with vaginas women, you now cross the line for trans folks.
No matter how you phrase it, there will always be someone you will offend. In the case of the word “female” this is driven purely by some folks finding ways to use it offensively, despite it being just as neutral as “women”
Don’t assume malicious intent every time someone uses the word “female” - most likely, they have never put any negative connotations to it and possibly never even heard of this word being used in a negative context.

- Comment on US logic for protecting the political and economic elite has no bounds 4 weeks ago:
Anti-Semitism is hatred or discrimination of Jews based on their nationality.
No sane person holds anything against Jews, or supports violence against them. Some actual antisemites do, but they are in the tiny minority.
What people mostly stand against is the violence perpetrated by the Israeli army on the land of Palestine.
Israel has all the capacity to defend its citizens; yet Israeli army went way beyond defence or retaliation, into the territory of indiscriminate razing of everyone and everything, women, children, and sick, homes and hospitals. The state of Israel is accountable for enormous amounts of recorded human rights and law of war violations, and that’s the key reason nearly all of the international community took the side of defending Palestine. Should Palestine have the capacity and will to do the same to Israelis at the same scale, the international opinion would reverse.
However, as Israel has to gain public support, which is hard to do when you’re commiting genocide, the government and its allies (mainly US and UK, both of whom have strategic interests in Israeli expansion) decided to adopt the rhetoric of antisemitism as something that would virtually put you along the lines of Nazis should you try and challenge their notion. No, Nazis were actual antisemites and pursued to eliminate Jews; the international community wants to put an end to the genocide of Palestinian Arabs, while rejecting any hostility directed against Jews.
Wishing to eliminate one nationality to make safer room for the other is a bloodthirsty and dangerous fantasy historically proven again and again to lead to terrible consequences while multiplying suffering; yet by some it is understood for the very imagined and unrealistic scenario of falling Israel, but ignored while Palestine is actively razed by a hostile force of a much greater scale, ignoring all international treaties.

Yes, that’s what I use.
It’s just that safety razors are often considered to be a thing of shaving enthusiasts, and if you go through that rabbit hole, you commonly go all the way.
- Comment on Single-bladed razors are superior! 5 weeks ago:
Quite an interesting concept for genuine cartridge aficionados
- Comment on Single-bladed razors are superior! 5 weeks ago:
It seems to depend on your face and skin. For me, single-bladed safety razors deliver a closer shave with less irritation compared to cartridge, and I experimented quite much with both.
Still, the cult of safety razors is sometimes overblown. Just pick what fits you best.

Probably since they decided to take billionaire money, which limited what they can now say in their videos. It feels more superficial and vague now.
