  prison system (whose acronym was GULAG)

  Afaik not true. The average westerner may think so, but GULAG is an acronym for a specific part of the system.

  copypasted my earlier comment

  if you would consult the chart from chapter 10: Image The etymology of GULAG is: “the acronym of Гла́вное управле́ние исправи́тельно-трудовы́х лагере́й (Glávnoje upravlénije ispravítelʹno-trudovýx lageréj, “Chief Administration of Corrective-Labor Camps”)” emphasis mine, as it corresponds directly to the above, specifically the camps under the O.G.P.U. These are where those with harsher sentences were sent, as seen in the chart (3-10 years)

  If you agree with either premise, then other conclusions necessarily follow

  Nah, I’m in the middle, I’m not one of those, I agree with Dialectical and Historical Idealism. (/j)

  Ok, the historical part is just basic liberalism, but I’m not sure about Dialectical Idealism.

  Gulag is the russian word for prison

  According to wikipedia, no, it comes from the abbreviation of “Main Directorate of Correctional Labour Camps”, in Russian: Гла́вное Управле́ние исправи́тельно-трудовы́х ЛАГере́й (ГУЛАГ).

  If you would consult the chart:

  “system of places for deprivation of liberty”

  You will find “Correctional Labor Camp” under the O.G.P.U (as wikipedia also says). Of course, libs can’t tell the difference between CLC under the O.G.P.U and Colonies under the PC of Justice and will call both gulag.

  Yes. .ml isn’t an ML instance so far as I understand, the devs and admins are MLs, so its generally leftists, but not specifically ML, that’s 'grad.

  I couldn’t let it go.

  Nutomic: I always thought that .ml was used simply because its free. But what do I know…

  This is why we post pictures of a pig shitting on its balls rather than attempt to engage people like you. Shut the fuck up dumbass.

  Hexbear isn’t actually very large. Just very active.
