Of course she didn’t, but by continuing to associate with her abuser in a profusely positive way, and as a person who has pretty much always backed up all of the weird stuff about her that her father said, she is tacitly giving retroactive support and permission. Victimhood stops the moment you begin victimizing

Nooo? Your father being a piece of shit doesn’t mean that, as an adult women with independent thought, that you are not also a piece of shit.

No, I’m saying that real estate developers are overcoming the NIMBYs by instilling themselves into their local politics, and then calling for “future forward” mix-use development, obstensibly thinking about the “changing demographics” of the local area, wanting to build GIANT developments that mix high-end condos, affordable housing, and senior care (both assisted and independent) into the same space. This enables them to essentially control the housing market, and then buy up all of the nearest single family dwellings and repeat.
This is to say nothing about the massive developments going up all over our farmland outside of city centers, as gentrifiers are now bored/sick/scared of the city and seek to once again suburbanize.

apartment owners
people […] trying to build affordable housing
Unfortunately, these are often the same people. A developer will usually make a deal with a municipality that requires that x% of new units built must conform to “affordable housing” requirements. That’s it. It’s kind of a whole scam used so big developers can just develop MORE AND MORE.

Really? Because even before Trump, things were sliding into authoritarianism around here pretty quick. Maybe pre-9/11 USA? But honestly, that was our biggest period of economic exploitation of developing countries. As long as I’ve been alive, I cannot think of a single time my home country has been a good guy on the international stage.

You can’t even answer that you were right about? I’m sorry, I just feel sorry for you. So sorry

Right about what, exactly? Again it’s like you’re having a conversation with yourself.

So you’re a deeply unserious person, then, and this has been a waste of time? That checks out

Again, it’s like you’re having a conversation with yourself. You reduce your self to ad hominem and don’t actually reply to anything that I’ve said. That’s why I said it seems like you’re embarrassed

You’re embarrassed, aren’t you?

I did not. If that is what you took out of it, then that’s one you. I was specifically referring to the number of people who participated, and you challenged the “hundreds of thousands” part ( I suspect because you couldn’t t challenge anything else of a actual substance?)
I literally said > you don’t seriously believe that the CIA was able to convince hundreds of thousands of Hungarian citizens as well as virtually every socialist party in Hungary to fight against their own better interests, do you?
Which is apparently the part that you’re hung up on
That is separate from when I said > And even if true, how does that in any way take away from the thousands of Hungarian civilians killed or maimed?
Which, I suppose could imply some victimhood if you literally didn’t know what an uprising was, but that wasn’t the part about “hundreds of thousands”, so I’m assuming you were talking about the first part, which again, doesn’t contain any “words or phrases synonymous with the word victim” so I’m just confused, I guess, as to exactly where you got that from if it wasn’t from the conversation you’re having with yourself.

I never said anything about “victims”. If that’s was your assumption, that’s on you. I said there were hundreds of thousands of people who participated in the uprising. Whatever assumptions you’re making are based on a conversation you are having with yourself

You do what Rojavans did when they had a fascist uprising like the Islamic State, I suppose.

I’m not trying to be an asshole, my evidence is anecdotal, but widely approved but other people in the front-end customer service business. It’s not a value judgement. Assholes are just in a state of… becoming? Most of them are just ignorant. But it takes one to know one, I guess?

At least 200,000 people were exiles as a direct result, so yes, hundreds of thousands participated

I’m not saying historically things weren’t better in some regards (the USSR is the only country I know of to jump from feudal to industrial in a single generation, and that’s huge), I’m saying that right now things would only be mildly better.
Realistically, if the US somehow had a socialist revolution tomorrow, and going to be siding with whoever wants to further the revolutionary project.
But that’s to say nothing about the many many proletarian anarchists in the Ukranian Free Territory, that certainly did not join with the Marxists after the revolution

The CIA had interests in seeing the weakening of the USSR, obviously, but you don’t seriously believe that the CIA was able to convince hundreds of thousands of Hungarian citizens as well as virtually every socialist party in Hungary to fight against their own better interests, do you? And even if true, how does that in any way take away from the thousands of Hungarian civilians killed or maimed?
And that doesn’t remotely touch on the Prague Spring

Here’s my take: I would rather live in an authoritarian communist state than and authoritarian capitalist, or fascist one. But I would strongly prefer that I have no masters ruling me against my will, willing to use the full violent force of the state to repress me the second that the power structure feels challenged, no matter what form it takes. A communist state would just be mildly better than what we’ve already got. Which is why I advocate for a strictly anti-statist approach to socialism
