Right wingers are freaking idiots. I wouldn’t let anything that comes from that bunch of xenophobic, racist, strong-man-loving turds. Asking a right winger to explain their viewpoint will just make you feel dumber. Why are you even caring what some stupid, inbred, shallow-thinking bigots think or say?
aphasia

The shit these people get away with is just amazing. Not close to surprising anymore, but still, just incredible levels of grift.
OK, let’s be “generous” and agree to that figure. Or twice that. It doesn’t change a thing I said, and nobody will ever find me defending Stalin, unless their lenses are crazy colored.
Nope, you asked the question and I gave a decent answer. Never ever said Stalin was other than evil. Goes down in history with Hitler and Pol Pot. Again, you are the one who asked. And…you keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it does. You can’t be bothered to give a reasoned response, so I can’t be bothered to get dumber reading anything else you have to say. Or as you seem to gargle out yip yip (Avatar rocked. The animated show, not the movie) and whaddabout whaddabout whaddabout. Which was the original freaking discussion ya dummy.
Yep, bad dude. Bad, bad dude. His boss was too. You didn’t, and won’t, get any argument on that from me. But you come across as one of those people who talk about systematic racism and knee jerk react by saying,“I’M NOT RACIST”. All I said was capitalism causes a fuckload of pain, suffering, and death as well. You were of the opinion that capitalism is somehow immune to evil or something. And I’m not sure why you keep saying sit down. The only time I type on here is when I’m at my desktop, and I don’t have a standing desk. You need to try to come up with something more appropriate. Or you know, just shut the fuck up with your capitalist boot licking, grow up, take some classes, and realize humans really suck when they get any type of power, whatever political clothes they wear.
What the fuck are you on about? I guess it’s easy for a smooth brain moron to hype up gross mass murder as somehow way worse than prolonged systematic suffering and death. You’re a fucking lost cause.
Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin’s regime were 20 million or higher.[5][6][7] After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8][9][10][11][12] around 1.5 to 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[13][14][15] some 390,000[16] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[17] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories.[18] According to historian Stephen Wheatcroft, approximately 1 million of these deaths were “purposive” while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility.[2] The deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million[19] persons in the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 are sometimes included with the victims of the Stalin era.[2][20] - wikipedia
So being generous we’ll go high and say 10 million
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 9 million people die annually from hunger and malnutrition, mostly in regions where capitalist-driven global inequality has made basic necessities unaffordable or inaccessible.
So less in a year due to capitalism (ignoring wars and whatnot) than the total of Stalin. But also dealing with huge differences in populations involved. Both seem pretty shitty if you ask me.
Time to post the classics Bill Hicks and George Carlin.
There are only a couple of things that I like a gui more than the terminal.
Probably not what you’re looking for, but I thought I’d leave this classic for your consideration.
Copyparty is easy, but if you can both set up syncthing, that makes it a breeze. I have a sibling that lives across the Pacific and last time they visited I set up syncthing on their laptop and when either of us wants to share something, we just drop it in that folder and wait a minute or two.
If those hit the people they were addressing, sure. But in reality, both those bombs, if they actually hit someone, probably killed poor schmucks just trying to make their way through life.
Even if I didn’t know the context, someone signing an instrument of war and killing is just weird. To put it mildly.
If I can’t find a half-way decent replacement when I have to get a new phone, I’m getting something super basic. Flip or whatever, only for emergency use. Something that’s not corrupted by google.
They can do whatever they want at that age. What’s the issue here?
“Disturbing” in that he described it as white supremacists marching in his downtown area, while chanting “Who’s streets? OUR streets”, “Say his name! Charlie Kirk”, then ending with a white power speech about white people being wiped out by immigrant blood. Far more disturbing than the usual blood and guts fare that gets labeled “adult”. I don’t need, or want really, to see it. I was more interested in bypassing the login requirement.
Thanks, that is pretty much what I was thinking.
Hegseth wants all these discussions to run through a company’s servers. In this administration’s tree of stupid shit, this is just another leaf.
