    Maybe I owe our wayward libs an apology. As bad as they are at argument and debate, they aren’t this bad.

          The nazis were more than happy to murder Slavs, often by enslaving them and working them to death.

          I don’t know why the fuck so many Ukranians are now nazis.

            We’ve had a group of dorks who celebrated Hitler’s birthday in a forest (with a swastika birthday cake made of cheap chocolate wafers)

            Because nationalism was the only political force that could compete with socialism, so capitalists with the help of their Western friends went all in on nationalist propaganda. Ukraine also had the worst recovery from the economic catastrophe of the 90s, so its population was the most dissatisfied with the liberalism. Communists and anarchists there really failed to capitalize on it, so the fascists won and increased the amount of fascist propaganda tenfold. Still, Ukrainians mostly voted against Nazis, protested against Nazi takeover and literally launched an armed uprising in the East, so calling all Ukrainians Nazis is a big overstatement.

            I’m most worried about young generation that was raised in situation of total fascist dominance in media and education.

              so calling all Ukrainians Nazis is a big overstatement.

              I said many, not all, and that many is especially concentrated in the Ukranian military where it can do the most damage.

    I have said this to my Phillipino co workers when they’ve gotten dicked around by the immigration department (usually just paperwork bullshit) and I’ll say it again “I’d happily ship off 10-15 white dudes to keep you around. I could provide names and addresses even.”. Most of the people I don’t want here were born here.

    I think the coin toss between “potential comrade” and “fascist” when it comes to anime avatars involves a loaded coin.

    so many anime avatars

    maybe they would be less permanently raging if they picked up a more fulfilling hobby. Doesn’t even have to be a social one. You can still be isolated as shit and, idk, learn an instrument or something. Have to imagine that watching escapist cartoons with all your free time isn’t the best way to reach inner peace

              Remind me of first capitalist presidental election in Poland in 1990, where we have to choose either lech wałęsa or Stan Tymiński (libertarian “enterpreneur” gusano) and the latter was unironically better candidate in every single aspect.

                Tell me more about lech wałęsa by comparison. I’m scared but curious.

                  Oh damn. Short version is that the dude is absolute stereotype of lumpenproletarian class traitor, and proud about it.
                  Personally he’s an odious little catofash opportunist given big shoes, something like various movie carricatures of “new man in high politics” but worse because real and serious.
                  Politically he is and always was absolute zero and a tool, his presidency looked like he was a bone being fought over by rabid dogs of various cliques (current chief of PiS Kaczyński is the last of those dogs remaining in politics and as such they still hate eachother). And of course he presided over the worst time for Poland since WW2, overseeing and actively participating in the looting and spreading misery.
                  Personally and eagerly too, one of more forgotten examples is how he participated in breaking one of the main workers force, coal miners: around 1992 if i remember correctly, he told the remaining after first wave of liquidations mine directors (still all state owned) that they are to increase production because their main clients (power plants, also still state owned) will buy everything since demand for electricity is growing too. So the directors took the bank loans (on bad conditions especially the inflation was going down but still around 45%), employed more people, bought more machinery and increased production for next season… and then wałęsa imported massive amount of coal and sold them to power plants at dumping prices. Coal mines were devastated basically overnight and all of them went under the line*, and what happened next was liquidation of most of mines and workers power there was completely broken as they were force to complete over the rapidly dwindling jobs.

                  *This is important point because even after over 2 years of intense government sabotage of government owned(!) coal and not only coal industry, like for example forcing property tax over them or wage rise tax in the time of hyperinflation, they still remained profitable going contrary to what the neoliberals and market “socialists” were telling about them.
