and whether it is a “defensive measure” or one hinting at future aggression.
Too true too true. Gotta watch out for the US China, the country infamous for aggression all over the globe.
…and that Gorbachev was the first one who tried to correct it.
This guy can’t be a serious socialist. This has lib written all over it.
Seconded.
The amount of lingering bullshit myths about Stalin that were spread by Trotsky and Khrushchev alone is overwhelming. I don’t know how anyone can be a Trot if they just look into Trotsky’s history and the shit he repeatedly pulled.
At least do a little research so you aren’t parroting the same propaganda that the liberals blindly latch onto. If you want to inform yourself on Stalin, read what he wrote and read Domenico Losurdo’s “Stalin - History and Critique of a Black Legend.” This is a great start to being able to have an informed conversation about Stalin.
Even if you don’t like Stalin and you disagree with his writings and decisions, I don’t know how you can’t at least respect his accomplishments unless you’re just approaching him from a place of pure ignorance.
I check out some more posts on that blog. The https://windows93.net post led to some fun stuff at the link.
Maybe just scientific research rather than any other immediate utility.
Got it figured out, thanks!
A shit, my bad. I didn’t scroll far enough, thank you!
Still getting a mostly blank page. Similar to what I tried earlier with archive.ph and archive.today.
Is it just me getting no text content?
Archive.ph and removepaywalls.com aren’t working. Does anyone have a way around the WaPo paywall?
How about some Bullshit from Hexbear instead?
You don’t have to care what I think if you read and make an informed decision on your own. As it is, I suspect you didn’t bother to read the link?
She-bears isn’t explicitly defined in the bible, so it’s safe to enjoy the thought of lesbians with giant beards beating up young chuds who made fun of your hair.
How dare they call me bald? Send in the bears!
I wonder if he ever would have gotten anything done if he had access to chuds on the internet. Probably would have had a stroke 20 years earlier.
What a time to be living. Every fuck-up recorded and perpetually available to the public.
When I find a solvent on pubchem that has the taste characterized by some mad lad from the 1800s, it makes me want to try it.
You say THF is spicy water? Now I’m curious. We must confirm this claim.
I hear ether smells good. We must confirm this claim.
These fancy new box cutters are safe and cannot cut your hand. We must confirm this claim.
You are confusing the term candidate and nominee.
Both Biden and Trump were candidates. Trump is now the Republican nominee, Biden was the presumptive Democrat nominee.
You’re confused because they don’t know what they’re talking about.
Nominees are the candidates selected by their party. Candidates are those who are campaigning for a position. Neither term is conferred by actually appearing on the ballot (a nominee can drop out before the election), but being officially nominated by their party is how they will get on the ballot.
Seconded on B for the same reason. The more accessible the language can be while still clearly communicating the concept, the better.
I also agree with the other comments so far, but I think they can be pretty easily addressed later in the entry or with minor edits.
