    Saying that to Cowbee specifically is so fucking funny lmao

    They are clearly very well read and use their knowledge to cite their sources for bullshit internet arguments. Straight up one of the worst targets you could have picked for your flippant comment there

        Okay, I looked up a survey of some Russiansedgeworth-shrug

        According to the Levada Center, an independent pollster, most Russians have consistently regretted the dissolution of the USSR. In 2020, 60 percent of respondents expressed regret and 63 percent believed that the dissolution could have been avoided; 49 percent of those polled named “destruction of the USSR” among the twentieth-century events that evoked in them feelings of shame and sadness; and 75 percent believed that “the Soviet era was the best time in Russia’s national history, with a high level of prosperity and opportunities for ordinary citizens.”

        Huh, would you look at that

          the dissolution of the ussr was the biggest historic disaster in the past 50 years.

          i don´t understand how it´s related to this.

              the shit i started wasn´t supposed to be directed at cowbee, i got heated and i own up to my mistake. we settled it and realized we actually agree in many places.

                as would most liberals if they actually read the material instead of having their misinformation reinforced by “respectable” sources like the new york times; or the guardian; etc.

        Sorry I’m too busy reading (non specified) books in order to form a coherent worldview so that big thinkers on the internet won’t call me the tankie word anymore

          make fun of me. the ussr doesn´t exist anymore. russia is an oligarch run state with fascist tendencies and it supports fascist actors all over europe.

          if you support russia you support outlawing the communist party in czechia, the rise of the afd in germany and the repressive vucic government in serbia. - tankie is the wrong word to describe russia supporters.

            Yeah so I’m not sure what any of this has to do with accusing Cowbee of not reading and how fucking hilarious that is, but hell yeah dawg go off on all those phantom tankies you’ve got trapped up in your head. You’re going to crush them all in this debate that only you are having

              my frustration was directed at jackeroni. probably got something mixed up. i don´t know cowbee or his views and i can´t judge him :)
