They also exhibit a fetishism for defeat. Defending and idolizing only revolutions that didn’t accomplish anything.

Yes, I like it. But I never created an account. It’s better than reddit for opinions. Answers are also given by people from different countries worldwide. Unlike reddit, which the users seem to be almost all white American males.

Easy scheme,

Put tariff , stocks go down, buy stocks;

Remove tariff, stocks go up, sell stocks;

Apparently there’s a lot of racism involved. Many are anti-immigration, so they vote for them. But if I’m right in my analysis, Chega and IL will eventually replace all parties and become the analogous version of the Republicans and Democrats. I wonder if there is US involvement at play.

Oh yeah, the media has always given the far-right party (Chega) a disproportional amount of screen time. Meanwhile the communists get suppressed. The problem is that the far-right managed to steal a lot of votes in former communist bastions. Regions in the interior that were far-left (for decades), have now shifted to the far-right. So PCP went from ~7% to barely above 3%. They also stole a lot of votes from the center, so forming a stable government is quite hard. But this is probably good because the right wing has more votes now.

What shocks me is how the media has managed to turn so many people into neoliberals. I hear so many people parroting neoliberal talking points like, how they are tired of paying high taxes (hilarious, because our taxes are average by EU standards), they claim public companies are a burden and should be privatized. Even public healthcare is seen as a burden, many think just relying on private insurances would be better, since they’re paying “twice”.

People here just don’t learn anything from mistakes from the past. Examples:

• Privatization of our public gas/petrol company -> Results in one of the highest gas/petrol prices in EU.
• Privatization of our public electricity company (to China lol) -> Results in one of the highest electricity prices in the EU. (While exporting electricity to other countries!!!)
• Privatization of our public mail company -> Results in shitty degraded service.

But now the privatization of healthcare and the public airline company will suddenly fix everything? My god, how can people be so blind? It feels hopeless to argue against this.

without them, much of the Pentagon’s advanced hardware risks slipping from superiority to obsolescence.

I think you mean, “parity at best”.

What’s the political situation like in Iran? Are there any real leftist parties? What do you think could be done to improve Iran’s current situation?

This meme should start with anarchists who refuse to use any means to protect the revolution as that would be authoritarian.

The USSR was under attack from the moment it was born.

Libs be like: “Haha, we definitely trolled Putler, he must be super mad in his Kremlin 😜 !”, and then they die by atomic fire.

These fucking Baltic countries won’t stop until they get us into a war with Russia. Congrats to the libs for destroying the Soviet Union, such prosperity that the world is experiencing right now.

Not it really doesn’t. Slavic countries are just cannon fodder against Russia. The US would make some excuse and would leave them to fight alone against Russia.

Poland 93 😅 ?! That number can quickly go down to 0 once they realize Article 5 does not include Slavic countries.

Yeah, hope the next one is good as well.

Aren’t those mostly empty villages, that have been evacuated prior to the offensive?

Crash Bandicoot, Crusaders of Might and Magic, Advance Wars, N2O, Wrestling Games. Wish they would remaster Crash Bash with online multiplayer 😢.

Wrong meme use. OP has already been reported to the NKVD and will be sent to the gulag for reeducation.

They even have asphalt roads 🤢 🤮

Yes, one Russian college teacher was fired because he was accused of spreading Russian propaganda (so much for free speech). He wasn’t even allowed to defend himself. The accusation was started by a TV political commentator (absolute clown, claims Putin is far-left), the University fired the teacher and reiterated their support for Ukraine.

Also yes, we have some Ukronazis in our country. There are also Ukrainians that are pro-Russia, so Ukrainian immigrants are a mixed bag. But the Communist party has been taking a beating in the media. They frequently have to assert that they have no connections to Putin, because news reporters keep asking them the same questions (with obvious malicious intent). This war has been an excuse for rampant anti-communism in the media. Anything goes these days.

I’m from Portugal, a country that has no history with either Russia or Ukraine. No one here knows anything about the history of both countries. So it was very surprising, that when this war broke out for there to be an absolute insane support for Ukraine. People here are deluded that Ukraine can still win this war, they have no clue what’s going on in the front lines. Even the tiniest achievement by Ukraine is celebrated by the media. It’s ridiculous how much anti-Russian sentiment there is. Our participation in the war has been pretty much non-existent, so the fanatic support for Ukraine is even more ridiculous.
