I love France and all, but let’s not pretend they have good coffee culture. What passes for cappuccino there… The horrors I’ve seen.

Armies relying on archers often had a continuous resupply running towards archers in position.

Yes, let’s ask the German government to make Stasi records spying on the private lives of citizens open and public, because it would help strangers win arguments on the internet.

You are not a very serious person, are you?

Yes sure let me just get an eight hour train to Berlin to work on your assignments, random person on the internet.

You do know that the USSR signed a trade deal with Nazi Germany even in 1940, right? When the rest of the world was already blockading Nazi Germany for… being Nazi’s. In fact, in 1940 the Soviet Union delivered about 75% of Nazi Germany’s imports, mostly in oil & steel. Stalin could’ve joined that blockade, and not supplied the necessary materials for the Nazi war machine – but he didn’t.

You can acknowledge that, and still acknowledge the USSR took the brunt of the force fighting the Nazi’s. It’s not a sports game, you don’t have to pick sides.

Mate it’s right there.

Marx believed that Socialism means that the workers own the means of production.

In China the communist party owns 60% of the economy, and the rest of the economy is hosting 406 billionaires.

What ghoulish logic. 50.000 civilian casualties, 6 million refugees, a country and a future in ashes, 1.5 mothers mourning their mutilated sons. And you talk about them as pawns in your imaginary game.

You are no better than the Hawks in the Pentagon. Not one bit.

The arrogance of these people passing around their homework as gospel.

60% of the economy being owned by the people exclusively for the benefit of the people isn’t communist?

No

Mate, we’re here for fun. You’re making someone do homework.

Find me an old person anywhere that isn’t nostalgic for their youth.

Please tell me how supportive Lenin was of the Workers’ Soviets as soon as the revolution got calmer.

When do you call something a continent? Just vibes, I guess. All I am saying is that the dish has a much longer history than 200 years.

That’s documented serving. You don’t seriously believe that a slow stew on the basis of meat, wine and misofritto only appeared in the 19th century?

Intelligence is inherited, but evenly distributed over the population/across (so called) ethnic groups You’re skimming over a wikipedia article, but the guy you’re replying to isn’t off the mark.

Easy to say to starving children. (Which is what happened in op’s article)

Considering the gravity of the situation, those numbers are devastatingly low.

Two weeks ago in Munich 250000 people protested against a fascist party – before elections even started. Just to put things into perspective.

It’s telling that nowhere in this thread there’s mention of the US demolishing it’s relationship with its most important ally, Europe.

The US is a lost cause, nationally and globally. It might save it’s state, but repairing a (already wobbly) international reputation will take decades.

Here you have comment, from this thread, of someone saying there’s basically no problems: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16144139

Denial of racism and abuse by the Chinese state is rampant here on Lemmy, don’t pretend otherwise.

Oh and please don’t assume my narrative. I hate the US more.
