  • I would argue that the USSR is only the most responsible when looking at it through the loss of human life. It seems likely they would have never made it to Berlin without lend-lease. No one knows if the Germans could have regrouped and done better without the aid to the USSR, maybe the same number would have died, just in different locations. But, most of the USSR's ability to move material around was due to the allies supplying them with logistics vehicles, both trucks, and railroads/engines/RR cars.

  • Demolition company tearing down White House flooded with negative reviews

    Jump

  • "I'm not at fault, all I did was build Auschwitz!" Yes this is taken to absurdity, but the point is still there. You can't do bad things and then expect not to be held to account for those decisions, just because it was a job you were getting paid for.

  • Antifa uniform

    Jump

  • Quite the assumption to say someone directly participated in murder and torture, without knowing anything about them, or the job they had in the military. Coulda been a cook for all you know.

    Murder is also a legal term, and supposing this person didn't act outside of the RoE, wouldn't have committed murder. Being a soldier in a warzone, that killed someone does not make you a murderer. I shall now await your post about how awful the US is, and that I'm such a terrible person.

  • The Right Is Stirring up Anti-Muslim Hate – and It’s Getting Worse

    Jump

  • "The right is stirring up hate - and it's getting worse" FTFY. There's nothing that's good that they're not turning their legion of fools on.

  • Trump floats dropping Spain from NATO alliance

  • "Rulership" not a new govt. Clearly someone pining for a boot.

  • Self determination means determining what happens to yourself

    Jump

  • I dont believe they've done what you claim, mainly due to Hu Jintao saying that its not true. I'm sure they've brought back a lot of the middle class that was destroyed in the civil war, but there is still a huge peasant population in China that is very much in poverty.

  • Self determination means determining what happens to yourself

    Jump

  • Is the pay per post still 50 cents, or has the govt increased that?

    Get fucking real, China has solved none of the three you list. People still starve, housing just recently had a major economic impact, and while there are doctors everywhere working hard to fix people's ailments, China's hospital system in now incentivized to get repeat customers, not to fix the issues.

    China still has distinct classes for their classless government. People in China call the lowest class peasants still. While Xi talks with Putin about how he can live forever with the help of other people's organs.

  • [Video] Netanyahu suggests Iran is developing ICBMs to nuke New York

  • The smile he has as he's speaking makes me believe he's getting hard thinking about all the dead in this fantasy situation.

  • What are some examples of series with a good premise, but a bad execution?

    Jump

  • Leviathan on Netflix. Love the idea of tech culture vs monster culture, but the main chars were so grating, and had the philosophical reasoning of a 8 year old.

    Such a waste of a premise.

  • Is it racist to oppose illegal immigrants?

    Jump

  • Most of the current immigration laws are due to racist intent. In the 80s they didn't like how many Mexicans were coming across the border each year to do farm work. The workers would come, stay while there was work to be had, and then return home. When new laws were enacted making it harder for workers to get across the border, there came a class of people that would sneak the workers across. And this came with a fee from the workers. Now it costs them more to get here, so they need to stay longer to make up the money. It became easier to just find a place to live in the US all year round.

    The US needs the Mexican workers. To simultaneously demand help, and punish them for showing up to help is dumb, and I suspect fueled by racist thoughts. The immigrants boost our economy, help feed our population, and are less likely to break laws that citizens. There's a whole (probably many) book about it, and it's even in comic form. https://www.amazon.com/Open-Borders-Science-Ethics-Immigration/dp/1250316960

    While we need to know who is coming across our border to prevent spys and terrorists, the current laws make those entrants easier to hide, as there is now a whole industry to sneak people across.

  • 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds

    Jump

  • Cities are going to start looking like San Fransokyo (Big Hero 6) soon. Seems like an excellent idea though. If it really gets pursued, I wonder how it will interact with air travel, since I would imagine you would need no fly zones around these, at least at a certain height.

    Is fediverse turning into reddit?

    Jump

  • Friendly censorship of an inoffensive word. With the threat of being banned for flavor. SO friendly.

  • Say what you will about Kirk, but he made some great points in his debating

    Jump

  • guarantees a regression to centrist parties

    The US's whole political system has been drifting rightward. Our center is more to the right than 20 years ago. So it does not matter if regression to center is happening as the center drifts into the fascist event horizon. Every possible "this is why it could never happen here" is possibly a single event away from being breached, then discarded. The US has had so many of our safety checks blown through, and the only people who can now prevent it have no desire to do so, because they're on the same team.

    I'm sure you will be vigilant, but it takes the whole country. And a person may be smart, but people are dumb, panicky animals.

  • Aren't the royal sex workers? Isn't their job to have sex and produce heirs so the cycle can continue? Country pimps them out to show up to events and smile, and then to go back home and continue the line.

  • Pirates are just hyperindividualized, privatized navies engaged in a competitive market with one another so how can they be worse than navies according to the logic of capitalism?

    Jump

  • Is the assumption here that the navies, of the various countries that have one, capture commerce ships to bring back to the home country? If so, I have some bad news for you. Hell, even in war they don't capture said ships.

    Have a Russian or Soviet ex-prosecutor ever spoken about what it was like to prosecute for the governemnt?

    Jump

  • This is neither a Russian or Soviet prosecutor. He didn't ask about US prosecutors (which has a lot of terrible ones I'm sure).
