Stalinism means whatever the person saying it wants it to mean. So next time someone says it either roll your eyes and ignore them (what I do) or ask them what they mean by it.
Usually it means that a person who venerates (or minimizes the negative aspects of) a period of Soviet history defined by a high degree of bureaucratization that discourages/ punishes democratic participation. For others it means wanting a police state maintained by violent purges and gulags for political enemies, in which regular people were afraid to speak out. For some both. For others it's just a thought-terminating epithet and they don't really know what it means but it's bad for reasons they've never had to explain like how most people have never had to explain why they think the Nazis were bad.
I will say I think saying something like "Stalinism isn't a thing Stalin was an ML" isn't really helpful. Like Reaganism isn't really a thing either, but it does convey a shorthand and that's how people communicate.
I don't think it's a useful category so I don't call myself a Stalinist but a lot of people in my org probably think I am one.
I don't watch YouTube for pleasure, and if I did I wouldn't speed it up.
But part of my job is to curate videos to show to an audience so I have to watch them ahead of time, and watching them at 2x means I can do half as much work.
Damn TIL Coco Chanel was a Nazi collaborator. Crazy to think someone whose whole existence is making fancy shit for rich people would be allied with fascists
I don't but when I went to cancel my partner took up payment because they have reality shows she watches. So I have it anyways, but rarely watch anything on it
Dang YouTube just put adjusting the speed of their videos behind a paywall. Genuinely clever move you pieces of shit this is the only thing that has ever made me even consider a paid YouTube subscription
Oh wow I did expect the star of David was on an Israeli flag and the article was just being purposefully misleading like they did with Roger Waters.
