Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

    Ah yes, this. We have instinctual need to throw things, because we literally evolved half of our bodies to do so. Give child a rock and see it flying. Our whole science is relying on “throw shit harder”.

    I mean, at the end of the day what is particle accelerator if not uber yeetmachine?

    1. Katyń, for the most obvious example. And yeah, day and night - deportation, work camps, beatings. I absolve neither side of crime, and I definitely see Nazis as worse, but they were both murdering poles left and right. And the Polish goverment fought for Poland while hiding, cooperated with other goverments, tried it’s damn hardest to get Poland back - what are you talking about?
    2. Except for Soviet Starvation of 46’. Also shortages of food and weird politic of exporting more grain than was deemed possible was still under USSR. And I can’t care less about US.
    3. I lack sources I can point you out to. This is mostly something you hear concrete examples for from your family when you grow up. It’s, however, failure on my part for lacking any resources I can point to. WIll have to search for them when I have time.

    I admit I had to learn more about USSR during our convo. And however much I hate admitting this, it would me insincere of me to not admit USSR had more sensible politics internally than I thought when it comes to food. They were, however, still insanely brutal and sadistic regime while dealing with anything comparable to opposition to their goals. So yeah, thanks for broadening my horizons, but please never state USSR was in any way or form good guys. They massacred, murdered, invigilated and abused, not unlike Nazis, at least in Poland.
