I mean, he always calls trade deficit a “subsidy”, and has since 2016. I honestly don’t think he understand what that concept means, he’s not that subtle with manipulation.

He doesn’t understand what “trade deficit” means.

Oh look “orcs” the dehumanising Banderite fascist scumbag lingo

Umm… You do realise that they used it themselves? And not just during the war, but in The Last Reingbearer too?

Sure you’re not some filthy ukronazi

It’s so uplifting to see how you shy away from dehumanising, fascist, scumbag lingo, and talk about all other humans with respect! :*

USSR (…) quit living in the past and bringing that up.

I’m talking about 2005.

I mean, I’m at least assuming this bit was about me mentioning Putin’s dream of restoring “russia to greatness”. But I’m not sure, because you started spitting on your keyboard and wrote some bullshit.

You can volunteer, wear your swastika and wolfsangel

You first. Oh look! And they’re actually working on making it legal!

Now piss off and go cry somewhere else or do I need to block you?

Mate, 50% of the two of us are crying, and it’s not me. I’m just laughing at you gulping down the propaganda so hard you’d put Sasha Grey to shame! :D

And stop crying about the USSR, that doesn’t exist anymore

So, you’re saying that on top of being clueless about history, you also have no idea about current affairs in USSRussia? About how putin feels “the dissolution of the USSR was the greatest catastrophe of the XX c” and how “it’s time to rebuild” it? Or how the orcs rode into Ukraine with USSR flags on their tanks?

Good riddance, and may the next generations follow.

Careful now! You’re veering dangerously close to a bannable offence. :)

oh wait, they weren’t elected since it was a coup and the US decided who would be in their government. Or have you something to deny the Nuland-Pyatt call also in your propaganda folder?

I do. The fact that Ukraine had a legal (and observed by international - russia included - parties) election immediately after, or the fact that Yanukovych was stripped of power by his own party. Unless you’re suggesting that the US bought LITERALLY EVERY Ukrainian in and out of their parliament? :D

Here’s another relevant call exposing the fascists: Original :

Nothing says “I did my research” like saying “original” and posting an English translation which, by definition, is not the original words of Yatseniuk.

The translator fucked up, as proven by looking at the actual original.

Just look at what that nazi pig Timoshenko said in 2014:

I’m absolutely certain that no person in Belgium has ever said anything derogatory or unpleasant towards Germans when the Nazi tanks rolled in. ;)

You people disgust me.

:*

Good thing you have support in the good and compassionate USSRussia. :) They never did ANYTHING wrong! :)

Hey, thanks for your comment! Someone on Reddit was able to help out, I posted the solution in the OP.

They are not allowed in the government and certainly not in the army.

Well… After they had 13% in the parliament in 2003, yes, they were banned.

But here’s the thing: no far-right party has ever gotten more than 3% in Ukraine, which is below the minimum 5% required to take a single parliamentary seat. That’s how horribly Nazi Ukraine is.

While in ex-ukraine they proudly celebrate these wolfangel wearing scumbags

Mate, that info is so 2018 it’s not even funny anymore. :D

And their ministers have called ethnic-Russians subhuman and called to genocide them.

And you can, of course, provide independent proof of that happening, right? Right? :)

No country on the planet compares to your shithole, only germany in 1940’s

LOL, you’re so hilarious immediately assuming my nationality because I’m pointing out your bullshit! :D

There were altercations with the native American people, particularly with the Cherokees at first. There was also domestic strife with the white settlers during the Whiskey and Shay Rebellions concerning taxes and civil rights that lasted well up until 1796

Good to hear that local conflicts are considered “war” in this article.

Now do USSRussia.

If I remember right, no. If I clean boot, load sddm, immediately type my password and log in, then I have to wait a while for the mouse to start working.

But if I clean boot, load sddm, wait the same 5-10 seconds, then the mouse starts working on the login screen and then just continues to work once logged in.

Why would you even type something like this when it’s so fucking easy to disprove?

Someone is still in his red scare days

Yeah, it’s telling that it’s literally everybody who has a border with them.

So fuck off nazi bootlicker

You were saying something? These dudes got 4 times more votes than any far-right party in Ukraine’s history. How about you go policing fascists in your own country?

But this is a case of the lesser evil. Against the imperialist US mass murderers and a fascist-infested

Christ, you’re literally insane, bro. :D

If you took all, even the suspected, “mass murders” of the US, and multiplied that by 100, you wouldn’t get anywhere near the amount of blood USSRussia has on its hands.

While they are turning super heavily towards fascism in the US, you have literal fascism (just wearing slightly different uniforms) in USSRussia. Not to mention them employing literal Nazis in their army.

And the use of “imperialist” as a derogatory term against the US, while USSRussia has had more wars of aggression since the Second World War by a factor of 3 is just hilarious, when you call the reds “lesser evil”.

And the west is lucky Putin is in charge, he has some restraint and brains

So many brains! Smeared all over the front-lines in Ukraine, it seems, but - thanks to Putin’s restraint - they’re still sending suicide soldiers against machine-gun fire…

Unlike that loose cannon Trump or some warmongering EU vazal screamers. I know plenty Russians criticise him for being too soft and if he gets replaced thing would get ugly fast.

LOL, “get ugly” how? They’re scraping the bottom of the barrel right now. Dude, they’re storming the front-line ON MOTORCYCLES, and you’re afraid that it’s gonna “get ugly”? With what? They’re going to attack Finland on mopeds?? :D

genocided

You don’t seem to understand what the word means, and in the context of the rest of your rant, it’s hilarious. :D

Also, you should get your points straight. You seem to enjoy the fact that Ukrainians are dying, but at the same time complain that US is supporting them, making them die more…

You don’t seem to be criticising russia, though. Everyone’s a fascist, according to you… What about russia?

the orchestrated coup

Right, right…

banderites (decline of that evil cancer country)

Ah! Are you Polish, by any chance?

And is the orange clown not still sending weapons to the banderites? Has he not done it all the time?

Mate, the US has restarted military support to Ukraine on day 3… They’re making it difficult and limited, but both military aid and Starlink access are unrestricted right now.

It’s a common way to say someone was dupes by something, “they bought it” meaning they fell for it.

Mate, are you OK? I know what the phrase means and I’m struggling to see which part of my reply gave you the impression otherwise…

there was antitrust brought under the Biden admin. [link]

What is your argument here, exactly? That Trump appointing an anti-Big Tech person to lead the anti-trust section of the DOJ was… a bad thing… because Biden did stuff for anti-trust…? Hmm?

The point being GOP was only anti big-tech in rhetoric (…) He is either lying, or not paying attention.

Sigh…

Don’t take it the wrong way, it’s not an attack, just a statement of fact: people like are the reason democracy is failing.

In most countries democracy has a 4-year turnover. One party comes in, says “we’ll do X”, gets to do their thing for four years, and then… It turns out that “X” takes 6 years to implement so people like you go “they lied to us, they didn’t do X!”. Now, the other party sees that and says “oh, trust us, we’ll do Y” and “Y” is a bullshit non-issue or a non-solution to an actual issue, but it only takes 3 years to implement, which gives them a nice boost and a potential for re-election.

This creates a vicious cycle of parties becoming more and more populist, saying they’ll “solve poverty by increasing minimum wage” (where the actual solution is massive changes in regulation and policy that would take a decade to implement), or “kick out immigrants to give back jobs to true XYZ” (where “true XYZ” don’t want to do the jobs that immigrants take, and the solution, again, would be proper regulatory (and executive!) action, but that takes a decade or two to implement). Etc., etc.

Now, back to the point - yes, you’re right. A lot of stuff happened during Biden’s tenure. But A LOT of that stuff was started by Trump’s administration, or the actions of the Trump administration opened the doors for a lot of what Biden did.

Here’s a list of some of it:

DOJ Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google (2020)- Focused on Google’s deals with Apple and others to maintain default search engine status, thus harming competitors.

FTC Antitrust Lawsuit Against Facebook (December 2020)- To potentially break up Facebook by forcing it to divest those companies.

DOJ Antitrust Review of Big Tech (2019)- Laid groundwork for later actions, like the 2020 Google lawsuit.

FTC Tech Task Force (2019)- Re-examined acquisitions like Facebook’s of Instagram and WhatsApp.

Trump’s Executive Order on Section 230 (May 2020) to weaken legal protections that shield social media platforms from liability over user content and moderation decisions. - didn’t get much done as actual change would require Congressional action. But it intensified scrutiny of Big Tech.

Other indirect actions: Trump supported conservative-led Congressional hearings and investigations into Big Tech’s political power and influence or pushed the idea that companies like Amazon were harming small businesses and exploiting USPS

it is trivial for a person to move to an instance who’s ruleset better aligns with their wishes

How?

Can I just move my existing account to a different instance? Or do I need to create a new account on another instance?

to die for the US interests

How does this propaganda point hold water now that the US interests are so clearly aligned with russia and against Ukraine?

The problem with this, is if he was paying attention AT ALL, it’d be clear that the republican stance “against big tech” was always a lie.

Nobody ever suggested otherwise. I specifically mentioned that myself.

The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.

He didn’t “buy into” anything. He didn’t become a Republican, WTF are you people talking about? He literally said, that at the time GOP was more anti-Big Tech and pro-consumer than the Democrats and that a specific appointment was a good choice.

Since when does stating facts mean you’re “buying into someone’s BS”?

Unfortunately, yes.

Mods censor EVERYTHING

This is not a Reddit issue, this is a “subreddit I’m subscribed to” issue. I’m not seeing that problem.

The problem I AM seeing, though, that’s ACTUALLY making it unusable is how they fucked up the latest UI redesign. Ctrl+Enter no longer works, spellcheck is force-disabled when using the Markdown editor, posts no longer open in a panel, you have to open each one in a separate tab or reload the main feed every single time, everything is slow and clunky… It’s just badly written, badly optimised and badly designed overall.
