Not beathing the “don’t know shit about fuck” allegations.

Equating Hitler with Stalin is genocide apologia. You don’t know shit about fuck on this topic or, I suspect, any other related to historical communism, and for over a week now you’ve been showing your entire ass. Just stop.

No, you’re someone who was blatantly and obviously wrong and now over a week later you’ve moved the goalposts in order to declare victory.

Clearly you don’t know much about it, that’s why I’m trying to teach you.

Here’s one example that took place a year before the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact

The Munich Agreement was an agreement reached in Munich on 30 September 1938, by Nazi Germany, the United Kingdom, the French Republic, and Fascist Italy. The agreement provided for the German annexation of part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland, where more than three million people, mainly ethnic Germans, lived.

Neville Chamberlain and Édouard Daladier made a pact with Hitler to just give him their former ally, Czechoslovakia.

I think people got mad at something she said about Avatar on twitter (the cartoon not the movie), and her anti-fandom reached a critical mass spreading around every single thing she’d ever said that could be interpreted uncharitably, and with her book out and her presence on Nebula secured she decided that being on YouTube was more trouble than its worth.

The Nazis had pacts with literally everyone. The Soviets were one of the last to sign one, because they had spent the proceeding years trying to form an explicitly anti-Nazi pact with the capitalist nations, only to be rebuffed.

If Chamberlain had listened to Stalin, the war either wouldn’t have happened, or it would have been over much more quickly.

people my grandfather killed in WWII

YSK that it was tankies who killed 80% of the Nazis in ww2

It was but they had to change it for Shrek and the G-rated version became the canonical one.

ICE is America’s brownshirts and ICE agents are worse than regular cops (who are, obviously, bastards).

tfw I’ve never been warned about nudes in my text messages :(

Just checking: John Brown did nothing wrong, slave owners should be killed.

China continuing to claim the same seas that it has been claiming since the 19th century is imperialism, not the country from the other side of the world using legal warfare and gunboat diplomacy to deny them that claim

whatever you say bud

Brother 90% of the world’s labor is done by 50% of the countries, and it aint fukken Europe that’s doing the hard work to keep the global economy running.

And please point to any example of Chinese imperialism that has occurred in the last forty years. No, offering loans with better terms than what the IMF offers to African countries does not count.

You could say the same about every developed nation

“Developed nation” is a propaganda term designed to make you think that the overexploited nations of the world are on some mythical path that will lead them to a first world quality of life.

every western European country has already eliminated the worst kind of poverty and on average European citizens are better off than Chinese citizens

This is an apples-to-oranges comparison. Europe is the beneficiary of hundreds of years of imperialism and accumulation and the ongoing system of global unequal exchange, whereas China is a former victim of said imperialism that has pulled themselves out of the muck with their own workers’ labor. China is better off compared to India, which achieved independence not long afterward but has fallen far behind in every single development index because of their failure to overthrow capital.

What makes you think Xi is a dictator? If your answer is “because that’s the vibe I get from American Government propaganda”, then you should reassess the things you think you know about the world. The truth is that China has a very vibrant and active democracy that is much more responsive to the demands of its people than that of most other nations, and Xi is merely the one currently at the top of that democratic system.

Do you take the Chinese citizens at theirs?

We find that first, since the start of the survey in 2003, Chinese citizen satisfaction with government has increased virtually across the board. From the impact of broad national policies to the conduct of local town officials, Chinese citizens rate the government as more capable and effective than ever before. Interestingly, more marginalized groups in poorer, inland regions are actually comparatively more likely to report increases in satisfaction. Second, the attitudes of Chinese citizens appear to respond (both positively and negatively) to real changes in their material well-being, which suggests that support could be undermined by the twin challenges of declining economic growth and a deteriorating natural environment.

Very few governments on this planet have approval numbers this good, and even fewer have numbers this good when it’s a neutral third party conducting the surveys.

I think China would have to do a lot more for the avg person before they could be considered socialist or communist again

Within the last five years China completely eliminated the worst category of poverty in their borders. I’d say they are currently actively engaged in doing a lot more for the average person than most countries.

more recently expressed complete authority over such as Taiwan

What complete authority does the PRC have over Taiwan? Their position now is the same as its been for seventy years - they consider it part of their country but exercise no actual control over it.

The entire country tried to revolt in 1984 and millions of citizens were killed by their own military

Literally nobody claims that millions died, that’s flat earth levels of alternate reality.
