Listen comrade, the need to eat is Western propaganda. If you have food you will become fat and lazy like the bourgeois.

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Close. The official state of the federation moderated by the sites creator is they were all nazis anyway. Wish i could put a /s here.

You know it's the weekend when PugJesus is making memes about the Balkans xD

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My dude, are you American? Neither Ukraine or Kazakhstan is in the Balkans.

It's like mixing up Australia with China.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say that. It's more like lopping Mongolei as a part pf China.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, that would be malicious, this is just stupid.

Ukraine is 1500 km away, Kazakhstan is 3500 km away from the Balkans.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How far away from Romania is Ukraine again? 😘

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

How is that relevant? Romania is not in the Balkans, if you take some very permissive interpretation, then the very south of Romania might be part of it.

I mean you're right, but I don't really pride myself in my Geographie knowledge 😅

[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

nah. he should have let the nazis have it.

i'm sure that would have been a better outcome for the planet.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Kazakh famine and the Holodomor were in the early 1930s, years before the Nazis invaded Ukraine, even before the Nazis had seized power in Germany.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Beerhall Putsch occurred when? Surely the Nazis went away until 1933.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How is the Beerhall Putsch connected to the Holodomor?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fat fingers deleted rather than edited.

It's connected to Nazis, who surely went silent and inactive until the Reichstag fire.

For further reflection: how long has the United States' Heritage Foundation been working on the plans that led to P2025? It's an old playbook that's had pragmatic but minor adjustments since the Civil War, and this is why classical BA studies should be required, and begun in primary school.

Edit: it probably began in the Levant, maybe Sumer. I need to think about that.

It’s connected to Nazis

I hope I'm misreading this - the Holodomor is not at all connected to the Nazis.

I read the whole thing. I think I understand it as a stand-alone statement, I was just reading it in context of the Holodomor, which threw me off.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

It doesn't help that I've been dealing with a neighborhood series of minicrises, inclement weather and doomscrolling for days. Way too much rolling around in my head.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 day ago

What I really want is a comprehensive overview, since I think there was a convergence of events, some natural, some induced, that led to these occurrences. At any rate, the masses suffered the losses, the money makers did fine.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ah yes, the two choices, genocide or Nazis.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Thats the world tankies live in. Its always russia vs usa, nazis vs ussr, etc.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml -5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

no. the better option would be kulaks not burning all the fucking food down in their hissy fit.

i guess its nazis, then?
