Aah.
Is there something like the automod feature in reddit?
That would be solution to common misconceptions, right?

Aah. Sorry.
I was a bit wary since I got banned in a .world community when I shared similar pov's. I think there are some who equate Stalin to Hitler, so was trying to avoid needless fights on that.

I'm in the KL state.

Famines are never going to be pretty, right?
I have seen pictures online of the Bengal and Mangalore famines that India suffered under British rule.

My doubt on it is how much of it is natural and how much is intentional.
What do those historians say about that?

I have seen people arguing and discussing about it online, with everything ranging from intentional punishment to bureaucratic inefficiency to feudal farmlords burning their produce and animals during the famine to how famines were common in the region until the 1950's and also mentions of grain export

Also, which part of India, if you don't mind?

Southern India
Are you Indian too? Which part?

Overall positive.

I've heard that he supported the development of India. As an Indian, positive view here.

After joining lemmy, seeing arguments about him, got to know that he faced personal losses too, with his son, a soldier in the WW2, dying in a Nazi concentration camp as a PoW.

Have read that there were purges of officials and repression in fear of Nazi and other spies and that excesses did happen under his govt.
But considering how they were able to reduce poverty and were able to industrialise their nation, making them able to fight the Nazis, I see them overall positively.

Have heard about the famine too. But not sure if it was purposeful like how Churchill took away foodgrains from Bengal. So negative view on it, but not sure how to see it. Whether it is intentional or natural cause or inefficiency.

How do you feel about Hitler?

Isn't lemmy.world very very USA-centric? And they are keen on name calling you as a tankie if you mention things that do not go along with their view.

I was banned from a community there, because I mentioned the Munich agreement and shared my view opposing what the community had in a discussion that centred around the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.

Time to make accounts in lemmy.ml

I don't think they are that dogmatic too.
Like, they seem to support China lead by a Socialist/Communist/Marxist political leadership, that declares its aim as transitioning into socialism by 2050 or so.

Is 'Wet behind the ears' a comparison to a newborn baby?

They have no issues with sanctions on Cuba and NK, right?

Considering even this:
UN General Assembly calls for US to end Cuba embargo for 29th consecutive year

Cool
How is it?

Is Hexbear and LemmySDF unfederated?

Create an account in that instance and set default sort to local?

I got 3 dm's or so too. Is it some social experiment?
