Keep strawmanning, I said none of that.

No I don't call people "to my left" commies. I even specifically said "Zohran isn't a communist". But by all means, keep attacking the strawman that you put up. Doesn't change the fact that the Soviet Union was a terror state that screwed up several countries and killed millions (and if you need the clarification, millions after WW2 was over). I'm done talking to a wall, have a nice day.

Edit: and to your point about the Soviet Union joining the allies - I would very much rather they didn't start the war along with Nazi Germany by invading Poland at the same time, signing a nonagression pact with the Nazis, sending people to gulags where thousands died. But that's a tiny detail right, who cares that they were one of the two that started it all.

Yeah and you can't, you missed the window, tough shit.

Paid copies of the game were taken away from people for the crime of "not migrating an account when we told them to". Either because they didn't play at that time but wanted to go back, because they didn't have access to the email / didn't read the one the account is registered on, or didn't bother with it.

I said "communism as it was in history should evoke a negative reaction. You then jumped in saying what basically amounts to "you are a nazi mad about losing". I then said "no, I am mad about attrocities done to the various peoples because of the soviet union. To which you then respond "what else are we supposed to do?"

So:

  1. You are arguing that communism as it was in history shouldn't invoke a negative reaction

  2. You are calling me a nazi

  3. You are deflecting from the attrocities of communism and going "whatabout capitalism".

So no response to "this is impossible, four dudes would need to carry the entire chassis in through a residential door" other than insults. Gotcha.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. And your story has a huge gaping hole in the middle of it that you cannot explain.

My solution is to not glorify the Soviet Union as some sort of enlightened country when in reality it was a shithole that killed millions of people.

Also, don't put words in my mouth. Just because you think in "tribes" and everyone that doesn't think exactly like you is your enemy, doesn't mean other people are just as naive.

He's Australian. The world doesn't revolve around the US - most people actually don't care about it.

The second point is if you missed the window to "migrate" your account to a microsoft account, you don't have minecraft anymore. They just completely deleted your account and you are unable to play.

No, about Katyn and the years of occupation that followed till 89' actually. And about Holodomor. And about using tanks against civilians. And about a ton of other things that tankies don't know about because they think the Soviet Union was perfect

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world -1 points 5 days ago

Yes, because there is only one party you mean. Oh, no, you didn't mean the KGB, the black cars disappearing people, you just wanted to go "whatabout Murica" like that matters to the fact that communism hasn't worked out in history and resulted in oppression.

Communists absolutely were authoritarian shitheads.
