  • Oh, it’s one of my favourite flavors of copium.

    Someone starts complaining about some rotting systems and crises or other, libs nod along, then the magical C-word comes up and they’re like “WAIT, NOT LIKE THAT! That’s not how capitalism is supposed to work, that’s bad bad evil bad corporatism. We can fix it with proper legislation an stuff and things!”.


  • О, дополнительный лулз.

    Тяга про-западных блядей к проекциям грехов хозяев на Россию и Китай - это не ново, в конце концов вы, карго-культисты, за хозяевами только повторять и можете, но не перестаёт быть смешным, что псевдолевые дегенераты, искренне считающие себя свободными мыслителями, с пеной у рта защищают центр империализма и главных спонсоров геноцидов, просто потому, что были шокированы реальностью в какой-то момент и не выросли из абстрактного гуманизма.










  • Oh ffs…

    The elections don’t need to be rigged. There is no one competing with Putin. People know what to expect with him, don’t believe in shuffling shit around expecting another outcome, he laid out a fuckload of plans, including social programs in his address to the Federal Assembly, all with “Budget already allocated” clause (and, you know…some of it at least will find it’s way to people) and there is a saying in Russian about changing horses in midstream too.

    Also, turnout this year was probably pretty big without VCIOM having to bump it up in their reports. People weren’t voting to say they love Putin. They were sending a signal to libruls and the like (there are some pretty hilarious videos of them showing up to the polling stations thinking the line outside is for their little boycott and finding multiple people in “Putin’s team” t-shirts, shit like that). And in places like Belgorod people also went “fuck your terror bombings, Imma vote anyway”, because of course they did.


  • Drawing on the Chinese example, PuYi abdicated in 1912, then in 1934 the Japanese put him on the throne as Emperor of Manchukuo. 20 years of being just a regular guy (in theory) did not diminish his usedulness as a figurehead.

    That’s pretty much the “strategic situation” I mentioned - there was real risk of them falling into the hands of the Whites. What I meant to point out is that there was no good reason to just up and kill him at the time. Its not like he was in command of the movement or anything.

    More broadly, the focus on the Romanov children is just a vector for the spread of anti-communist propaganda.

    Sure, but not coming from me. Still regrettable, not something to replicate.

    The propaganda aspect is especially obvious since OP’s friend invoked the nonsense emotional appeal of “would you shoot the Tsar if he were me?”

    Yyeap. Even modern monarchist schitzos get some people into their bullshit by riling them up about it and many don’t wanna hear nothing about there having been no orders from Moscow afterwards.

    There is a reason Soviet textbooks talked about the topic sparingly if at all. It wasn’t something that went as planned or desired at all.


  • "Would you shoot the Romanov’s even if it was me?! " “No sympathy. And yes, I would shoot regardless of personal connections”

    What for though? Where is political pragmatism?

    The amount of memes on the subject I see from western leftists makes me question if there are very few sources available in English or it’s just juvenile cruelty. It was local initiative, strongly influenced by strategic situation during the civil war in the region. Nicolas was “citizen Romanov” by then and the party had a 1001 reason to keep him and his family alive, including plans for a public trial. Lenin was pushing for their evacuation to Moscow. Also…moral implications of killing a couple of teens that were there, anyone? Kill them, because they were born into the wrong family? How very conservative… Not to mention penty of nobles up to and including at least one Major General of the Imperial army I can remember went on to form the core of the Red Army.

    Consider the implications for propaganda too. Why create a bunch of martyrs for the Whites? Using exactly this argument, later that same year Maxim Gorky convinced Lenin let Nicolas’ sick second cousin go. Lo and behold - no one remembers Gavriil Constantinovich Romanov.

    How many people attended his funeral?

    For all of his fairy tales about support of the majority ~12k. And that’s fucking Moscow(population ~13million). For comparison ~50k attended funerals of Motorola and Givi in wartime Donetsk (population ~1 million). And those definitely didn’t have brainwashed libs traveling from afar to see the coffin of their dear Alexey Goebbels Jr. either. They sure did have the risk of an ukronazi terror bombing though.

    How many are being arrested for attending?

    Well, even your Ministry of Truth says that under a hundred, buddy. Wanna bet they were antagonizing the cops sent to provide security as a standard procedure for large gatherings?




  • Mfer, how about you learn degrees of adjectives before discussing socioeconomic issues? MY EYES

    BUT MUH CHARITY!

    Yeah, why wouldn’t we like Wayne/Stark/etc? It’s not like they’re “benevolent” trillionaires that don’t even contemplate revolution from above despite absolutely having the means and allegedly being geniuses. No, instead of cure they settle for bandages. Because they’re totally not a cultural cry for help of a civilization so brainwashed they see no better solution to the world’s problems than just kinda hoping for the coming of a benevolent capitalist savior.
