Worthwile to note that the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were longstanding allies before Operation Barbarossa and a critical amount of steel and oil that supplied the Nazi war machine after the allied embargo was supplied by the Soviet union.

Which says nothing of the monumental sacrifice given by Soviet civilians, but let’s separate that from Stalin’s policy, perhaps?

Worthwile to note here that the left of the French revolution, the Jacobins, did develop authoritarianism.

Which should have been a warning sign for all leftists to come, but alas…

I don’t live in the US, praise be to allah.

Yet, somehow, I do get confronted daily with your insanity.

Really impressed by the amount of USian protests against this insanity.

You will make many friends in the Baltics or the Balkans I am sure.

Pretty sure they didn’t have to “break the news” on that.

Preach!

Italians make bread without salt… Bah!

They confused Central French with Northern French, but it’s true that classic French cuisine, both northern and central, use too much dairy.

I mean I love France with all my being, but there’s no denying the use of cream and butter (or cheese in Northern French cuisine.

Except… there is actual evidence… And Amnesty International verified the human right abuses independently.

The CCP even acknowledged the existence of, what they like to call, “re-education camps”.

You’re denying gross violations of human rights by an Imperial regime.

Sorry, got confused with the unanimous vote before it, which sanctioned Libya.

There was a full-blown civil war in Libya well before the intervention of NATO (which had unanimous support from the UN security counicl).

Curry shops even moreso.

Condoms are horrible for birth control though.

Here is a video about a Finnish city where plenty of people bike with -10 temps: https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU

Don’t bike that day. Bike the other 364.

Sent to you from the Netherlands where people still cycle in hurricanes.

I think their nationalism is a response to lemmy users showing a lack of solidarity with Ukrainian people being forced to fight and die in a war of Imperial agression. For example if that war is called ‘complicated’ or an ‘NATO proxy war’.
