I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

more like BOLLOCKnese

The Scarf My Father Wore

So sure I am a Gryffindor true, from Hogwarts I did roam,
To see my wizarding brethren all of bravery and renown,
And to tell them of my forefathers who learned in days of old,
That I might have the right to wear the scarf of Gryffindor bold!

Chorus:
It is old but it is beautiful, and its colors they do shine,
It was flown at Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and the Quidditch field's design.
My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of old,
And in each class, I love to wear the scarf of Gryffindor bold.

For those brave students who did strive have not learned or fought in vain,
Our bravery, intelligence, wit, and friendship to maintain,
If the call should come, we'll follow our house, and learn with pride once more,
That tomorrow's Gryffindor will wear the scarf my father wore!

to be clear, keffals used to identify strongly as a communist, and even has a photo of herself standing in front of a bookshelf with that has one of the earlier works debunking the myth of the Holodomor (presumably that she had read it), so the issue is that for her to do a 180 and chase after acceptability among the liberal political sphere is a product of her seeking a wider, more moneyed audience, at the cost of drawing disdain among leftists who used to know her

Whaat? I'm shocked.

I gotta be honest I can't blame anyone for not going hard on "the Holodomor wasn't a genocide" right now. You aren't going to convince anyone and all you'll accomplish is turning yourself into persona non grata anywhere but the shrinking circle of the dedicated online left.

on the one hand yes

on the other hand you don't have to put yourself in a situation where you have to discuss whether or not the Holodomor was a genocide, unless you really want to

like, you just don't have to talk about it

or perma'd here

this shouldn't be surprising, and if it is, read some lenin. if you ignore all the rhetoric, your freedom to speak is really a freedom to say things that are compatible with those that have power keeping it. and no, saying 'x is bad' does not actually count as long as your proposed actions are ineffective

Is there something else that's bothering you Mr. President?

The Holodomor is a perfect example of a lie going around the world before the truth has a chance to pull it's trousers on - by the time you are even halfway to beginning to explain how the now commonly-accepted version of events came about, anyone who didn't believe you at the start has already tuned out or has become so enraged they won't listen, it's not a hill to die on in most cases, unless someone you trust specifically asks you about it in good faith.

100%, picking fights about this is a surefire way of alienating people you might otherwise convince of other positions just because of how poisonous the topic is

It's kinda the opposite of environmentalism, which i see as one of the best innocuous gateway topics for harder questions about the future of capitalism

I think the problem you run into is that, at some point, people need to understand the role of the US in global affairs (and the general way capitalism affects the world as a whole, not just within US borders), and these beliefs generally exist because a person fully believes US propaganda about foreign countries (and thus the US itself to some degree).

When someone doesn't understand this stuff, you inevitably end up running into irreconcilable differences about very important issues (because the way they understand the world is fundamentally flawed to almost the same degree as any other American liberal/conservative).
