“Fox News’ audience is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections.”

I don't know specifics off-hand, but from what I recall we were rather .. opportunistic .. with how we treated Russia and former Soviet bloc countries, which sort of helped create a climate that allowed people like Putin to actually get power.

kidkissinger posted:The country is demonstrably worse off under the stooges the US helped install but ok. Certainly the fall of the USSR only affected Russia, and the tremendous drop in GDP and life expectancy had nothing to do with Russia imperialistically plundering client states to enrich its oligarchs, followed by having to plunder its own people to maintain those oligarchs New Russia not being good doesn’t mean USSR was better

Lightning Knight posted:Jesus that’s loving stupid. Unionize all congressional and political staffers and ban unpaid internships nationwide. Unpaid internships are already essentially illegal in private employment, but government jobs are exempt and covered under a different law. Hellblazer187 posted:Any good books anyone can recommend to get a better perspective on the USSR. I was raised at least partially when they were still a thing and subject to the commies = bad propaganda. But also I'm now as I'm older much less enthused about capitalism. I'm really not able to say whether the fall of the USSR was good or bad and I guess it's a big enough event that I should have an opinion on that. The fall of the USSR by itself was neutral, I'd say. The question is really what came after. The USSR wasn't exactly a beacon of global goodness or anything, but the US mismanaged the post-Soviet era so badly that things probably ended up worse in the end. Just when the Cold War was starting to deescalate and the US's worst Cold War excesses were finally being reined in, the rapid collapse of the Soviet Union removed the primary global check on US power and led to End of History fucklords thinking the US president was the eternal emperor of the entire world and behaving as such. As for Russia itself, its kleptocratic leadership and its current aggressive behavior on the global stage are both directly traceable to its disastrous transition to a free market economy, where the policies favored by the IMF and other free market advocates devastated the Russian economy for most of the 90s. If the West had made an honest attempt to rebuild the Eastern Bloc and treat them as friends and soon-to-be equals, the collapse of the Soviet Union probably would have been a net good. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

This style of economic system would at least be run by Brides of Satan, so it would be an improvement, even if one eye of newt would now cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Also, relevant to this page.

I am also suggesting that people like HW and Bill Clinton who facilitated this deserve to be blamed for that instead of the story conveniently coming to a screeching halt in 1991.

IMO, it ought to be, it's cut and dry as all hell and probably the most nakedly brazen thing he's done. He doesn't even lie about it anymore and this is something we definitely need to etch in motherfucking stone for future presidents. We don't want our own Putin, making billions off being in charge.
