there's a lot of hosed up stuff in dnd, but for some reason the EE thread consensus being that Anne applebaum is a) a non ideological b) historian who c) actual historians must be left wing extremists to dispute the work of is sending me. I figured dnd were all liberals but you have to be extremely right wing to believe those three things. in light of the alt right pyf pedo being a big dnd guy I guess I should revise my understanding of dnd ideologies. prob a lot of right wingers hanging out being smart enough to just not openly say they're right wing.

i googled anne applebaum and she appears to be an american millionaire from yale so i'll just apriori assume she's another rich faildaughter "journalist" and everything she says about anything outside the USA is insanely wrong

she also quite recently wrote a book the gist of which was 'why do all these rightwinger friends of mine turn out to be fascists/nazis?'
a genuine 'why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock?' moment that this article dissects pretty nicely

They can provide the ruling classes' kids in their puppet states a very good quality of life from the surplus extracted by their parents. Case in point all those iranian shah cronies.

LOL at using the Nation to criticize someone as a dubious source, a publication that long threw its leftist credentials in the trash by mouthing off shameless Putinite propaganda.

all the right wingers are libs now and the liberals had to migrate to saying "we're socialist too! but not like those awful tankies, here's why we want to hug and kiss NATO -"

ted hitler hunter posted:

You start out in 1947 by saying, “socialist, socialist, socialist.” By 2016 you can’t say “socialist”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, authoritarianism, human rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about opposing sending tanks into Hungary to crush resistance to Soviet communism in 1968, and all these things you’re talking about are totally theoretical things and a byproduct of them is, socialists get hurt worse than other leftists.… “We oppose tankies this,” is much more abstract than even the human rights thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “socialist, socialist.”

while the brave geniuses in that thread are asserting that the soviets deliberately set out to starve their own people to death, is there a word for this:

Just incredible. Now that it's been established that even liberal historians don't consider the Ukranian famine a genocide, a mod walks into the thread and just declares that it was a genocide and bars any further discussion.

that doesn't count because it's not the Taliban deliberately starving their own people, which would be bad, it is a foreign country deliberately starving their people in order to punish them for disobedience, which is good

It's not about being good, it's about being less bad. It's not as wrong to starve foreigners to death because your own countrymen have higher moral value.

No I will not be examining this further. Good day.
