Gordon Brown grows to incredible proportions and turns green whenever he is angry. He was exposed to gammon radiation by an old lady. He threw a tank once. I seen it.

I mean yeah, and operation paperclip was a thing. The US was not really particularly bothered about nazis unless it was causing problems for them.

Plus if you're expecting to fight the soviet union, well, who has the most experience doing that on a theater-scale?

particularly ironic being that the nazis lost very badly to the soviets

I still vividly remember Gordon Brown allegedly punching that old lady as he screamed bigot in her face. I'm not making that up and will ask the mods to ban anyone suggesting it's not the truth

You could argue that the way to avoid that was "do not try to invade the soviet union" which to their credit, the US did not try.

interestingly, the USA had already invaded the soviet union, early on during their civil war, and completely fluffed all their objectives so memory holed it while the soviets absolutely never forgot it

i have an office mate who regularly participates in strongman competitions, and he needed two other guys to move a typical office photocopier ten feet without a dolly. the thought of anyone "throwing" one is insane

He absolutely could have picked it up alone, but it would have been damaged by him taking a good grip with his giant claws, like Gordie did.

The Wikipedia article on this is amazing in showing just how much of a clusterfuck the whole thing was: what starts out as allied troops rushing to shore up the Eastern Front and stop the Ottomans from seizing the oilfields in Baku morphs into “maybe we can coup the Bolsheviks?” and various commanders randomly signing up to help one warlord or another with apparently no coordination at all as their troops sat around wondering why they hadn’t been demobilised yet and occasionally mutinying.

No. Even at my most depressed this was never a thought that crossed my mind. If it did I think it'd be a sign to section me as I had lost my sense of self, just utterly alien a concept to me, laziest man alive

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

He is right that the overarching answer is the (re-)socialisation of housing construction though, so only a half-moron

It’s always funny when this discussion comes up in the UK because where I’m from in Canada (BC) housing has been so disproportionately expensive for my entire adult life that it takes up a huge amount of political oxygen. After about a decade of the provincial government actively trying to address housing issues with different measures, it’s abundantly obvious that this is the only way you can ever truly solve a housing crisis, and people are finally sort of coming around to that realization.

Your overall point isn't wrong, but Khan is significantly to the left of Starmer*, so this wouldn't 100% be a bad idea.

See I've always thought the solutions were obvious but because they don't benefit the people making all the money off the current way of doing things they just aren't given any oxygen by the people in charge.
