Frankly speaking, I see no actual chance of communism or even just socialism happening in my lifetime, hence I’d rather focus my remaining brain capacity on something that actually seems feasible.

It is not a finite solution but it is what it is.

Look I’d actually support socialism or at least strong social-capitalism. Just wanna make that clear.

Arguing certain things worked way better during the GDR does not at all refute my point of it not being a democracy apart from on paper. Child care for one worked incomparably better than it now does. Privatisation and more importantly the dissolvement of companies did not go well and is certainly still a problem. Actually it caused neo-feudalism in parts of the former GDR.

Stalin being officially reproachable does not actually mean he was reproachable. The kind of socialism the USSR practiced is in my opinion not all better than a well restricted capitalism. But to be fair, that is subjective and I am financially not in any kind of trouble.

It was not meant to be racist, the history of violence in Russia since I am vaguely aware of its history, does speak of itself. Certainly in the years since the founding of the RF, has violence among the people and state-sanctioned been a common thing. The wide-spread unrestricted violence can be openly observed in Ukraine. If you look at any macro-violense theories you see my point proven. All and I mean all factors for mass-violence are fulfilled.

Also if anything, my comment was xenophobic, racism is something different

Technically Belarus and Russia are democracies

Ah right so we go ad-hominum now? Frankly pretty low of you. Also it just sounds like a way to say that I am not allowed to have any differing opinion, simply because of my country’s past. Makes me want to find out where you’re from and tell you you’re not eligible to say anything because your country fucked up badly in the past.

You expect me to believe that USSR votes weren’t rigged from the get-go? Next you tell me the GDR was an actual democracy. To be fair I actually didn’t know that there were elections, which in hindsight should be obvious considering that they had a parliament. They still had dictators of much the time

As for the violence part, not that I am supporting that, but frankly it seems to be pretty much part of the Russian identity. It’s not like the USSR was not to take a friendly approach to any kind of civil unrest at all.

Quite funny of you to mention undemocratic in the context of the USSR, as if it had been a democracy even one day of its existence. And about illegal, most of the times a country and its constitution is absolved its technically illegal. I can only think of the German constitution that actually has clauses on how to legally phase it out.

And unregulated hyper-capitalism is what happens when communism fails

Digital slug race. Call a bookie, we need some betting

Getting killed by dead bugs or being yeeted into orbit for no apparent reason are the best. Shooting the autocannon at objects too close for comfort and then ragdolling into mines is a facepalm moment - it happens way too often

I am not even that old (25), but years of being exposed to toxic and try-hard competitive CS (without any actual incentive to be competitive) made me the same toxic shit. That’s why I stopped playing altogether, apart from co-op stuff. HD2 is exactly the kind of game that helps. I can become annoyed as well, but I realise that it is mostly at myself now for making stupid decisions. And generally it’s just about having fun. The fact that I can laugh about being tked in the most ridiculous and unnecessary way is great

Meanwhile I don’t have any clue as I only disable my PSU with a switch.

What the f*** is this? Where’s my TÜV? This is even a German license plate, what the third-world-hell is going on here
