some people kill a few people, some people kill a lot. Both are murderers. If you can support one it shows your moral failure.

Were they not?

I’m really not sure what the intent was here.

Political illiteracy from a hexbear user? That’s certainly something I didn’t expect.

Tell me more about how democrats are not like republicans. How they’re not owned by the billionaires. How they didn’t deport people. How they implemented medical care for all. How they codified Roe.

This is not “both sides” but quite the opposite - there’s a good and progressive side (top of the stick) and a depraved and evil side (bottom of the stick). While the parties differ in their demeanor (e.g. civility, rule of law), their goals are quite similar, which is why both are at the same position on the political spectrum.

I’m with you but the snark is a bit much

It’s not perfect but I think this is what people in this thread are fighting for. Which isn’t stupid imo

Are you by chance from the US? Because other countries have sensible zoning laws and public transit, making cars for families not a necessity but a luxury. Where I live, nobody needs a car. Shopping is done by cargo bike or hand cart, family trips are taken by train or metro.

If you live in a stupid country tho people might depend on cars.

Take it as a learning opportunity, and maybe consider reading a book some time

What do you think of tianmen square?

Nice big urban square, lined with beautiful historical buildings.

What do you think of the Uyghurs?

You don’t meet them too often, but the ones I met were nice people.

Did the URSS create famines?

Famines in the USSR were caused by a multitude of factors - drought and (civil) war being the most prominent. The war was brought to the USSR by outside forces - the whites where financed by the UK and the US, WWII was brought to the USSR by Germany. So famine in the USSR was created by western forces more than anything.

After 1947 there were no known famines. Since famines were a regular occurrence before we can conclude that the Soviets effectively ended famines in their territory by then.
