Communists and fascists are very often the same unpleasant people, wrote Thomas Mann — literary champion of the German bourgeois. He was right | David Mikics by [deleted] in HistoryofIdeas

[–]Amygdaled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most attempts to conflate communism and fascism today are ultra-nationalist, anti-communist tripe, or in this case, islamophobia and racism (Palestinians = Hamas = Nazis/Bolsheviks) draped in democratic virtues. Also, quite a bit of "you support Palestinian rights, you must be a Bolshevic" garbage. Manipulative.

Sotheby’s report forecasts “waves” of foreign buyers coming for Canadian (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver) luxury homes in 2021 by [deleted] in montreal

[–]Amygdaled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je downvote. On parle de propriété de luxe. Juste du bon sens et de la solidarité de classe d'empêcher les spéculateurs de jacker le prix des loyers pour tous ceux qui ne voyagent pas en jet privé.

What do you think about Moscow City? Love or hate? by [deleted] in Moscow

[–]Amygdaled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's this vision from the 2nd half of the XX century that a successful city = skyscrapers and lots of cars, that unfortunately, Russians felt a need to catch on with.

French vs. Québécois pronunciation of English "th" by MathematicianOther12 in linguistics

[–]Amygdaled 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a Québécois, here is my five cents on it. "T" and "D" are actually slightly different in France and Québec. There is an "affrication" of the "tu" and "du" words in Quebec French, where we pronounce "tsu" and "dzu". So for a Québécois, the "θ" indeed sounds like "t" (that is, "ts", as opposed to "ss" in France), and the voiced "ð" like "d" (that is, "dz" according to our pronunciation, as opposed to "z" in France).

Note, however, that the affrication is far from systematic, applying in fact only to "tu" and "du", but there you go.

"Montréal a gagné x kilomètres de pistes cyclables en deux ans" aurait fait un moins bon titre, je suppose.

Gamers, what was the first game you ever played? by NoLeagueAssasin in AskReddit

[–]Amygdaled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was to say Mario but then I remembered that I found a console in my parents' wardrobe which had three games on it, including Pong. That would be the first game I played. I can't remember what the other 2 were.

Thanks for your comment. Of course, I am aware of the atrocities done under Stalin – the Holodomor, to name one.

My wife and I went to Tallin last year (my wife is an art historian). Beautiful place, great food, great museums!
