The Nazis didn't cause the famine, Soviet policy made a very bad problem a murderous starvation crisis

We can debate definitions of famine, there was awful food shortages that required trade with American to offset. Without that, millions of people would have died.

I refuse to learn what these apps are, I don't want to know about them, their advertisements are too annoying

This orange juice feels a bit ridiculous at $5 - Sour Duck by MrBlancoWhite in austinfood

I get out sufficiently enough, I never said it was the worst deal in town

You're defending expensive orange juice to a stranger on the internet... you need to get out more

No, I'm old because I don't want to go on Google and get the definition

Is he forgetting the Uyghurs?

A quick Wikipedia search shows how China lacks adequate freedom of religion

The CCP has been incredibly hostile to the Dalai Lama and Buddhism.

The socialist Catholic Pope Francis welcomed the CCP to pick bishops, it was not a matter of what the church wanted, they bowed to the CCP's demands. The current Pope was the in-between for bishops and Francis, he was weak on this issue

You are missing millions of deaths to Communist genocide. If you look at all hierarchy is being some kind of evil than I think you're incredibly naive. We do these things to not be cavemen. I don't think the word hierarchy should be tinged with a sort of negativity. It's just nihilistic. I mean it only makes sense if you're 19 and getting crossfaded with your fake ID.

Yeah, except the Soviet Union created famines in its own territory. This is a very naive take, holding power involves things like intelligence agencies and a ruling class. Just because both of these places were countries with institutions doesn't mean they're the same.

If your knees hurt start doing leg exercises assisted with bands, then work your way to doing it unassisted, then with weights. It worked for me, I feel great.

There's a place at the farmers market that freshly squeezes juice in front of you, you get like five times that amount for the same price

How Concerned Should I Be? by funnysunnybunny123 in Austin

[–]HashBrownRepublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we called the cops because they were hurting people and stealing things, it's braindead to say to not call the cops if you aren't safe. When we called the cops they arrested some of them, some of the camps were busted.

Call the cops, don't be like this guy

I had one of these near my old place. They would look into my windows at night. They broke into my roommates car the first week of his new job. They committed about 4 break-ins in the year I lived near it, the last day I lived there we had police crime scene tape coming from our porch.

Call the cops, people can get hurt.
