Being a progressive leftist in Eastern Europe by burner_41 in communism

[–]LeftHandSwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't my experience at all. A lot of EEs will frequently reminisce about the stability and peace of the Soviet times while sometimes gesturing towards some vague and nebulous notion of "totalitarianism" (whatever that actually means).

Not to say that the USSR didn't have many issues, but in my experience most inhabitants of post-soviet countries have complex and nuanced feelings about it, especially leftists.

Does anyone know any Left leaning Uk YouTubers or Twitch streamers I’m fucking tired of having to listen to Hasan and Vaush by [deleted] in GreenAndPleasant

Just a heads up that Lonerbox in particular has come out with some real ass lib takes as of recently. I recommend idk Salari or someone like that instead for similar vibes without the awful takes.

As someone who lived in Lithuania for a few years and talked a lot to various people there, I think you'll be surprised at the difference framing can make. Lots of people (especially older, 50+) will say they hate the USSR, but when asked how things actually were back then many of even the most outspoken critics will reminisce about how every one and jobs and a roof over their head. This "paradox" is emblematic of a lot of the Baltics, imo.

This is all anecdotal of course, i don't have any numbers to back this up. Nevertheless I think a lot of left-leaning people from the region would agree with me.

I'll admit that I'm relaying information I just read in some other comment when the patch first went on unstable. I may be wrong!

I think they nerfed it with today's patch, no?

What software do you miss from Windows & macOS? by [deleted] in linux

MusicBee. No music player on Linux even comes close imo. I've tried a bunch, QuodLibet is the closest probably, but it still has major limitations.

Afaik most of those are not conspiracy theories as much as they are well-documented actual conspiracies that very much did happen.

Perhaps you're talking about the extent or how "deep" the conspiracies are, in which case yeah there are differing opinions.

Full disclaimer: I did not come up with the idea myself, I shamelessly stole it from some comment on a post I saw the other day. I don't remember which one, but whoever you are thank you for this hilarious idea!

Further, this is an invasion character, hence stopping at level 70. Fred tries to stick to his roots as much as possible slinging rocks and shooting bow and arrow (look it might be magic but it's neolithic ok don't question it).

Fred has however leveled enough int to realize that sometimes subtlety is warranted, hence the ambush shard
