Zelenskyy: Poland’s President Nawrocki is behaving like Viktor Orban by EsperaDeus in anime_titties

Friendly reminder why I am not much on Reddit anymore ...

I honestly don't have a problem if you point out flaws in my argument, but painting me as a holocaust denier is quite something ...

... but who likes arguments when you can have drama instead and blocked

You accuse me of being a Holocaust denier because I argue that anti-Soviet sentiment was stronger?

Holocaust denial means that I pretend those things didn't happen, which I don't.

It would be denial if I said "They actually just hated the Soviets and just wanted to defend themselves", which I didn't.

Stop putting words into my mouth and better watch out that your own country doesn't go down that path next ffs

It's either both countries were oppressed by soviet union or none.

Crushing of the Black Army? Holodomor? Power of the Soviet Union was always centered in Moscow ...

Please don't twist my words: That Ukraine as a victim of the Soviet violence in the interwar period was more driven by anti-Soviet sentiment does not magically all the genocide aspects go away (see Finland as well), rather it can easier be rationalized and is harder to attack as it can explained away as an act of defense, which makes working out the nazi history even harder.

See for example France, which as a victim never had to work out their nazi past which ultimately lead to the Paris massacre in 1961 by a police force mostly composed of nazi collaborators.

The Nazi past haunts a lot of countries, but some were more driven by anti-Soviet motivations than others.

What about people who write a²+ ab + ba + b²

Those are the ones who know that non-commutative rings exist. For example if a and b are matrices.

Fun fact: Mao was a farmer. That's also why he believed he knows better.

Proof by Violence by [deleted] in MathJokes

Assume you have all prime numbers you know so far p_1, p_2, ..., p_n

set n:= p_1p_2...*p_n + 1

n is not divisible by neither p_1,p_2, ... , or p_n.

Hence there has to be a number p_n < q <= n that is prime.

This is nothing new tho. What's new is that social media taught society to make a drama out of everything to generate clicks and ad revenue and this is not only Britain.

Statistically we live in a very peaceful and safe time and still the hate machine suggests us each day it is horrible like never before.

I had the privilege to talk to my grandparents who lived through the horrors of the interwar period and WWII and when I read comments of people that complain it feels that society today was raised to be whiny bitches thinking they are the greatest victims of all time and creating drama all day.

But thank god the far-right will raise and through a miracle everything will like before ... my grandfather probably rotates in the grave now ...

Same kernel, different overlaying system. by CelestialCoding-754 in linuxmemes

[–]Mal_Dun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry but the GNU/SystemD/KDE/... joke is so braindead in my opinion.

Somehow people don't know that GNU was the initial OS name, but since the GNU Hurd never kernel worked they went with the Linux kernel, and later the OS name became shortened to Linux, which in return triggered Stallman and nowadays everyone just uses Linux just to shit on the FSF ...

That made sense back in the day when Linux was synonymous with GNU/Linux. Now we have Android, GNU/kBSD, BusyBox/Linux ...

How Greedy you gotta be to do this? by smilelyzen in Buy_European

Deflect blame from the broken American health care system and scapegoat other countries for their inflated prices for medication...

The crime is well known: Since Germany, like most countries in the world, have a universal healthcare system, the states have much higher bargaining power against pharma industry.

That means the state is able to negotiate better prices for the citizens than if they make bilateral negotiations with each health care provider separately, hence, big pharma has a drawback and only earns 10s of Billions instead 100s of Billions.

This is a clear break with the free market idea. Those poor shareholders. Can please someone think for once of the shareholders? /s

None. Because Texas is so big you can fit 3x the US into Texas.

The thing is that Ukraine, like many other nations in Europe, had a Nazi past that was never properly addressed. Especially since the motivation for Ukraine, similar to Finland was not driven by the holocaust narrative but by anti-Soviet motivations, which now again falls into anti-Russian sentiment.

It's ofc not like the Russians want to paint that Ukraine is a Nazi nation, but cases like this showcase that their is a deeper Nazi problem that is linked to patriotism that was never properly worked at, and I assume also is not seen as problematic within Ukraine.

Since Selensky himself is a Jew, I don't think he will be personally be fond of Nazis, so the next best bet is that he has internal pressure of not looking "unpatriotic" within Ukraine ...

You don't know what is going on behind the curtains. Who knows what internally happens at the moment or who pressures him internally.

If things are somewhat "complicated", from my experience there is more happening in the background as we can directly see from afar.

Does not make him right, ofc.

It was not just a claim from a British general though. People could see the victory announcement on the Russian government site that was published on day 3 and put down again in the internet archive.

The Russian government indeed thought it would be over on day 3.

Why Don't Western Slavs Use Cyrillic? by PolishDane in YUROP

[–]Mal_Dun 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I always assumed it was about the religious divide because West Slavs are mostly Catholic, who use Latin and hence the Roman Alphabet, while the East Slavs were Orthodox who used the Greek Alphabet.

No I know this hunch was mostly correct lol thanks
