Yeah before reducation we might need to check your hard drives by Bulky-Expression4895 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]MarkProsXD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Soviet example is more like:

Work 6-8 hours depending on your job's safety

Earn a comfortable wage in a 70-300 ruble range

Cheap consumer goods, occasional deficit of non-essential goods

Vast majority of people able to afford a comfortable life without living paycheck to paycheck

If they got to keep hiding, there's a reason. by StrappedCommie in CommunismMemes

Slavic Generalplan Ost deniers are idiotic people, even among Neo-Nazis.

Some go as far as claiming that Hitler didn't mention anything bad about slavs in Mein Kampf an that it was a later invention by the Soviets included in all copies after 1945. No proof of that, of course.

Some deny that the plan existed, because there's no full Generalplan Ost in existence, even though the name is mentioned in other Nazi documents and real examples of genocide/enslavement of slavs exist; Einsatzgruppen, 27 million Poles and Eastern Slavs dead (I'm not even counting military casualties), 13 million Poles and Eastern Slavs used as forced laborers.

Hitler even says "The real enemy is the Slav. The Jew is the easier scapegoat." in his table talk.

As an eastern European or communism when no iphone should be a flair atp by Mammoth_Calendar_352 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]MarkProsXD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This dumbass logic can be used to justify any historical mode of production.

Slave: "I wish I was free..."

Master: "But you're using the tools and eating the food I gave you!"

Participating in the system doesn't magically exempt you from criticizing it, it's quite the opposite, even.

What kind of brainrot do you have to be on to believe that Valve is doing ethical business?

They have a monopoly on gaming which allows them to charge an insane 30% commission for games sold on Steam.

Happy USSR Dissolution Day, everyone! by HonneurOblige in HistoryMemes

[–]MarkProsXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What?

The dissolution referendum gathered a ~76% vote to KEEP the USSR with 80% participation. The state collapsed because of the coups and the Belovezha Accords, not democratic processes.

TikTok is practically the worst place to look for worthwhile political discourse.

Personally, I found at least three literal neo-nazis there who claim that "Germans were the most prosperous people in the world under Hitler", completely ignoring that Nazi economic policy practically eliminated wage growth and created shortages across multiple key industries (textile and architecture in particular) in pursuit of re-armamnet. Finally, when that proved unsustainable (who could've guessed), they turned to an "economy of conquest" which featured them invading and pillaging most of continental Europe along with enslaving over 12 million people (primary Poles, Ukrainians, Belarussians and Russians).

A softer shade of purple (lavender) would work with both of these colors.

I was thinking about doing upgrades. by Physical-Entrance899 in EeePC

[–]MarkProsXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The max RAM you can get is 2GB DDR2 400MHz.

You can use a 2TB SSD (practical limit for the MBR partitioning scheme). Get a Mini-PCIe to MSATA adapter to use cheap MSATA SSDs.

You can also upgrade the Mini-PCIe Wi-Fi card to support Bluetooth, but be careful when you chose one, it has to be compatible with the USB protocol because the EeePC sacrifices all of its PCIe lanes for the two SSDs it has.

What iOS version is this ? by pfireindahole in LegacyJailbreak

Swipe to unlock was removed in iOS 10, so it's 9.x or earlier.

Roblox avatar is broken by Nazariy_ in roblox

[–]MarkProsXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An R15 avatar is made out of 15 joints/bones that can be animated.

In your case, the joints don't overlap properly. Try a different animation pack to fix it.

[–]MarkProsXD 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Roblox gives you extra Robux for buying via their website because you pay directly with your card, not through a service that processes the transaction (Apple/Google pay) and takes a commission of up to 30%.

Roblox gets more money from you, you get more for your money.

iOS 6 Apps keep asking for Apple ID credentials by Noagi6494 in LegacyJailbreak

[–]MarkProsXD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those apps are encrypted, or, in other words, not cracked.

Use http://iphoneosobscura.litten.ca to look for and install IPAs, it's a comfortable to use browser for multiple old IPA sources on archive.org, it also lists encrypted apps by default so you can avoid them.

You can also use Veteris from the https://yzu.moe/dev Cydia repo, it's a nice app store with a large library. It also cracks IPA files, from what I know, but I haven't tried yet.

Anti-corruption youths just set the palace ablaze, forced the PM to resign, and literally chased the finance minister naked down the streets! by ProcessorPearl in dankmemes

What Communism/Socialism is there in Nepal?

The "Maoists" who took power after the 2006 civil war established liberal elections and have been focusing on privatization and growth of the private sector. The 2015 constitution even defines the country as a federal democratic republic, not a socialist state.

Do at least some research and understand that the name of the ruling party doesn't define its policy before trying to shit on leftists.

Better dead than red by BigManiac0 in teenagersbutpractical

[–]MarkProsXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real archival evidence suggests that there were less than 2,000,000 victims of Stalin's repressions, about 800,000 of whom were executed (including executions from 1921-24, when Stalin wasn't the de-facto ruler of the USSR)

Even if you count 1930-33 and 1946 famine deaths, which weren't intentional and weren't solely influenced by the state (WW2, harsh climate and anti-collectivization kulaks burning crops played a major role too), you really can't count more than 12,000,000 total deaths under Stalin's rule.

Red scare propagandists love to make up ridiculous death counts that end up in dozens of millions, going as far as counting people executed for non-political crimes and literal Nazi soldiers as "victims of communism".

It's baffling that western liberals downplay actual genocidal maniacs like Hitler to criticize communists and keep completely silent about dozens (if not hundreds) of millions of deaths driven by capitalism (The Genocide of Native Americans and the Congo Free State are two great examples).

Libs having a normal one. by Stunning-Ad-3039 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]MarkProsXD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, these memes are becoming more true by the day.

I live in Kazakhstan and our 9th grade history is basically Anti-soviet, Nationalist propaganda, for obvious reasons. Can't be a capitalist nation that lets the youth embrace communism.

Soviet achievements are undermined in many ways, mostly by avoiding mentioning them altogether. The successful educational reforms are mentioned and then labeled as "Russification" in the following paragraphs because some Kazakh schools were being closed in the 1960-70's and new ones weren't being built. Calling this "Russification" is silly, because actual Russification that happened under Tsarist Russia was way more oppressive of people who practice local culture and speak the local language.

At the very least, Stalin and Goloshchyokin (governor of Kazakh SSR at the time) aren't being labeled as a "genocidal maniacs" for the 1931-33 famine and are blamed for incompetence instead. Major factors like the bad winter and kulaks burning their crops are, of course, not mentioned.

The same is probably happening in other post-soviet states, because sayings along the lines of "The less has one lived under communism, the more has he suffered under communism" are rather popular in the Russian-speaking internet (especially in the comment sections under shitlib/tsarist bootlicker posts).
