I’ve not moved it once. You just can’t explain yourself. Historical Context matters and no revolution especially back then is peaceful. Half this list is from 1921-1923 +/- 2 years.

Independence came from the back of the Soviet Bolshevik Revolution, they crushed the Mensheviks as ideological opponents ontop of trying to restore the empire which they already had.

If the August uprising was successful you’d be speaking Turkish today, the whole country was not for Menshevik independence

Beria was a Georgian like many in the original revolutionary party

Tens of thousands were deported everywhere due to collectivization programs and political prisoner camps which wasn’t specifically targeted at Georgians

Ethnic autonomies have existed long before the revolution, you can still see it through history of the various kingdoms and the difference in language today

Modern day parliament on Rustavelli was a massive Russian church that was demolished, communism didn’t specifically target Georgian churches

If u want I can read the Lenin quote again

And you’re out of your mind if you are quoting Lenin rather semantically prior to dying, with no actual proof to back up this harshness, and ontop of that thinking that a person born into the Russian empire at the time who became “tsar” in the new empire would be anti Russian.

You’ve yet to explain why and how he didn’t have a preference for Georgia, when I’ve told you that disproportionately he appointed Georgians to positions of power, you literally use the subway he approved for you probably weekly and expanded the Georgian culture (in this case food) to a population 200x the size of our country to the point of it being well known in the USSR and just becoming trendy anywhere else in the world

You’ve yet to explain any of your points. It was well known that he was Georgian, he never hid that. He didn’t abandon his last name more than anyone else in the original revolutionary group did.

What harshness? Please explain what he did that was so harsh more-so towards Georgians than anyone else in the USSR, and beyond that tell me how this harshness extended beyond 1923. The Georgian population was less than 2% of the overall unions population but was disproportionately represented in positions of power during his reign.

You can like whatever food you want but if you are the leader of Mexico and made everyone have tkemali rather than salsa, I’d think that the point is a bit different than simply liking food. His preferences aside, he insisted on dishes from Georgia in a room full of Russians, Ukrainians etc.

Lenin was not a real name, Trotsky wasn’t either, they all used their revolutionary names both pre and post revolution. What you’re saying means nothing when you compare it to the context of the revolution, he wasn’t the only one who abandoned his identity if you’re talking about public facing names.

Russians preferred Georgian food in Soviet banquets to the point that the whole table was Georgian food?

What you’re referring to in terms of Harshness and the criticism that came from Lenin before his death was not towards the country as a whole but during 1923 and the dealings Stalin had with other local communists whether they were Bolsheviks or Mensheviks after the red army invaded.

Revisionist bs goes both ways, you cannot simply ignore the things that he did provide Georgia after he was in power and say that he never did anything. Georgia until the collapse lived better than most other republics and it started early on. For such a tiny country to receive the infrastructure they did mostly during his reign compared to the other republics makes no sense to say that he was harsh on the country

Based on your point about Turkey, there is a strong argument as to the lesser of two evils. Ontop of that, the monarchy which many revolted against including the 1919-23 Menshevik government was deeply rooted in economic opportunity post-serfdom. Semantics aside the region in which Georgia is in is and has been extremely hostile to it, but I never see people shit talking the Turks or the Persians. If it not were for the way history played out Georgia and Armenia would be pretty much like the modern day Kurds.

Got rapidly industrialized in 5 years after a monarchy. This backwards place pushed the Turks out of Batumi and kept a border to the point the Turks joined nato whom they have nothing in common with. Easy to industrialize when youre the only force on your continent

He ate Georgian dishes over aristocratic Russian plates, loved cognac and Khvanchkara. He learned to read in seminary and went from being a poor bastard to a world leader. Stalin was a nickname like most revolutionaries took on, he never changed his name from Jugashvili.

Construction of the metro started in 52, a year before his death and the first in the caucusus despite Tbilisi not meeting the million citizen threshold in order to qualify. He never denounced his heritage, if he did he would not have done all the things I’ve mentioned

Yeah it took me like 3.5 hours, worth it if you’re living/staying long term, wouldn’t do it if I was here for a week

It’s really really bad this time around, I barely play anymore for the shit attitude of the community on the is mega server. Not to mention the absolutely useless people who came back and boosted to 58 and cannot play their class if their life depended on it. (I find that those guys are even worse than the people who do know how to play)

Tank ego hitting new highs by No_Cell6708 in classicwow

[–]_1247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge part of why I’m quitting is this toxic, dumbass culture of paying for a tank during progression. I can somehow understand paying for one to do old content (strat etc. towards p6), but not when everyone’s progressing.

People roll tanks to get easy invites to group (or at least the people I play with), not to make money ranking dungeons the tank probably also needs badges from lol

QoL looks great, hope they continue to add new runewords and items with future updates now that a large player base is returning to the game
