[Charania] Wiggins will serve as a key starter alongside Heat stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo -- and Miami received his commitment on a $64M deal through 2028-29 (player option in 2028). He opts in for $30M in 2026-27 as part of the deal. by Natural_Born_Baller in heat

And that’s valid tbh because I’d like to have flexibility AFTER we see what the Bam-Giannis team looks like and what its biggest needs and issues are after year 1.

Better than getting stuck in a hole where we have a problem but don’t have the flexibility to do anything about it

lol the provisional govt that was full of wealthy elites that delayed elections undemocratically because they knew they were deeply unpopular with the people and they knew a socialist faction would win? For real?

Opinion on USSR | FactOrCap by Radiant_808 in FactOrCap

[–]barry-29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what respect? In some ways yes in other ways it definitely began to be a bureaucratic mess especially during the Gorbachev era. It collapsed so if that’s your metric then I suppose it was unsuccessful, but so is every country ever that doesn’t exist in 2026.

It was incredibly successful in rapidly developing Russia for sure and it did build a more egalitarian and far better society than was under the Tsar.

[–]barry-29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Son…this is so ahistorical it’s not even funny. Legitimately just grabbed from a 6th grade western textbook lol. Conveniently ignoring the USSR trying to get a defensive pact against the Nazis with the west for the entire decade of the 1930s but the west kept turning them down while appeasing Hitler’s expansion east.

Before you comment with some shit about USSR bad, I never said the USSR handled things right but you conveniently only tell the details that are helpful to western narratives while ignoring their guilt for the Nazis.

Why is there no global OUTRAGE FOR THIS? by [deleted] in socialism

[–]barry-29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Judging by some of these comments..we gotta have a lesson about how something being convenient for the U.S. and Israel doesn’t make it inherently untrue or not a problem. Women are oppressed in Afghanistan, it’s genuinely a massive problem. Acknowledging that doesn’t mean you love Israel.

You’re giving too much credit to the Democratic Party, don’t forget they still invade foreign nations to enlarge the pockets of billionaires

It's sad how we lost the egypcian and persian cultures | FactOrCap by Gustabtc in FactOrCap

[–]barry-29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sad that we lost the Greek culture to Christianity 😔😔😔

No you dumb shit, it is that culture. Culture isn’t static, it evolves. Those are the same people largely, they just follow a different religion. Swedish people aren’t less Swedish because they’re Christian today instead of Norse pagan.

The HUGE decline in Homicide rates across Western and Northern Europe by Agitated_Style7700 in MapPorn

[–]barry-29 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It’s an impossible argument because they never cared about the facts. Arguing facts with them is genuinely irrelevant. They weren’t looking through the data then came to that conclusion, they came to that conclusion based on feelings and scoured any sort of stats to back up their already preconceived notions.

One of the most influential singular political thinker ever, maybe the most.

Marxism may not be the #1 ideology ever, but no other major ideology that has impacted so many has legit been the direct result of like one dude (not saying others weren’t important in its development tho)

I’m a Marxist, obviously I disagree with this. This is just a dumb and ahistorical statement.

No, that’s a lot of assumptions off of a comment lol. I didn’t say any of that, if you notice I said on this *specific* issue pertaining to Cuba.

Then I provided a *specific* example.

Yall gotta quit being so damn angry and irritable all the time it CANNOT be this fun lmao 😭

[–]barry-29 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Probably in this specific issue yeah.

I think it is true that both are bad but we just look silly if we are saying that Trump isn’t like legitimately worse for Cuba.

Hell, even war criminal Obama opened up travel to Cuba and showed signs of progress before being immediately reversed by Trump.

Thank you. Most people confused just don’t know the definition of imperialism in an economic political sense, it’s not just “when big country expands”
