2018-04-22 12:07:36 UTC

pink and blue is like a whole thing on its own. its a very eyecatching combo

I keep seeing this guys videos when i look for old war crap

2018-04-22 12:13:30 UTC

theres nothing wrong with reading from a prompter

reading a wikipedia article is more informative and entertaining

2018-04-22 12:14:42 UTC

yeah but watching a vid is easier than opening 40 tabs, even if the info is much less dense

I'll celebrate by buying, and eating lots of food. Something that countless victims of the ideology that he helped spread, never got to enjoy.

please, deny it

2018-04-22 14:10:52 UTC

your argument is just "great leap forward"

2018-04-22 14:10:58 UTC

is that really it

2018-04-22 14:11:12 UTC

who said it was an argument

2018-04-22 14:11:23 UTC

why are you bringing it up if it's not an argument

2018-04-22 14:11:33 UTC

Why do you think?

2018-04-22 14:12:30 UTC

you're probably bringing it up because you think pointing out an example of a famine that happened under socialism is a god way of countering the idea that food security was, in general, higher in socialist countries than in capitalist ones

2018-04-22 14:12:31 UTC

The TvTropes article for "translation with an agenda"

2018-04-22 14:12:34 UTC

Tell me how you will deny that it was socialist.

2018-04-22 14:12:37 UTC

the reason why you think that is because you are a moron

2018-04-22 14:12:44 UTC

Howdy folks!

Yeah, I'm the moron, yet you're the one redefining socialism so your delusional ideology can avoid the blame of the millions of death it has on its conscience. <:LUL:372856126007410689>

2018-04-22 14:14:19 UTC

why are you pretending that is all i said meratrix

2018-04-22 14:14:33 UTC

Are you denying it was caused by socialist collectivization?

2018-04-22 14:14:41 UTC

^^

2018-04-22 14:14:41 UTC

Because that seems to be what you're doing.

2018-04-22 14:14:51 UTC

I havn't read any of it yet and I have no idea what they define by "socialist" but judging by this -

2018-04-22 14:14:53 UTC

it's stupid because just pointing out a single example is not as useful of a metric as comparing aggregated data, furthermore i could do the same and point out specific famines that occured under capitalism

2018-04-22 14:14:54 UTC

Deny it, please. I needed a laugh.

2018-04-22 14:15:04 UTC

capitalism does seem better

2018-04-22 14:15:21 UTC

High come countries are only capitalist

2018-04-22 14:15:41 UTC

weird, almost like poor countries are more likely to become socialist or something ๐Ÿค”

2018-04-22 14:16:08 UTC

o, itโ€™s actually because socialism makes countries poorer

2018-04-22 14:16:21 UTC

no it doesn't

2018-04-22 14:16:25 UTC

No, it's almost like socialist countries are more likely to become poor

2018-04-22 14:16:47 UTC

why did eastern bloc countries grow faster than comparable capitalist countries

2018-04-22 14:16:59 UTC

on average

2018-04-22 14:17:08 UTC

How can you possibly look at this table and come to the conclusion that socialism is better?

2018-04-22 14:17:18 UTC

I actually just popped in to ask a really dumb question, but yeah... socialism seems to never help the poor, the working poor or the working class.

2018-04-22 14:17:24 UTC

it usually does

2018-04-22 14:17:34 UTC

how so?

2018-04-22 14:17:34 UTC

Russia asked the US to come over and analyze what went wrong with their economy after the USSR fell, and it was found that they were operating something like at half the economic strength.

2018-04-22 14:17:40 UTC

Eastern block countries grow faster because they have more room to grow

2018-04-22 14:17:44 UTC

source mera

2018-04-22 14:17:56 UTC

And you can hardly consider them to be socialism anyway

2018-04-22 14:17:56 UTC

i've heard sargon say that shit multiple times and he has never provided a source

2018-04-22 14:18:04 UTC

baraban that makes no sense

2018-04-22 14:18:14 UTC

That makes perfect sense

2018-04-22 14:18:17 UTC

why would they have more room to grow compared to countries that had the same gdp per capita on average

2018-04-22 14:18:43 UTC

History and countries are a pretty good source... go sell socialism to Venezauila.

2018-04-22 14:18:50 UTC

venezuela isn't socialist

2018-04-22 14:19:03 UTC

Because they aren't as advence, but they are catching up

2018-04-22 14:19:10 UTC

what's your dumb question

2018-04-22 14:19:13 UTC

how are they not as advanced baraban

2018-04-22 14:19:20 UTC

where's your source that the eastern bloc was more prosperous than western europe?

2018-04-22 14:19:37 UTC

๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

2018-04-22 14:19:41 UTC

i'm talking about comparing eastern bloc countries to a selection of capitalist countries that fell within the eastern bloc's gdp per capita range in 1950

2018-04-22 14:20:05 UTC

They are obviously less advanced

2018-04-22 14:20:17 UTC

And the gap was bigger

2018-04-22 14:20:40 UTC

they weren't less advanced they were the same

2018-04-22 14:20:44 UTC

but eastern bloc countries grew faster

2018-04-22 14:20:47 UTC

I"ve walked in a bit late, what exactly are you refering to? I Just wanted to ask a dumb question.

2018-04-22 14:20:48 UTC

No they weren't

2018-04-22 14:21:01 UTC

notice all the stuff in that document that got better as the soviet union reformed and edged closer and closer to capitalism.

2018-04-22 14:21:01 UTC

whats your dumb question tho

2018-04-22 14:21:02 UTC

So ask @Kalisme

2018-04-22 14:21:10 UTC

commies are boring

2018-04-22 14:21:21 UTC

ive seen them have this talk like 3 times already

2018-04-22 14:21:31 UTC

If they grew faster and they were always as advanced why aren't they better by now?

they did become better baraban

2018-04-22 14:21:56 UTC

No

2018-04-22 14:21:59 UTC

0_o

2018-04-22 14:22:07 UTC

They obviously didn't

2018-04-22 14:22:18 UTC

i mean the data directly contradicts you

2018-04-22 14:22:26 UTC

What data?

2018-04-22 14:22:35 UTC

they overtook those countries in terms of gdp per capita and had disproportionately high standards of living for their level of development

2018-04-22 14:22:48 UTC

China isn't a rich country by any stretch of the imagination

2018-04-22 14:22:57 UTC

It's also really oppressed

2018-04-22 14:22:57 UTC

@Deleted User Can you VC

2018-04-22 14:23:23 UTC

Yea

2018-04-22 14:24:33 UTC

Jeebus... things seem so serious right now... I just found out a long lasting Aussie radio station allows Australian bands to host a band page and songs for some sort of competition... I'm Australian and I wanted tips for a non-offensive (but theoretically offensive)-band name for a band that doesn't exist.

2018-04-22 14:24:41 UTC

menatrix which part of that document backs up your claim

2018-04-22 14:24:42 UTC

it's huge

2018-04-22 14:25:35 UTC

See? Less serious.

2018-04-22 14:26:17 UTC

bottom of this section on page 6

2018-04-22 14:27:49 UTC

are you referring to the soviet gnp per worker being 38% of that of the us

2018-04-22 14:29:21 UTC

The soviet union was unable to take utilize itโ€™s natural advantages.

2018-04-22 14:29:38 UTC

is that what you're referring to or not

2018-04-22 14:30:21 UTC

I do not believe that is what this document refers to.

2018-04-22 14:30:31 UTC

How about you read it.

2018-04-22 14:30:58 UTC

i just wanna know if that's the data point you were referencing

2018-04-22 14:31:05 UTC

What are people actually actually conversing about?

2018-04-22 14:32:01 UTC

I referring to this whole document.

2018-04-22 14:32:20 UTC

not exactly sure. I think they're trying to make the claim that the eastern bloc was economically succesful

2018-04-22 14:32:23 UTC

?

2018-04-22 14:32:52 UTC

I actually don't know about that specific thing at all...

2018-04-22 14:33:02 UTC

mera when you say "Russia asked the US to come over and analyze what went wrong with their economy after the USSR fell, and it was found that they were operating something like at half the economic strength." surely there is a specific part of the document that backs up that claim

2018-04-22 14:33:24 UTC

i said that eastern bloc countries grew faster than capitalist countries on average

2018-04-22 14:33:56 UTC

Is it an arguement of growth?

2018-04-22 14:34:03 UTC

according to what crude propaganda?

2018-04-22 14:34:04 UTC

I was couldnโ€™t remember what exactly number were, so I said that to bring attention to it assuming you would ask for the source, which I provided.

2018-04-22 14:34:28 UTC

if they grew faster, they would have overtaken capitalist countries. They didn't.

2018-04-22 14:34:53 UTC

Such a worldview should have shattered long ago, why are you clinging to it?

2018-04-22 14:35:55 UTC

plenty of "experts" were not even the slightest bit critical of data coming out of the USSR. It's like they never knew propaganda was an actual thing.

2018-04-22 14:35:59 UTC

I'm pretty pro-capitalist in a lot of ways, but the speed of growth if a stupid argument :/ I don't get what you are arguing about.

2018-04-22 14:36:13 UTC

and people regurgitate the same tired nonsense to this day

2018-04-22 14:36:40 UTC

if anyone points out a flaw in their logic, they bury you in old propaganda and gish-gallop away

2018-04-22 14:36:56 UTC

no wonder people grow tired of talking to someone like that

2018-04-22 14:38:08 UTC

they are the ones who brought economic growth up

2018-04-22 14:38:14 UTC

when you point out the horrors that stupid socialist policies lead to, the millions of deaths, it's whataboutism instantly to preserve the delusion.

2018-04-22 14:38:32 UTC

muh millions of deaths

2018-04-22 14:38:51 UTC

socialism is religious faith

2018-04-22 14:38:57 UTC

and you're a fanatic

2018-04-22 14:39:01 UTC

Vers how is that funny?

2018-04-22 14:39:07 UTC

why do these deaths constitute an indictment of socialism yet the far higher death toll of capitalism does not

2018-04-22 14:39:11 UTC

it's funny cuz that wasn't real socialism duh

2018-04-22 14:39:16 UTC

2018-04-22 14:40:08 UTC

you're such a great person

2018-04-22 14:40:14 UTC

we should all strive to be like you

2018-04-22 14:40:15 UTC

yes why does that count as an indictment of socialism

2018-04-22 14:40:20 UTC

when the death toll of capitalism is far higher

2018-04-22 14:40:23 UTC

2018-04-22 14:41:26 UTC

they paint themselves as horrid people, I just need to poke them in the right place

2018-04-22 14:41:32 UTC

I actually don't like socialism that much, but it has some okay ideas (in small doses)... Marxism? Erg... Socialism is still shite, but refined it. But I think reading through different political ideas can be befinifical.

2018-04-22 14:41:40 UTC

no point in trying to convince them

2018-04-22 14:42:06 UTC

i mean it's funny you're saying it's like a religious faith when i am the one making arguments based off of empirical data

2018-04-22 14:42:08 UTC

it's like dealing with religious people. If any kind of argument worked, it wouldn't exist.

2018-04-22 14:42:18 UTC

and you're spouting memes about "not real socialism xD"

2018-04-22 14:42:29 UTC

you're regurgitating propaganda without the slightest bit of source criticism

2018-04-22 14:42:30 UTC

What empirical data? I came in too lare.

2018-04-22 14:42:36 UTC

what propaganda

2018-04-22 14:42:45 UTC

is the maddison project propaganda

2018-04-22 14:43:02 UTC

there's no use in trying to point that out to you, as you're not critical of sources that agree with you

2018-04-22 14:43:08 UTC

woke af

2018-04-22 14:43:08 UTC

are these economic historians just secret like soviet propaganda agents or something

2018-04-22 14:43:15 UTC

What are you talking about? I came in late.

2018-04-22 14:43:28 UTC

a lot of them were utterly uncritical of USSR data

you're one of them, apparently

2018-04-22 14:44:18 UTC

yeah that data comes from the world bank development report

2018-04-22 14:44:27 UTC

the world bank being a notorious communist propaganda outlet of course

2018-04-22 14:44:38 UTC

Is this what the general chat is usually like?

2018-04-22 14:44:46 UTC
2018-04-22 14:44:55 UTC

actually, they bought a lot of propaganda entirely without criticism, but you wouldn't know that because it agrees with you so you just eat it up

2018-04-22 14:45:03 UTC

communism is only debated once someone says communism is good

2018-04-22 14:45:05 UTC

you've not looked into this at all

2018-04-22 14:45:14 UTC

and then it gets boring for like an hour

2018-04-22 14:45:15 UTC

because it might put a chink in your reality denying armor

2018-04-22 14:45:25 UTC

provide proof please

2018-04-22 14:45:31 UTC

@Deleted User Thankyou, I may be a return customer.

2018-04-22 14:45:32 UTC

that they are uncritically spreading communist propaganda

2018-04-22 14:45:43 UTC

this is such a pathetic argument

2018-04-22 14:45:52 UTC

from a braindead liberal ideologue

2018-04-22 14:45:53 UTC

how about you go look it up yourself? Be critical of your own sources before you share them as gospel

2018-04-22 14:46:14 UTC

you're such a nice person

2018-04-22 14:46:18 UTC

we should all be like you

2018-04-22 14:46:21 UTC

o.o

2018-04-22 14:46:23 UTC

I hate it when you ask a simple question and people say "look it up".

2018-04-22 14:46:55 UTC

why--if its a simple question it should take 5 seconds on google

2018-04-22 14:47:07 UTC

exactly.

2018-04-22 14:47:20 UTC

why would i be nice when you were being a dick first

2018-04-22 14:47:31 UTC

oh you poor thing

2018-04-22 14:47:39 UTC

2018-04-22 14:47:44 UTC

I can't help being a dick! ๐Ÿ˜ข I was born this way! YOU MONSTER!

2018-04-22 14:47:49 UTC

we need a gulag tag for the communists ๐Ÿฆ‰

2018-04-22 14:47:57 UTC

why are you making snarky comments about how mean i am

2018-04-22 14:47:59 UTC

I should think you would be used to that, being a communist actively seeking out arguments

2018-04-22 14:48:00 UTC

2018-04-22 14:48:16 UTC

2018-04-22 14:48:21 UTC

why do you think?

2018-04-22 14:48:36 UTC

I actually don't know you, I presume you're lovely, I just don't know what you're trying to inform about.
