Don’t give me a data dump, make your actual argument

2020-01-29 18:29:39 UTC  

Oh

2020-01-29 18:29:47 UTC  

Yeah while I’m sure TheFinnishBolshevik from mltheory.com is just the HEIGHT of credibility

2020-01-29 18:29:53 UTC  

Make your actual case for what you think happened

2020-01-29 18:29:57 UTC  

And then support it with data

2020-01-29 18:30:12 UTC  

Alright then here we go

2020-01-29 18:31:02 UTC  

First let's talk about Ukraine before the 30's

2020-01-29 18:31:05 UTC  

Or in fact

2020-01-29 18:31:21 UTC  

The Russian empire in general

2020-01-29 18:31:45 UTC  

Famine was a common thing. It happened every 5-7 years

2020-01-29 18:32:02 UTC  

Stats

2020-01-29 18:32:52 UTC  

Jeez I'm gonna have to bring something for every arguement I make.
Alright hold up so I could find it in my library

2020-01-29 18:33:06 UTC  

Yeah, you need to make your case

2020-01-29 18:33:34 UTC  

I’ve never seen any stats for tsarist agricultural yield, if you’re basing an argument on that then I want to see some data

2020-01-29 18:33:45 UTC  

Otherwise maybe you’re right maybe you’re not

2020-01-29 18:34:04 UTC  

I’ll certainly agree it was not technologically advanced, and I’m sure it suffered famine occasionally

2020-01-29 18:37:14 UTC  

What is this debate about?

2020-01-29 18:37:38 UTC  

Basically what happened in rural Ukraine under Stalinist rule

2020-01-29 18:38:15 UTC  

And whether there was a concerted effort by Stalin to kill off the rural population, or if it was a famine relief program

2020-01-29 18:38:26 UTC  

Mostly starvation

2020-01-29 18:39:03 UTC  

Why would Stalin want to kill off the rural population, he needs them for agriculture

2020-01-29 18:39:04 UTC  

I had a professor who said about it: “Stalin needed to urbanize quickly, and the best way to make people move to the cities is to make it impossible to live in the country”

2020-01-29 18:39:10 UTC  

Urbanization

2020-01-29 18:41:30 UTC  

@Deleted User Well sorry that I have to look through dozens of documents to find that one specific thing you want from me but this isn't exactly a planned debate. If you want me to debate about it like you do then I can just say "read [insert book name]" like you do and leave it at that but I know that doesn't get us anywhere with the debate

2020-01-29 18:41:39 UTC  

So do you want to debate or...

2020-01-29 18:42:08 UTC  

Do you want to engage in your identity politics?

2020-01-29 18:42:16 UTC  

@Boo I didn’t ask you to comment on famine rates in tsarist Russia, you did that

2020-01-29 18:42:35 UTC  

And yet you asked for the stats

2020-01-29 18:42:36 UTC  

If it’s crucial to your point, then you need to prove it. If it’s not, then just move on without it

2020-01-29 18:42:44 UTC  

Which I said I'll give it

2020-01-29 18:42:55 UTC  

A bit of patience please while I find it

2020-01-29 18:42:58 UTC  

Yeah, you made a claim that I have not heard so I asked for your source

2020-01-29 18:43:00 UTC  

Uh ok

2020-01-29 18:43:07 UTC  

Thank you

2020-01-29 18:43:21 UTC  

I have a whole library to go through so it might take awhile

2020-01-29 18:43:48 UTC  

Like honestly not trying to be a dick here

2020-01-29 18:43:56 UTC  

If you want we can move forward assuming that’s true

2020-01-29 18:52:31 UTC  

I’m leaving, tag me when u respond plz

2020-01-29 18:52:33 UTC  

Thnx!
