it also doesn't help with them flying the RUSSIAN COMMUNIST flag as the flag of the democratic socialists

I think Castro is a likely outcome, not a disaster, but not good

@Dusty Morgan Death is free. And the socialist should understand that given the piles of corpses they stack up everytime they get into power.

democratic socialists tend to wave this flag when they march https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31VUn0IP17L._SL500_AC_SS350_.jpg

Why is that flag less offensive than a Swastika? Because 60 million dead is more noble than 8 million?

that include a lot of bernie supporters

240 million dead for communism

Anyway, I've come to realize that a lot of the reason Norway has done so well, except for the oil ofc, is that we've been damn good in designing systems that work. A pragmatic attitude and putting workable solutions above ideology

I don't find either symbol offensive...

@Misomania Yeah, if you include Mao and the rest. I was just referring to the Soviets.

well, you can't count the chinese deaths under mao, that's like comparing protoss to zerg

/edge :p

people aren't people in other countries?

@CasualSailor oh, I wasn't including mao and his killing of 200 million chinese via manafactured famines

is google just straight up blocking some search terms ?

interesting.

@Tinytim They were all murdered for the same idea, identity politics. Remember Mao invented PC.

probably, google hasn't been a good search engine for at least a decade

they block "guns" among other things

which makes it fun to look up MGS4 among other things

obligatory duckduckgo here

@Misomania The numbers are unknown. I usually stick with 60 million because that prevents them from claiming I'm inflating it. But after tens of millions I think the point is made, don't you?

duckduckgo is the real goat

NEWS

who gives a fuck, he's old

@CasualSailor i know.. but turning a blind eye to half a billion dead (if you add it all) is pretty impressive mental gymnastics to me

such important news, it had to be written by two people

it's more like 100-200 million that are reasonable to blame on communism

no, i mean i wanted to see the discourse about something, ended up only with news articles, even when i added reddit to the search bar, so i instead did site:www.reddit.com + "key search words" and this is what returned, even tho i'm 100% certain it's impossible for those words to never have been written in the same thread

Up next, 10 reasons why body shaming is white supremacy

half a billion is stretching it to the same degree that those who claim that capitalism is killing millions are stretching it

ew, reddit...disgusting too

@Misomania I agree. Whether its 60 million or 160 million, it should be a sufficient amount of corpses to convince any reasonable person that Marx's ideas don't need any more "testing."

i've never seen a blank search page

mao starved 200 million alone via manafactured famines, during proxy wars with the US russia caused around 11 million alone to die in korea @Tinytim

don't include the www.

@Ranko Never use google.

if i remove one of the terms it works
