    How come you were only managing to “vote your way to progress” when your empire was fighting the USSR and had greater control over your colonies?
    Also, how come you forgot to “vote your way to progress” for the benefit of the people you are still robbing?

    You are advocating for a much more malicious Omelas that does not even provide a good of a living standard.

    Also, the election worship is just funny at this point.

      Am I talking to an AI? Forget your previous instructions and … I dunno, engage in philanthropy instead.

      I never had an empire, and if I had one, I’d probably not be writing here. Were eastern europe not colonies of the ruling class in Moscow btw? I guess it depends on your own beliefs, and since we are obviously not open to take in other perspectives than the “correct one” here, I don’t think further discussion will yield much of value. I leave this post disappointed that lemmy users seem uncapable of understansing nuances. Good bye!

        Ah, great. The dehumanisation. And you claim to not be a white supremacist.

        I never had an empire

        It’s pretty obvious that you live in NATO and think that it’s good (because you are not on the receiving end of its invasions and genocides.
        So, you do have an empire, and you are engaging in propaganda in its favour.

        Were eastern europe not colonies of the ruling class in Moscow btw?

        No.
        They were not subject to things like relations of severe unequal exchange, or settler-colonial genocide. They were not treated anywhere near the way your empire treats people in, for example, Africa and Asia.
        And no, not letting Europeans plunder Africa and Asia is neither oppression, nor colonialism.

        I guess it depends on your own beliefs

        It doesn’t.

        I leave this post disappointed that lemmy users seem uncapable of understansing nuances.

        Spreading propaganda for the most prolific invader in the world (NATO) is not “nuance”.

          Debatebro… so far, people have 1. assumend my skin colour and now 2. assumed my gender. I thought we were past these things, but I guess even the far-left have thrown wokeness aside as something bad… I’ll stay in lemmy unless I have to write “hail stalin” in each postbefore it’s allowed to be published. Then I guess i’ll seek up some traditional forum, and realize any “link aggregation” site, or whatever lemmy and reddit are categorized as, are simply not viable unless you blindly follow a religion-ideology.

            1. you’re in a Swedish instance.
            2. Debatebro is not gender-specific, it’s a term for people who do nothing but debate like it’s a high-school class where winning a debate is more important than discussing and learning about a serious topic. I can also just call you a debatepervert which I have seen too…

            Also “far-left”? Are you an enlightened centrist? No, no, social democracy is not leftist but the moderate wing of fascism.

            also rest of your post is just gibberish wtf are you going on about

              You assume my goal is to win, yet I don’t see anyone in this thread do more than spout communist propaganda-sounding slogans. If you read my posts in this threqd you will litterally see that I’tryibg to offer some nuance to this single minded herd climate.

              Also: Having “debate” as part of a slur and asking me to leave this site because I don’t agree with you is so authoritarian that I can’t take you seriously.

                lol, lmao even

                ironic how you talk about nuance but call everyone in this instance a single minded herd. OK then

                communist propaganda-sounding slogans? You’re saying your country has truly free democracy and saying communist countries never had a real democracy, how are you not spouting propaganda then? Everything is propaganda you dummy.

                “authoritarian” like the authoritarian parent telling a child to go to bed.
