  • I'm neither proud nor ashamed of being a Russian, personally, given it's a simple fact. Although, I also have a hard time understanding feeling pride (or shame) for something I wasn't a part of (as in, a member of a team of researchers who discovered XYZ, not some arbitrary stuff like nationalities)

  • I've asked a couple of history nerds, and I stand corrected: my impression that totalitarianism was a form of autocracy was wrong (rather both are a form of dictatorship). They've mentioned that under Stalin it could've been considered one, tho, but given he was the 2nd gensec, it's not exactly relevant to undissolving.

  • Sure it wasn't. And, say, attempts to limit citizens' freedoms of [speeh, movement, religion (although I personally think it's cancer)] or even music they listen to are just a coincidence. Look, I'm not saying USSR was all bad, but, frankly speaking, trying to depict it as some kind of heaven on earth is just as flawed as the red scare you've mentioned.

  • Fair enough; although, I meant more of a communism on a world scale, with rewiring the brains of those selfish bastards that actively oppose it for their benefit, and all that jazz. So, pretty much the thing a genie's help (or something equally unbelievable) is necessary atm.

  • So, let me clarify, you could've wished for a proper communism without state and such bullshit, but wished for an autocracy with ambitions of world domination to be undissolved? Great job here, mate!

  • Idk, repairing is often fun and may be faster actually. As in you don't need to spend time searching for a suitable product and waiting for it to be delivered. Also, most breaks are more or less trivial to fix, so it's at least worth a try, imo.

  • I don't dislike most of them per se, I just don't understand most of them. I mean, it's quite impressive what those people can achieve, but I'd rather watch some dude free-climbing in the grand canion or something of that nature ('cause for me even climbing a 20m pipe was scary asf).

    Now that i think of it, football is probably singled out in my mind due to its fans doing some batshit crazy stuff oftentimes. Like dude, chill out, it's just a bunch of people kicking a ball. Save your molotov for your friendly local politicians.

  • What's fun about football, tho? I mean, it's basically a bunch of dudes hitting a sphere for some weird reason or fighting for the pleasure of carrying an egg (and making more money than the most of us while at it)
