The great depression has never starved millions of Ukrainians to death.

You gave me a singular anecdote from a state that didn’t exist for even three years.

If someone gives you an example of a communist country and then you go “no no that’s not communism” when in fact yes, it was communism, because otherwise as you yourself said “no country in the last 2000 years was communist” then that’s the true scotsman.

Cool. Yet you are ignoring the very tiny fact that collective farms started famines. They didn’t “just underperform”.

And yet people work in huge corporations and those are succeeding fine. Yet the collective farms that I mention led to famines and underperformed severely.

“I don’t believe your country was under communism, that’s not real communism” is EXACTLY the scotsman fallacy. But by all means, go for a lengthy post that says nothing.

It is Polish. No idea why the dude even went there, it is a Polish bakery with wasps on the food. Not uncommon to see over there with some places that are outside or keep doors open.

The text on the pastry is literally Polish. It is a pastry in a Polish bakery. You don’t need to be outraged on behalf of someone else.

No true scotsman fallacy. I could say that no country was under ideal capitalism so you can’t criticize it either. You have to look at reality, not make believe nations that never existed.

And yet over here it is exactly what happened. So we have 3 years during a civil war, and 60 years of a failed state.

Yeah, people didn’t. They didn’t give a shit about the “collective” farms. They worked because they were forced to and fucked it up for everyone because there was no difference between giving it your all and slacking off. Hundreds of microfarms worked better than one large collective one because they didn’t think it was “ours” they thought it was “nobodys”.

I mean, if you get winters that go to -20, you still have to heat it up during it. But most it goes down is like 15 degree C? Not comfortable, but you probably won’t freeze unless you don’t heat at all

The pipes go into the wall, older houses have them running outside the wall, right next to it, especially for stuff like radiator pipes. Wiring goes into the wall and gets plaster put over it. Saw a false ceiling in bathrooms too, since that had a lot of little lights so they probably ran it that way to keep it simpler. A lot of buildings just aren’t insulated, especially older ones, walls do an okayish job already. But newer buildings have styrofoam on the outside of the building. Makes em pretty much have the exact same temp year round, unless you open a window.

I always laugh to myself when people think French is hard. Try learning Polish and you’ll hate yourself

100% because it is a fire wall or regulations ask for it.

Wdym the comic says the wife is 100% up for it and garfield is the one with the headache

None. But plenty of communist monuments that were forced on us that we tore down the second Russia effed off back to home.

Communism is a disease and the Soviet Union was an imperialist country continuing on with Russia.

Not in Eastern Europe. People hate the communists here. They have ruined their countries, basically occupied them.

People in Poland knew. That’s what I’m certain of. I know because my grandparents mentioned it and they were “average people”, far away from the camps.

Bullshit. People knew, they aren’t dumb. The polish underground reported on them regularly and even had operatives inside them. People living around them knew they were death camps. You cannot commit such slaughter and somehow magically hide it.
