Disagree. Also pointing out it came from lemmy.ml - it's getting tiring.

It's also very appropriate for the meme given it speaks to the red scare propaganda peddled in the US.

I'm sorry you're tired, but a lot of newer users aren't aware.

I don't think it's appropriate anywhere, aside from historical contexts. Especially next to "positive" things that have little to no relation to it.

Sorry I didn't see you're an anti-communist. Your view makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the honesty!

Mainly, anti-USSR and USSR-adjacent.

You're very welcome!

the symbol has nothing to do with anything on the list

Meanwhile USSR:

"Expresses concern for the poor" lowers inequality to the lowest levels in the region

"Expresses concern for the treatment of marginalized groups" women suffrage since 1917, massive literacy campaigns regardless of ethnicity or gender

"Expresses concern over the rise of fascism" defeats Nazism in Europe saving tens of millions of lives

"Takes an interest in history and philosophy" makes education free to the highest level for everyone, including maintenance wages to university students, and promotes education among adult workers with night programs and in-factory volunteers and after-work programs

"Wishes for a world where all are treated equally" collaborates with the decolonization of Africa, South America and Asia without engaging in colonialism

Oh wow, even a graph? Amazing. Lmao.

Thanks, you're tagged.

Not sure what you mean by tagged, but you're welcome for the graph.

I add a note that appears next to your name to not engage. Don't need westerners who think that "EU bad, USSR good" to tell me how it was to live in the USSR. Because they didn't, and I did.

Now off you f...

You lived in the USSR? Damn, how old are you?

[–] falseWhite@programming.dev 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Anyone 35+ years or older could have been born in the USSR. So any 55 year old would have lived for at least 20 years in the USSR.

Do you have problems with math? Or did Putin not give you better scripts?

I'm about "fuck off" years old.
