The finders keepers rule of colonizers. We stole it, but you wanting it returned is stealing it too! /s

It's not up to you or me, or the israeli colonizers as to what happens to Palestine. That should be decided by the palestinian people themselves.

You seem to not be aware that Israel is another settler-colonial project, based on indigenous eviction and genocide, just like the US, Canada, Australia, etc.

I suggest watching these two vids :

Settler colonialism a form of imperialism (theft of land, labor and natural resources of a weaker country by a stronger one), where the stronger country sets up a military garrison, and evicts or enslaves the local population. This is border conflict to halt the ever-eastward march of NATO.

The accusations of "russifying the ukrainian language" is pure projection; its the banderites who (with NATO help, Obama bragged about this one) couped Ukraine in 2014 (and who were killing thousands of civilians in the donbass) that have been attempting to make spoken russian illegal in the country. They've also been reviving nazi collaborators and building monuments to them as fast as they can.

It was the Bolsheviks (Stalin especially) who strongly supported the creation of a Ukrainian state, as it had a distinct national, lingual, and cultural character, while the western nations were opposed to Ukrainian sovereignty (The fascist dictatorhips of the 30s were essentially at war with all slavic peoples). Modern Russia wants to preserve Ukraine as a buffer state (as it was before 2014). There are many ppl more knowledgeable on lemmygrad and hexbear, that could give you a long background on this conflict.

Modern imperialism (usually) takes a different form from classical colonialism, but even with that definition, Russia can't be called imperialist as it fits none of the traits.

I can't find it, but there's a cool infographic / image that has all of them. I could only find one for the hammer and sickle variations:

Every time I go to a bidet-less house, and see that they're going as unwashed as a 5th century peasant

I've found this to be pretty useful when needing to do recursive / multi-file search and replace. Also has bindings to work within terminal text editors like vim and helix.

Uses rust and ripgrep under the hood for speed.

You're not going to find many books to the effect of, "see how hegemonic we aren't", so you mainly need to look at how the ussr treated republics within it, and especially preserved national minorities.

The USSR academy of sciences published works in many languages, same for the state publishing houses.

There are also some longer works on the languages of the USSR, because there was such a diversity of them and the constitution mandated their protection, but I haven't read them.

Compare with the US (wiped out every indigenous language), or the UK (tried to do the same for Irish and Welsh). It's always projection with these anticommunist westerner historians.

You can see the diversity here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_Soviet_Union

You trust an anti-communist british ambassador at their word?

We do have a this is a bot account user setting, and it's possible to block bot accounts so you never see them.

But a profanity bot seems pretty useless to me.

Thanks to everyone

We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.

Support development

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over five years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers.
