Greetings, and agreed on all points.
I told you recently that the understanding of socialism in the West—and my own understanding of it—are two different poles.
That guy is very smart and well-read, but what he says... really surprises me.
When I read his first post, I didn't even understand which camp he belonged to... because a person cannot defend oligarchs while being a socialist. To me, that is nonsense!
What you'll find is that understanding of socialism in the west is largely shaped by the CIA, meaning that there is no actual understanding.
To be honest, I read through a massive amount of text there—it’s all so impeccably written, yet the essence of it keeps slipping through my fingers... It reminds me a lot of an LSD trip... ))) "The truth is out there"—just like in The X-Files... )))
Mind you, I don't mean to offend anyone; I am, after all, just an ignoramus... complete with a beard, felt boots, and a balalaika... reeking of stale vodka.
Please, don't judge me too harshly! )))
I'm talking about that guy up above who got offended and doesn't want to reply.
oh you can check the modlog, lemmy is pretty transparent about it unlike reddit https://lemmy.ml/modlog/14681?page=1&actionType=All&userId=23129142
Thanks, Comrade—I'll check it out!
Once I get a little more settled in here and get to know the locals better, we can pick up our fascinating conversation... )))
indeed, you'll also notice that https://lemmy.ml/c/ukraine has very different vibe from reddit here
Yes, I'll take a look.
Yes, I read it—Rule Number Two: Show respect, especially when you’re in the wrong.
To be honest, I didn't see anything particularly outrageous in there. I’ve been called a Nazi on Reddit... and they didn't bat an eye.
And this is actually the first time that my opponent got removed rather than me; I’m extremely surprised.
By the way, I recently stumbled across a YouTube video—check it out. It features Yusupov—the guy who killed Rasputin. I had no idea he’d acted in films.

a very different culture here from reddit, and didn't know that either about Yusupov
