Considering what Russia was like before and after the USSR, and considering that the Nazis threw everything at destroying the USSR and then the US put all it's weight on strangling the USSR.... Communism is actually kind of incredible in a lot of ways. It turned Russia from a shithole into a global super power and then it did the same for China

Yeah, not ragging on communism. I'm actually a huge fan of Marx, including his tidbit about an armed proletariat. But the country was considered "red" at the time.

Also, good on you for defending the system! I only wish you disparaged the leader a little. Cause, conceptually, the USSR would've lasted a whole lot longer if it wasn't for that murderous prick.

Double bed in the corner? Pillows with no covers? You matched with a child.

Oh yeah, and the Nazi pictures. That's bad too.

I wondered if I was the only one who had this take. Mattress on the floor. Must be 18yo. I can cut them some slack cause I had the same at 18yo. And that explains the childlike hero-worship of jackasses (and I really like Steve Jobs as a product guy).

Were I a young woman, I wouldn't consider this person safe to be alone with. Not because of the shitty bed. Because of the psychotic worship of shitty men.

Now I'll be the first one to hate on organ thief Steve Jobs, but I don't think he was a nazi, more of a hippy psycho cult leader.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, Jobs wasn't a Nazi, he was mostly an asshole that stole the surplus value from his employees and also credit for the work his employees did

If Jobs was still alive he probably would have been sitting with the other billionaires at Trump's inauguration.

I was talking about the posters of Nazis. I should've been more clear.

EDIT - To be perfectly clear. There are two pictures of Nazis, and one picture of someone who would have been a Nazi supporter if he didn't prematurely die of hubris.

Bruh you might not wake up

I don't think you'd see as many red flags as this unless you walked into Morocco in the 1800s.

Musk has been a fraud since day 1, I can't believe it took him fully becoming a full oligarch for everyone to hop off his dick.

Can't speak for others but from here it seemed like he was pushing the electric car market forward when the bigs weren't risking it which was a good step forward.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

Electric cars are not the savior we all want them to be anyways. The dudes just a conman. People are right for being shocked he scammed people over and over for years and kept getting more and more success for it. It shouldnt work that way, but apparently americas premier product is the conman given how much money they are worth to others.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Tesla existed before Musk btw. He just came in and put his name on it, and manipulated the stock by having it appraised as a tech stock and not a car one. Oh and just selling "carbon credits" to other car companies so they can keep making polluters. Tesla would be bigger and more advanced without his influence, especially the toxic work culture he enforced.

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 minutes ago

Yeah I know all of that now just trying to show why I was fine with him at first. Before he deserved a second look. It's not like I venerated him or anything. I just had no issues with him until the cave incident.

-Walks into a room with two framed pictures of Nazis-

"Is this a red flag?"

White women will do anything except hold white men accountable. They're content with being numero dos as long as other minorities and women of color remain "at the bottom."
