It was ugly classist bigotry and was widely applauded. Class warfare. I can't believe people still defend the criminal and warmonger Hillary Clinton, but here we are.
So we are so utterly stupid that we are able to create amazing things? You're arguing against yourself...and losing. Maybe take a break from posting for a while. You're not in a happy place.
Those are the Obama cages. Plus, who can vote for the party of race hate and divisive identity politics? They couldn't even pass a resolution condemning anti semitism because it's so legitimately popular among their crowd.
Let us consider some of the consequences of Yeltsin's electoral win:
-In the first years of the Chubais-Yeltsin privatization scheme, the life expectancy of a Russian male fell from 65 years to 57.5 years. Female life expectancy in Russia dropped from 74.5 years in 1989 to 72.8 years in 1999.
-Throughout Yeltsin's terms as President, flight of capital away from Russia totaled between $1 and $2 billion every month.
-Each year from 1989 to 2001 there was a fall of approximately 8% in Russia's productive assets.
-From 1990 to 1999 the percentage increase of people living on less than $1 a day was greater in Russia and the other former socialist countries than anywhere else in the world.
-The number of people living in poverty in the former Soviet Republics rose from 14 million in 1989 to 147 million in 1998. As a result of the 1998 financial collapse and the devaluation of the ruble, the life savings of tens of millons of Russian families disappeared overnight. Since then, the Great Recession and low oil pries have only made matters worse.
-In the period from 1992 to 1998 Russia's GDP fell by half-something that did not happen even under during the German invasion in the Second World War.
Under Yeltsin's tenure, the death rate in Russia reached wartime levels. Accidents, food poisoning, exposure, heart attacks, lack of access to basic healthcare, and an epidemic of suicidesâ"they all played a role. David Satter, a senior fellow at the anti-communist, Washington DC-based Hudson Institute, writing in the conservative Wall Street Journal, described the consequences of this victory of Democracy: "Western and Russian demographers now agree that between 1992 and 2000, the number of 'surplus deaths' in Russia-deaths that cannot be explained on the basis of previous trends-was between five and six million persons."
Yeah, right. As if the FBI gives a crap what the elected government thinks. They went rogue quite some years ago and pursue their own interests at the expense of us all. There are still some parts that go after kidnappers or mafia or whatever, but the top leadership is rotten to the core. They don't take orders, they give them.
"Don't let impartial algorithms with no preconceptions come to conclusions we don't like. Instead, massage them until they agree with what we've already decided coincides with our pre-existing political biases."
When socialists stand upon a mountain of skulls and try to convince us that they won't make those mistakes again...it's not convincing. The scary part is that instead of making better arguments or demonstrating that socialism works by implementing it in their private lives...they conclude the problem is allowing us to voice disagreement.
Surely we are at peak "calling everyone fascist" by now. Show of hands, who here has never been called a fascist? Socialists called George Orwell a fascist...while he was himself a socialist. While he was fighting literal fascists in Spain.
Wow. We are nice. There's a howler. The Big Lie, say something outrageous. Silicon Valley, the home of intolerance, is telling us deplorables that it's nice and will care for us? Show of hands, who believes this?
The biggest objection to UBI is that it makes people dependent on their government for a living. It exploits a well known bug in democracy by giving people an incentive to vote for the party that promises free money from the public treasury. Down this path lies tyranny.
Sadly, far too many educated people who should know better call Sweden "socialist". It's the same story as Venezuela, they're desperate to attach the socialist label to something successful. Despite a century of failure and socialism killing people everywhere it's been tried.
There's no mention of the real story here. One we know, through direct empirical evidence, is more important than humanity landing on an asteroid or a comet. The real question here is: What kind of shirt was the spokesman wearing when he made the announcement?
Hackers don't force the rest of us to listen to shitty music. He has less in common with independent hackers and much more in common with misogynist Hollywood.
It's funny how Venezuela was the shining socialist success story - right up until the point where they ran out of other people's money. Jeremy Corbyn, Bernie Sanders, Sean Penn, a galaxy of hard left luminaries visited Venezuela and endorsed the socialist system. It was the way forward, you see. 21st century socialism. Now that it turned out like all other times socialism has been tried, suddenly Venezuela isn't socialist and never was. Despite voluminous evidence to the contrary. We have always been allied with Eastasia, we have always been at war with Eurasia.
The left is indeed in favor of free speech...when it is their own. When dissenting voices want to speak, suddenly free speech is a tool only racists use. It's basic tribalism.
It's telling that you consider ideological diversity "hate". The far left like yourself has always been against any speech they don't control. Why should today be any different?
The only news here is that a mob of witch-hunters found witches. What do you know, they're everywhere once you know how to search for them. They hide in the tiniest spaces, but good witch-hunters can always find them.

US support of a very unpopular Yeltsin and his neo liberal "shock therapy" ideas that left Russia even worse off economically.

If there were anything incriminating in it, it would have leaked immediately.
It wasn't Trump who called us deplorable. It was the Democrats who hate the working class and hate white people.

Nice racist dog whistle. I see what you did there.

They're not socialism. Socialism is government control of the means of production. You're talking about market economies.

He had his fricken honeymoon in Moscow during the height of the Cold War? When Russia was 1000x the threat it is today?
What would we say to any modern politician who took his honeymoon in Russia? It would firmly place him outside the mainstream as an extremist.
Why don't you build your own website and you can use all the metric system you want?

This is pure whataboutism. It in no way addresses or refutes the topic. Try again.
