Venezuela is being color revoluitioned again. Fucking christ.

My great grandfather was a literal feudal serf… 70 years ago… It’s gonna take time on that sadly. I think this current generation is the first to be truly “modern” (whatever that means.)

The generation the grew up and became adults during the 2008-9 have strange opinions on money, odd.

The slope wasn’t even slippery, it was just a fucking cliff, went from nazis are evil and bad to, a lot of them weren’t actually Nazis, and with the fucking rainbow flag to boot. The nazis exterminated gay people you dumb fuck, nazis from the Galicia region murdered poles and Jewish folk and other “undesirables”. I just dont get how dumb this stupid fucks can get.

The moon landing is funny, so many of my family members under 30 in China believe it was fake, not because they think we can’t or couldn’t but more because the US lies about everything so it makes sense they’d lie about the moon landing.

“putler” anyone else get seriously and unnecessarily angry when people do shit like that? God it grinds my gears.

You also have to consider that the USSR and China being linked heavily could have driven China down with the Soviet Union, because of the split, China was able to withstand the collapse, come out stronger on the other side and move into a position much greater than that of the Soviets. Without knowing exactly the internal thoughts of the leadership of the CPC it is difficult to know what they were thinking, but perhaps they saw the the dramatic shifts coming from the govt after Stalin’s death, and they were not feeling confident that the Soviet Union was indeed a reliable ally. If they were willing to turn on Stalin shortly after ww2 and his death, who was to say they wouldn’t do the same of Mao. Fickle allies are bad news, especially fresh after a Civil War and in the throws of cultural revolution. I think both sides took the split a bit too far though,they could have kept temps low and gone their own ways, but they got very aggressive with each other which sucked a lot.
