Perhaps you should reread what davel posted above.

I hadn’t known this about how the Soviets treated Nazis before and after the war. It’s good to learn this and I really enjoy seeing your analysis and rebuttals.

At no point has eldavi broken it into a “false dichotomy”. eldavi is 100% correct that in liberal countries the judicial systems operate at the behest of the elites. That corruption can be addressed. As for fighting that corruption, you have another in this thread laying out the facts about who actually is fighting corruption and how.

There is a Ukraine community, but such a black-and-white perception of how Ukraine is discussed on Lemmy.ml does tell me all I need to know.

What do you mean by true info and limited how so?

I’m definitely framing it that way and I was mainly looking to use insight from others in addition to the research I’m doing.

I wasn’t aware that the rivalry could be so nasty between all three.

Thanks for your input.

Noted, thank you for that insight.

I’m going to consider the Pixel Tablet and GrapheneOS as well.

I saw DivestOS was discontinued and that was disappointing, I had used some of its apps. Thanks for your perspective on their proprietary cloud and programs, I’ll keep that in mind

I see.

And then those people go on to commit and abet pillaging and atrocities worldwide. You are defending killing people. There always is a choice, and the fact is that things can be changed for the better. A better world is possible.

That doesn’t change the fact you support all the above.

You’re evidently okay with the atrocities being committed. You excuse the inflicting of suffering and devastation on non Americans for a selfish benefitting of the soldiers committing and abetting them directly, and moreover to the benefit of scumbag elites who are incentivized to continue perpetrating acts of aggression, crimes, and atrocities, placing profits over people as always.

Smedley Butler’s conclusions apply to every American soldier.

Wild conclusion that I’m ignorant of the rightward shift just because I said Bush doesn’t sound like a lefty. Doesn’t help your case that he never was one in the first place.

How about trying to actually answer the question posed instead of further projection?

Every single one of them participate in or abet the acts of aggression, crimes, and atrocities carried out across the many conflicts the U.S. is participating and has participated in. As has been pointed out, they help facilitate the killing of civilians, many of which are impoverished.

The fact they’re joining for the benefits does not excuse them in any way.

The very last part of your last sentence is a confession.

Almost as if there are other jobs out there besides military. Or do those not count?

Also, the fact you think Bush sounds like a lefty further highlights your own sheer ignorance.

Nowhere have I denied it. Even by your own words, the growth during Soviet times improved the quality of life of Poles significantly beyond what they had prior, only halting during the 80s and 90s as the Warsaw Pact collectively entered recession and then endured shock therapy. Are you suggesting that entire period of socialist governance is the dark period or only the 80s and 90s?

Though there has been further growth, income inequality has hugely increased, and there’s the compromises in sovereignty the EU imposes on its member states. Poland is a vassal.

You’re welcome to examine the conditions of Poland prior to the second world war and compare that through the rest of the 20th century. But at this rate, you’ll most certainly dismiss it all as “Soviet Propaganda” as well.

In fact, here’s a snapshot of that industrial growth Poland experienced under socialist governance spanning the 60s through the mid to late 70s, as shown in the 1978 edition of the United Nations Statistical Yearbook.

But that’s Soviet Propaganda, right?

Oh, just like how said economy is producing four times the amount of ammunition that NATO is, according to the Secretary General himself?

You are willfully ignorant to the fact every crime, atrocity, and act of aggression was willingly committed and/or abetted by soldiers who enlisted on their own free will. This is what you support. It’s not a hard concept.
