What no historical materialism does to a mfer.
Socialist countries in Europe also did restricted the freedom of travel and turned out for a good reason, to not be destroyed. Ukraine does this for a reason to murder its own people. You can’t even get a difference so basic, you should really stop.
You are comparing a western nazi puppet who has to be forcibly stopped from comitting genocide with a communist country desperately defending themselves from west for 80 years and being a victim of genocide. Those are polar opposites even if they have some things in common, like i bet people in both countries also drink water.
You wrote this, context is rather clear:
I blame him for turning Ukraine into his North Korea. I blame him for trapping people, who die trying to cross the border by mountains/rivers, or hide at homes afraid to leave. I blame him for kidnapping people from the streets and sending them to the meatgrinder (so, killing them).
I guess it’s probably as hard as let’s say getting a permit to travel to western country for a citizen of socialist Ukrainian SSR, but even if they were literally welded to place it would still be nowhere near as bad as in Ukraine where the main problem is not being unable to leave but getting kidnapped and thrown into artillery fire. Again not in the slightest similar thing.
The only thing mind bogging here is who the hell accepted USSF uniform design, it would be too embarrassing for C-class sci fi movie from 80’s
I mean they have a grand total of 3 borders of which one is shoot to kill zone, and while they have to get passport and probably visa too they can go to China and Russia, though the numbers aren’t that high afaik. This is the norm for cold war time in which they de facto still are thanks to the USA, and this is very far from what is currently happening in Ukraine, first and foremost there is no open war and they aren’t send up into the meat grinder.
Your mentions about North Korea are entirely baseless and fully in agreement with the likes like Zelensky and his US handlers.
Yes, a controlled dismantlement would be better than collapse, and proletarian revolution would be best, but currently there’s not much prospects for either of those, so:
“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” ― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
Not in USA, they tested nuclear bombs on humans, in Japan and Bikini atoll.
Paying of course.
but that in no justifies what China did.
Nice of you to support slavery and serfdom.
“Blinken said” is not an evidence. We all seen how much is his word worth when he blocked recognition of human rights violation in Palestine that would stop US weapon shipments. His mouth is a septic tank and people were hanged in Nuremburg for less.
I seen them once or twice? Not much overlap i guess. Yogthos on the other hand provided like half the content for entire lemmy before the reddit exodus.
First would be Yogthos, but i wouldn’t use the word “briefly” here
Third is definitely me. But i don’t think there could be any level of fondness for cats that could even be described as “excessive”
Well to be fair i did tried once but noped out.

US: "Israel, did you do Horrifying’ Strike in Northern Gaza Kills Dozens?
Israel: “Yes, why do you ask?”
US: “Nvm, i’m gonna send you even more weapons”
8-10 mm lenght. There is at least one smaller frog species though and some fishes are in that sizes too, though weight much less.
Gotta love reflexive sinophobia for no reason, while China has been observably working for the UN all the time.
