The difference between Russian and American authoritarianism
Communists, go live in Russia if you think America is so bad. I will take my good quality of life in capitalist America over any communist shithole all the live long day.
Communism is only good for impractical fantasy ideas and authoritarian shitholes. Prove me wrong if you can.
Russia isn’t a communist country lmao
I don’t know about that but I heard there’s No True Scotsmen there.
Alternative option: Communists, move to China if America is so bad.
Words mean things. Russia isn’t communist.
You just don’t get it!
People in the Lemmy bubble are smarter and have more self control than anyone in history!!
They can make it work!!
On the surface it seems like these comparisons are valid, but there’s truly a world of difference in how America deals with its people.
The fact still remains that skilled immigrants can come to America and make a life for themselves. It doesn’t matter who they are. Or that non-white or non-Christians can get elected to the U.S. congress.
America started out with an idealism it’s failing to live up to, and it’s the fault of those who indulge realpolitiks over that idealism. This isn’t an America problem, there’s a rot that’s taken over the soul of humanity. We’re casting aside intellectualism and enlightenment for realpolitiks.
Make no mistake though, people cannot be trusted so you always have to protect yourself. But there’s no civilization without ideals for humanity.
Great point. America is a perfect example of human brain rot and ignorance, but it’s worldwide.
I’d love to know why some folks downvoted me. I’m an American and have seen it from California to Minnesota to Maine. It’s not an insult to the US. It’s an insult to human beings.
Move to Russia then tell us how equal it is 🙄
Tankies 🤦♂️
Haha my dude you are comparing gulags to prison in the USA?
LMAO 🤣 i don’t want to say Lemmy is disconnected from reality but this kind of posts and the ones blaming Latin Americans and minorities for the election lost just makes everyone here look unhinged
