in the 80s US left was essentially pro-RUS/pro-USSR
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 4th, 2022 3:49 PM Author: razzle demanding ratface base this is not an overstatement. the left intelligentsia, academics, journalists, midwit brigade, etc, were basically Rusophile anti-Americans who had Gorbachev posters hanging on their walls and wanted EVIL NAZI REAGAN to unilaterally disarm.
Putin is literally a KGB agent from that era hellbent on restoring the anti-American USSR in some form.
I get that RUS '22 is not the same thing as USSR '85, but it's probably more or less the same thing in practical terms.
the unhinged zeal of the US left re: 'Russia' seems disorienting in context of their relatively recent love affair w/ the same country/culture. |

if Putin reconstituted the USSR boundaries today, USSR 2.0 would represent, from a geopolitcal perspective, an entity virtually identical to that of the USSR in 1986. |

The same people who hated Reagan in the 80s hate Russia now, for the same reasons |

Date: October 4th, 2022 4:29 PM Author: razzle demanding ratface base that is the superficial argument. but in practical terms, the USSR was always more culturally 'conservative' than the decadent West. you think they had Studio 54 debauched discotheque scenes in the USSR? just locate the bastions of 'tradism' in the West today -- all former Iron Curtain countries in E. Europe sheltered for 70 years from Western influence.
so it's just strange that it never occurs to the left that they were essentially backing 'Putinism' in the '80s (Russian Nationalism by another name, despite the window dressing and 'marxist' apologetics), and are now capriciously denouncing it in 2022. a great irony. |

Date: October 4th, 2022 3:59 PM Author: Diverse Internal Respiration Hall Both the modern left and the modern mainstream right are descended from Trotskyist internationalists who were pro-one world socialism, nominalist, and oligarchic. Fascism once served as a unifying evil to keep the MIC going; then the evil empire of Communism (which we helped create); now we're back on to Russia, with Covid and Racism and Global Warming waiting in the wings.

Date: October 4th, 2022 4:04 PM Author: razzle demanding ratface base but the proto-Globohomos were pro-Russia in the 80s.
people like Dan Rather who now tweet about NUKING PUTIN were the same people carrying water for the Russians in the 80s. these people were literally Russian fifth-columnists who would have welcomed Soviet invasion/domination (see: Chomsky begging for Soviet conquest in C. America, in mideast, take your pick, they were always on the side of the Russians and against 'fascist Reagan'). |

Ignore the NPC's and the media apparatus that programs them. Look for the motives of the men behind the curtain. |

Date: October 4th, 2022 4:09 PM Author: razzle demanding ratface base yeah, i saw it, but it's just insane and too much to believe sometimes that these people truly, truly are non-sentient 'NPCs' (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5205590&forum_id=2#45279296) |

Date: October 4th, 2022 4:12 PM Author: Diverse Internal Respiration Hall Most people don't really think about most things in anything like an independent way. Instead, they rely on the herd to guide most things they believe. This works fine for the most part since people mostly don't need to know anything about most topics for their personal lives. But herd psychology can be, and has been, hacked by the media environment — just look at the incentives created by a modern total state with nominally democratic/republican control over funds and power.
The rest is ez to fill in. |

"In 2021, Russia implemented a progressive tax with rates of 13% or 15% for those earning over 5 million rubles per year."

Date: October 5th, 2022 2:54 AM Author: Jet Striped Hyena LMAO, it's the exact opposite.
GOP was obsessed with opposing Russia. It was their entire platform throughout the 70's and 80's. The left just didn't care as much.
Now 40 years later the GOP is in love with Russia. Just after telling us we needed to bomb Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Very disturbing how retarded and easily tricked GOP voters are. |
