I just hate murderous regimes that murder millions of their own people

FTFY

Average imperial core Cold Warrior understander.

ChiefSinner ,

The US is included in my list too with the Native American genocide for what its worth lol. But people tend to forget that Soviet Russia and Communist China killed millions of their own people. They should not be praised or imitated. We should learn from the horrible mistakes of the past.

By millions murdered, you don’t mean people who died in the last famine in China after centuries of famines, and you don’t mean the last famine in the region that became the USSR after centuries of famines, right? Famines that happened during or soon after the bloody revolutions overthrowing the tsars and emperors, under which the previous famines occurred?

ChiefSinner ,

I mean in the boxer revolution and the millions that died in gulags in USSR because of famine and the government selecting people at random to starve to death in labor camps.

The boxer rebellion was 50 years before the Chinese Communist Revolution. The CIA’s own unclassified reports show what people in gulags were fed. Why would they choose people at random? That would be dumb. Nazis, kulaks, other prisoners of the revolutionary war, and common criminals were in gulags.

ChiefSinner ,

Bruh, they literally picked people from bread lines and threw them into the gulag. Not to mention the majority of clergy for just being christian clergy.

[citation needed]
Do you even think critically about the cold war propaganda we were fed? Why would you pick people out of bread lines and put them into gulags to feed them there? That would mean you’d have to build more gulags and get people to staff them. Why would you do that unless you’re a cartoon villain? It makes no sense.

Not to mention the majority of clergy for just being christian clergy.

I have no great love for clergy, especially when they side with tsars against a worker revolution.

emidio ,

Lemme just unload very blurry memories of junior high school class and add numbers with “millions”, that sounds like enough work to not give 1 minute of my time to actually know anything about the USSR or China

ChiefSinner ,

Why don’t you read up on the USSR and read peoples actual experiences with it. Yeah there weren’t millions in the boxer revolution, but tbh the forced abortion 2 kid thing probably puts them into millions category

No true Italian

True cuz I’m actually Sicilian

lrnz92 ,

Italian as in Italian American?

ShouldIHaveFun ,

FYI America is not the only country Italians live in. They also populate a whole country on the other side of the world. The Italian Americans that colonized this country called it Italy and named themselves “Italians” (without “American”, I know, it’s crazy!).

chrischryse ,

Well technically Sicilian

I had originally written that, but I went and looked it up and it actually is “this”. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ThatWeirdGuy1001 , (edited )
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world avatar

Y’know when you’re right you’re right. The lyrics do indeed say “this”

However I’m going to lump it in with Blinded by the Light because it’s definitely sang “these” just like Manfred sang “douche” instead of deuce.

Edit: After relistening to the song she actually does say “this” she simply expresses the /ee/ version of the i in “this” so it sounds like “theeeeis”

To most people not paying attention it would sound like “these” but upon closer inspection she is actually saying “this”

Sweet Alabama home doesn’t sound right, so it’s gotta be sweet CAROLINE ^dah dah dah

FunderPants , in Choices choices.

Caroline, every time. Easy choice.

Sweet Home Alabama really grinds my gears. Neil Young sings about systemic racism in the south and Skynard retorts ‘yea some people here are racist ♪ but not all of us are ♪ frig off Neil Young♪ whoa now look at the sky’. Horse shit lyrics, sick composition.

I unironically had no idea.

harrys_balzac ,

But “Sweet Caroline” is problematic in a different way. From Wikipedia - “Diamond has provided different explanations for the song’s origins. In a 2007 interview, he stated the inspiration for the song was John F. Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline, who was 11 years old at the time it was released. Diamond sang the song for her at her 50th birthday celebration in 2007. On December 21, 2011, in an interview on CBS’s The Early Show, Diamond said that a magazine cover photo of Caroline as a young child on a horse with her parents created an image in his mind, and the rest of the song came together about five years after seeing the picture. However, in 2014, Diamond said the song was about his then-wife Marcia, but he needed a three-syllable name to fit the melody.”

He wrote lyrics about touching each other a few years after seeing her in a photo as a young child?

FunderPants , (edited )

Gross, classic rock /pop are full of gross stories like that.

JayDee ,

I’m the opposite. Any time I hear the ‘Caroline’ I get aliitle frustrated.

‘Home Alabama’ forever and always.

What? Remapping your keyboard? Well, there are worst jokes, I still remember that time when the first PCs appeared and you could try them in shopping centers. They quickly stopped doing this, because some went into the BIOS and disabled the keyboard or worse, the screen, Hail Satan. Good ol’ times 😏

Frozzie ,
@Frozzie@lemmy.world avatar

No I mean the code is on a git repository so you see unsaved changes

InternetPerson ,

When your keyboard is remapped, you commit those changes yourself.
