the willful misunderstanding of what shes saying here on the service of pure contrarianism is stupid and you should all feel bad

excerpt of the "Analysis" section of the wikipedia article on the word "clanker":
"Linguist Adam Aleksic has described clanker as an evolution of racial slurs that anthropomorphize robotic systems. Internet memes incorporating the term often reference historical discrimination against marginalized groups such as African Americans. Based on the work of linguist Geoffrey Nunberg, American news website Axios has argued that clanker is merely a derogatory word, rather than a slur, because it does not perpetuate social inequities. NPR has noted the irony that the word robot was coined by Karel Čapek for his 1920 science-fiction play R.U.R. as a similar criticism of industrialization forcing workers to become devoid of their humanity. Aleksic has observed that robot can be further traced to the Proto-Slavic noun *orbъ, which means 'slave'."

all of that jazz about woke linux distros thats been going around reminded me of when i saw some people talking about omarchy (one of the certified non-woke distros according to the chuds). went to look at what the hubbub was about and this is the first thing i saw when i opened their website

a youtube thumbnail of a video titled Omarchy 2.0, featuring a system monitor on the right side of the screen and a very prominent SUPER GROK window on the left side.

you were provided with plenty of evidence which you either dismissed as lacking context or outright agreed with so idk what to tell you. like this still is the most blatant example of transphobia and every time it was brought up you just went "hes right"

i want you to look at this, read it through again and again and ask yourself. does he get to decide who is trans and who isnt? do you? is the oppression trans people face not real? do you really, REALLY think anyone would be trans to "hide behind" a marginalized identity? to win debates? be real

"at this point i'm open to the idea that for a lot of otherwise unremarkable, horrible white people, being trans is mostly a way to claim a marginalized identity to hide behind"

also these flaws, while obviously really bad, do not change the fact that the communist regime improved bulgaria's economic development. so like, you didnt exactly disprove my point.

excerpt from the economy section of the wikipedia page for the People's Republic of Bulgaria
The People's Republic of Bulgaria (PRB) had an average GDP per capita for an Eastern Bloc country. Average purchasing power was one of the lowest in the Eastern Bloc, mostly due to the larger availability of commodities than in other socialist countries, real wages from 1949 to 1989 increased by 195%, real average monthly amount of a pension rose by 868% and real monthly pension for old age and length of service rose by 342% in the same period. Workers employed abroad often received higher payments, and could thus afford a wider range of goods to purchase. According to official figures, in 1988 100 out of 100 households had a television set, 95 out of 100 had a radio, 96 out of 100 had a refrigerator and 40 out of 100 had an automobile.

oh so this guy was a religious fanatic with monarchist sympathies, defender of fascism and thought the nazis shouldve won WW2? sounds like a reliable source.

According to William Harrison, Solzhenitsyn was an "arch-reactionary", who argued that the Soviet State "suppressed" traditional Russian and Ukrainian culture, who called for the creation of a united Slavic state encompassing Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, and who was a fierce opponent of Ukrainian independence. It is well documented that his negative views on Ukrainian independence became more radical over the years. Harrison also alleged that Solzhenitsyn held Pan-Slavist and monarchist views. According to Harrison, "His historical writing is imbued with a hankering after an idealized Tsarist era when, seemingly, everything was rosy. He sought refuge in a dreamy past, where, he believed, a united Slavic state (the Russian empire) built on Orthodox foundations had provided an ideological alternative to western individualistic liberalism."

Solzhenitsyn also argued that the dechristianization of Russian culture, which he considered most responsible for the Bolshevik Revolution, began in 1666, became much worse during the Reign of Tsar Peter the Great, and accelerated into an epidemic during The Enlightenment, the Romantic era, and the Silver Age.

Solzhenitsyn made a speaking tour after Francisco Franco's death, and "told liberals not to push too hard for changes because Spain had more freedoms now than the Soviet Union had ever known." As reported by The New York Times, he "blamed Communism for the death of 110 million Russians and derided those in Spain who complained of dictatorship." Solzhenitsyn recalled: "I had to explain to the people of Spain in the most concise possible terms what it meant to have been subjugated by an ideology as we in the Soviet Union had been, and give the Spanish to understand what a terrible fate they escaped in 1939". This was because Solzhenitsyn saw at least some parallels between the Spanish Civil War between the Nationalists and the Republicans and the Russian Civil War between the anti-communist White Army and the Communist Red Army.

In 1983 he met Margaret Thatcher and told her "the German army could have liberated the Soviet Union from Communism but Hitler was stupid and did not use this weapon".

yea sure lets just not address the post where someone gives you 4 other books on the subject, lets focus on just this one instead. hey whats this about

excerpt from the wikipedia entry for The Gulag Archipelago
UCLA historian J. Arch Getty wrote of Solzhenitsyn's methodology that "such documentation is methodologically unacceptable in other fields of history" and that "the work is of limited value to the serious student of the 1930s for it provides no important new information or original analytical framework." Gabor Rittersporn shared Getty's criticism, saying that "he is inclined to give priority to vague reminiscences and hearsay ... [and] inevitably [leads] towards selective bias", adding that "one might dwell at length on the inaccuracies discernible in Solzhenitsyn’s work". Vadim Rogovin writes of the eyewitness accounts that Solzhenitsyn had read, saying he "took plenty of license in outlining their contents and interpreting them". Both Rogovin and Walter Laquer argue that the book belongs to the genre of 'oral history'.
