banging on the same nailhead again. just gonna say that while i understand a lot of people don't do this out of outright malice, i find it very side-eye worthy how so many people on here are very comfortable adopting aesthetics and aligning themselves with a regime that called itself socialist and yet has killed, exploited and assimilated kazakh people.
i talk about this and there's always at least one person who is mad at me about it

ussr wasn't even communist in spirit. assimilationism, militarism, eco-hostile industrialization, totalitarian border control, censorship, prisons and prison labor, and iron curtain are fundamentally anti-liberation and anti-proletarian, anti-equality.

just because someone cites marx instead of lincoln when they're doing it doesn't mean the treatment suddenly becomes praxis

@mynameistillian@plush.city well it's a symbol of communism/socialism. don't get me wrong i too think it's cringe but i get the intent

@JuxGD i know, but i really wish people rather came up and used something else. just too much bad blood. not to mention how many of them happily put mao or stalin images in their headers or pfps. just eugh

@mynameistillian yeah, and it's kinda the same deal with tankies too
like, you (referencing them) know they were called that because they supported using tanks to crush dissenters? of the not-actually-socialist regime?
"I will roll tanks over the people who disagree with me" is not communist, it's just fascist

it's not contradictory of me to believe usa lied about a lot of things and used red scare as a tactic to pummel any leftist or progressive thought in usa, and also to ramp up military spending and nationalist propaganda. but it's historical negationism to sit here and act like stuff was all fine and dandy

like they literally drained Aral Sea due to overindustrialisation and forcibly shuffled people around, some of which ended up in kazakhstan (this is also the reason why we have such a big koryo-saram diaspora, they just yeeted everyone to us), beginning from stalin onwards there were politics of assimilationism of central asian people into russian culture and language, i mean, fuck, they even tested nukes on our soil

@mynameistillian i have one meme about this, it will take a while to put alt text to it, maybe you can repost it every time you feel like it

they also basically finished off the process of annihilation of the nomadic lifestyle that we all had, that started back when russian empire decided we were "savages"
like...soviet union did do good things, even i admit this, but no amount of good will ever make up for whatever this is. if you claim to support workers around the world you don't do all this shit.

@mynameistillian@plush.city a lot of folks are always looking for a group to belong to who are the Good Guys, it's kind of a dangerous poison.
not trying to justify anything, it's just... how i contextualize this really bad mental habit that makes people cheer for monsters sometimes and blinds us to what we are saying -

also the famine that killed 1.5 million people in kazakhstan is also entirely on them. the collectivization efforts were a complete disaster because the soviet government, in their russianness and whiteness (of course, lol), failed to see that the way that kazakh people lived back then was different to the european conception of marxist social relations. they didn't understand it and just fucked it all up

@mynameistillian oh yeah the "workers and farmers government" that killed and imprisoned striking workers and revolting farmers. fuck that shit. hammer and sickle never was a symbol of liberation and never will be.

anyway, i think i hammered my point on enough. a revolution that is blind to culture, views mother earth as just a resource depot, and places the need to control over what makes people free is not gonna liberate us

@JuxGD @mynameistillian no it's fucking not. it is explicitly a bolshevist symbol. it was designed for the bolshevist movement.

@little_foxtoy@bark.lgbt @mynameistillian@plush.city never said it was intended to be a symbol for socialism/communism but like that's what people use it for

@mynameistillian just seeing a somewhat recent video about the nuclear history in Khazakstan was chilling and just disgusting to see what became of it, nevermind hearing how bad it was during

@JuxGD @mynameistillian yeah ok maybe that's what people use it for, but that doesn't make it less true. it is a specifically bolshevist symbol. if someone uses it I will have to assume they aren't an ally. as an anarchist I just don't trust people that put themselves in the tradition of those who killed those I would have considered my comrades.

@kenobit @la_mosca_2 @Donutsaurus @Zambunny @bagigio immagino che tuttə voi non utilizziate app bancarie sul vostro smartphone visto che la diffusione dell'online banking ha portato nell'ultimo decennio al licenziamento di centinaia di migliaia di lavoratori del settore.

@some@hachyderm.io Ha, that's a great extension of the metaphor. Emotional experiences as driver updates; it makes sense that curse words install so fast, they basically come bundled with the driver package. 😂
-
@hongminhee seeing this made me think of my own personal experience learning languages as an enthusiast but also as in immigrant. I find that getting emotional in a foreign language, forces the processing from the CPU to the GPU. Nothing sensible will come out, but with 'driver updates', the GPU learns it. 😄 I think this also supports the claim why it's easier to learn curse words than others.

@lproven Please also share an email address and a phone number if applicable. And if you do share a phone number please pick up the calls, don't share a number and ignore calls.

@biglesp excellent news! Don’t forget about us little makers on your way up the mast!
-
@biglesp That's such great news! Congrats mate!
-
@some@hachyderm.io Thank you! It's actually a metaphor that came to me when I first learned about System 1 vs. System 2 thinking. A foreign language seems to throttle the GPU, which forces more work onto the CPU, and it turns out a lot of that “GPU work” is the emotional system quietly pre-computing your judgments for you.

@biglesp congratulations old chap! 👍
