    Lol the USSR collapsed because it was driven into the ground for decades by an authoritarian regime and relied extremely much on oil sales, who tanked (the oil price tanked) and took the whole fucking soviet union down.

          Hunh.

          • decades of authoritarian regime? ✅
          • irrational dependence on fossil fuels ✅
          • propaganda indiscernible from journalism ✅
          • internal politics fueled by corruption, greed, hate ✅
          • gen pop pitted against each other to boiling point ✅
          • secret “police”, silencing political rivals & dissenters, etc… ✅✅✅

          Yep. Sounds about right. Who else could that be except the former USSR? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Good thing everyone’s learned that lesson and we can move forward as a fucking species, eh?

            Who else can it be today, russia (or any of the dictatorships in CRINK)? But they put other countries populations against each others, not their own population which is silenced.

                    I’m not american for starters, but I see you have to use under the belt rhetorics and agressiveness which is what losers do.
