    ??? No different than Russia? HAVE YOU READ THE HISTORY OF THE U.S.? THERE ISN'T EVEN A SIDE OF COMPARISON RUSSIA LOOKS LIKE THE LAND OF PEACE COMPARED TO THE U.S.

    I suggest you read "Endless Holocausts: Mass Death in the History of the United States Empire"

    [Video] LA cops force their horses to run over protester

    If anything, it's US cops learning from the cossacks, whom tsar always send against people when police was not enough. Running over unarmed people with horses was their favourite tactics.

    Well you see they shot some monarchists and that's equivalent to murdering tens of millions of brown people somehow.

    Buddy I'm already on team "Fuck the Tsar"

    A bloody Civil War to end monarchism is not equivalent to what the US gets up to on a regular basis for the sake of making capitalists richer.

    Is your point that the people fighting against Tsarism shouldn't have done so? That they should've continued to suffer without complaint?

    Of course the monarchists and reactionaries are going to accuse their opponents of their own crimes, nothing surprising there.

    I don't think that's being disputed. Both the USA and Russia had incredibly violent labor histories in the late 1800s and 1900s. The main difference is that in Russia, the workers+peasants organized and won, and in the US, they lost.

    Either way this both-sidesing of violence makes no sense. You might as well demonize every just cause in history, or every person that defends themselves from an aggressor with that outlook.

    Using whole Wikipedia pages as citations is terminally lib brained. At least cite the specific wikipedia sources jfc.

    Citing "pogrom" wikipedia like you're trying to prove the concept of it exists is just the dingleberry on top of this shit cake.

    “Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.

    Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

    Asking citations is how we get everyone to tell the people who know what they're talking about vs the ignorant libs who have "'common knowledge" and fuck all else. Lazy and obnoxious is the name for the lib playbook, talking about shit they half remember from propaganda fiction they pretend is the same as history.

    Also, I'm not the one making claims. When I start pulling numbers out my ass you're more than welcome to put very little effort into asking for the source. It'll take only slightly more effort from myself since I do keep some handy before I post.

    Imagine thinking you can explain the Russian civil war to a communist with your wikipedia linking ass. Go read an actual book sometime.

    Learning the term Sealioning doesn't absolve you from sourcing your claims, maybe find the time in your busy schedule learning a single concept correctly instead of having confidence that you got the gist of it from the vibes and a twenty second skim of whatever google spit back at you.

    In the mind of the USAian liberal, this is also because of Russia. Things used to be great, but now they're bad because the foreigners are controlling the president.

  • In the minds of anyone with a passing understanding of Russian foreign policy can absolutely see they have their hooks in Trump and you would have to have a significant deficit in logical thinking skills to believe otherwise. That being said that only accounts for some of the war, violence, and agitation the USA is involved in.
