    Do you have charts that include all the soviets combined or just Russia? Russia practiced its own version of imperialism over Siberia, Ukraine, etc so showing charts titled "Russia" is telling. Would love to see life expectancy in Ukraine following the holodomor

    Why don't you take all this misplaced energy defending an authoritarian state with really excellent propaganda and use it to support a group actually doing some good like the Zapatistas or something

    Quibbling over the definition of "authoritarian" is kind of a red flag for a country that invented the term "gulag"

    Defending the Soviet Union in this way has the same energy as someone claiming that the Nazis actually did some really good scientific research

    "Pointing out that my epithet is categorically meaningless is a real red flag for a country that had -checks notes- prisons."

    Are you just doing spooky Slavic word association at this point?

    Lysenkoism was a mistake that was corrected. Liberal regimes are not without examples of adopting bad/misguided scientific policies either. The US state for example currently denies climate change and vaccinations.

    Ukrainian genocide

    If you mean the "Holodomor" all I can say is holocaust denial through double genocide theory is still holocaust denial.

    If you mean the current war then I don't even have words for how out of touch with reality you must be.

    Okay, I have a time machine and am willing to send you back to one of two places. Either you can be a peasant in 1930s Siberia, or you can be a Cherokee in 1870s America. Since both are the same, I assume you'll just be flipping a coin.
