Lol. Why u so stuck on WW2?

Jews are putting Palestinians into an open air concentration camp right this moment.

Bombed out 70% of Gaza and leaving these guys to die without aid.

And israel is capitalist. And us sending them weapons to keep bombing is capitalist.

Atrocities are not inherently associated with capitalism or socialism.

I think life was just harder back then for everyone.

he Soviet government entertained the idea of resettling all Jews in the USSR in a designated territory where they would be able to pursue a lifestyle that was “socialist in content and national in form”.

^ it was an idea for their benefit. sure - it didnt work, but the intentions here were positive.

In the spring of 1928, 654 Jews arrived to settle in the area; however, by October 1928, 49.7% of them had left because of the severe conditions.

They left Karl - means it wasn’t concentration camps gun to their heads.

After the war ended in 1945, there was renewed interest in the idea of Birobidzhan as a potential home for Jewish refugees. The Jewish population in the region peaked at around 46,000–50,000 Jews in 1948, around 25% of the entire population of the JAO.[15]

Again - Karl - do you remember the climate for jews back in the days ? noone would give them land. US turned jew ship back: https://www.history.com/news/wwii-jewish-refugee-ship-st-louis-1939 and they were all killed.

USSR should get nothing but a praise for giving them land and accepting jewish refugees.

Maybe it didnt work out in the end - but the intentions here were good and pure.

making it into some anti-communist spiel doesnt hold water.

Yes. To be with their people. Good idea, didn’t work . Not worried about jao sorry

I’ve read it - they look like anecdotal accounts and don’t look too credible. Would there be any systematic Jewish decoration policy - I assure u this would have come out in the 90s when archives were opened and Western media would have had a field day with this.

And no - jao was formed before WW2 - and from what I’m reading - people were not forced to move there, there was a propaganda campaign promoting it.

tbh i’m 100% confident if this even happened - it was on small scale and not an official ussr policy.

as in - if some polaks got arrested after 1939 - those were based on class and stance towards ussr. some of those surely were jewish. boohoo.

there is not a single official document u can find where jews would have been specifically ordered to be deported.

Like putting Jews and Red Army POWs let out of Nazi camps in gulags. Very positive.

that’s not a real thing.
you wouldn’t be able to find an example of systematic jews transfers to gulags - search if u wanna.
kidding me - many people in ussr leadership were jews

the minority

not sure what u talking about.
there hasn’t been mass ethnic deportations after about ww2 - which I think we can all agree was a very special unique case.
besides - supposed democracy of the time were putting peaceful japanese into concentration camps and segregating negros - so how are they better.

I don’t really care.
I think ussr had a lot of unique positive things.

How was decided? By number of children. 1 kid - 2br apartment, 2 kids - 3 bedroom apartment.
There was also wait list. No - I wouldn’t say housing was different based on income - actually 100% sure it wasnt.

I find that USSR housing much better than 2x4 framed house I live in now in US. Cmon- cant beat 3m ceilings - in US its reservd for the rich.

One thing they really fucked up planning is parking - noone knew everyone would drive a car in 30 years

It’s unrelated to Ussr.
Many countries criminalized it and still do including US until very very recent times.

Nothing to do with communism vs capitalism.

I always had toilet paper growing up in ussr.
Not sure where u got that from.

But what it did have - you could walk everywhere - any lake, any shore any seafront is public. Medical system for everyone. Housing for everyone.

Yes - light industry had issues.

So why are u guys so against communism?

This problem was solved in ussr.

What phones u guys been using for the last 15 years? I haven’t seen slide out keyboards for about that long

I like the generic rectangle block of glass.
Don’t understand why they insist on a physical keyboard.

Not angry, that was a figure of speech . Which remote and Os do u use for RPI?

Have like 4 of rpi4b laying around maybe I’ll try Kodi again

Mmm sandy.

Ok. Congratufuckinglations - you are the o.ooo1 percenter that figured it out and probably uses Kodi on Raspbian?.

But ofc I do. So my question is - which device are u connecting?

Unless it’s open source and called Kodi or you are connecting some Linux device - they all gonna be spying on u - that’s my point.

From what device?
They all spy on u.

Unless u are using Linux, but majority of people just use whatever is installed on tv
