"The USSR was so oppressive they didn't even have tropical fruit" hey quick question why is tropical fruit so readily available in the US. WHY IS TROPICAL FRUIT SO READILY AVAILABLE IN THE US.
quickly now: how did Florida and Hawaii come to be part of the US empire
Calling it the US Empire as though the USSR wasn't even worse about taking over and subjugating territory.
groundbreaking: more than one country can commit acts of imperial violence
>Even worse
The United States of America reduced the indigenous population of its territory to 0.02% of what it was pre colonisation
By what fucking possible metric was the USSR "even worse" than that
The ussr was a direct continuation of the russian empire. Do you think they are the biggest nation on Earth by being populous ethnos starting the bronze age and making peace treaties?
You do not do indigenous americans any justice by dismissing the genocide of indigenous siberians. To compare two genocides - in numbers? You wish to do this? Incredibly dumbfounding to know of world history on one side and unforgettable, unjustifiable, irreparable, that is truth - yet does the same not apply to the many vast cultures of asia and their people eradicated by russians? Not even counting the europeans, whatever. Is because their number per-capita-of-genocide is smaller? From colonisation by the empire to laws of soviets directly forcing people into russification, counting out even political violence for argument, over the same four centuries that usa commited atrocities -- I will not play number games with you. To not know of this is shamefull.
Educate yourself perhaps before speaking.
