Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Vladimir Putin’s government has launched an aggressive campaign to nationalize the assets of Konstantin Strukov, one of Russia’s richest men and the owner of the country’s largest gold mining company. The move marks a sharp escalation in the Kremlin’s efforts to extract wealth from within its own elite as the financial toll of the war in Ukraine deepens.

Strukov, whose fortune is estimated at over $3.5 billion, is the founder of Yuzhuralzoloto—a gold empire built over decades with strong ties to the Kremlin. But on July 5, his private jet was grounded by Russian authorities as it prepared to leave for Turkey. His passport was reportedly seized, and the aircraft barred from departing.

the only thing that's crazy is westerners refusing to learn from the large body of independent evidence that defines marxists/leninists in a similar manner that climate deniers refuse to learn from the large body of climate science evidence.

Defending a violent, Imperial, kleptoctacy is not Marxism. Lying about how you are being criticized is not a genius plan to avoid the consequences of what you said. Can you communicate in anything other than buzz words or am I talking to a chat bot?

That's not what I said.

I would recommend that you reread the comment before it gets deleted by the liberal mods in this community; but I already know that your ilk doesn't respond well to reality.

Are, are the liberals in the room there with you? Roll your forehead across the keyboard if so. Seriously though. It's laughable looking at the levels of cognitive dissonance shared between people making arguments like yours and the maga crowd.

How do you not get exhausted from being so incredibly wrong all the time?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm powered by the fact that liberals like you get it wrong SIGNIFICANTLY more often. Lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Do other people get it wrong when you don't speak? Is that how it works?
So far everytime you you open your mouth you're wrong, so i I'm curious what 'significantly' means to you.
