Thank you for taking such good care of us on CoSo. It's comforting to know that you deal with the bad stuff so we can have an enjoyable time while on SM.

Seems like the case of Radio Tรฉlรฉvision Libre des Mille Collines did not teach anyone. People still try to use media as a tool for division, violence, and genocide. They also think they will get away with it.

#UniversalHealthCare is actually the "centrist" position in every other democratic country. There are lots of different models from around the world to choose from. But it is not a far-left position.

@rakshy it's true, the silence was deafening overall. imo the bravery of #Ukraine today, against a genocidal invasion and all the evils it brings, is also slowly exposing #RussianColonialism to the world. I truly hope the Ukrainian victory will be a tipping point for the world on a path to more freedom.

Have you seen Exterminate All the Brutes? It was the first time I saw Russian Colonialism exposed to a large audience in the US, only for a few minutes, but still.

@rakshy and the Soviets were kind enough to continue pillaging their colonies' food harvests, shipping them on full trains to mother russia while people waited in lines for hours for a rationed piece of bread in the oppressed countries. That this practice, to a smaller degree than the Holdomor but with similar tactics, continued in plain sight for decades without a much of a peep from human rights groups is ๐คฏ
