Hi hot takes thread.

Question: what is the evidence for Soviet maliciousness causing the Holodormir? What's the evidence that it was caused by kulak fit-throwing and western blockades?

iirc fucky things were already happening with grain prices that basically forced the communists' hands but i'm going completely off half-remembered gut feelings here so you may be right

My understanding is that there was some sort of gold ban wherein the USSR couldn't pay other countries with gold or coal or whatever for industrial components, but only grain was accepted by western nations as a way to gently caress with the Soviet economy.

I contend that cracking hydrogen on a nuclear-hydro-solar-misc grid is the best way to make portable fuel sources from grid excess.

Pulling in CO2 is technoliberalist brainworms and will never work. The gas is in the air and isn't coming back out for centuries at any remotely imaginable timeframe. You can't unfuck this, the focus needs to be on revenge followed by survival. Set aside land for old growth forest and learn to suffer with the rest of us.

Talk about a hot take. "We can't fix any of this so let's not even try instead we all just die lol" is libbrained defeatism, go vote for Biden in 2024 and leave the rest of us to clean up the mess.

he sounds based

The further we get away from the Cold War and the associated Red Scare the more and more it looks like the Soviet Union saved the world from fascism, and to thank them for that the entire west hosed them over until they collapsed, but not before the Soviets transformed a peasant country who were plowing fields with wooden plows and oxen to a nuclear superpower who won the space race in a little over 50 years.

gently caress the Romanovs, they got everything that was coming to them. The apocryphal story of their execution being a brutal gorefest because the gunfire richocheted off the treasure they greedily tried to take rather than running like hell is one of my favorite. Get wrecked.

how did monkeys make it to the Americas (don’t c/p wikipedia if you don’t already know)

South America and Africa were connected millions of years ago, and primates lived on that land mass. When it split, that ancestral population of primates (or prosimians, whatever) evolved into the New World and Old World monkeys. I would imagine that the ape lineage sprouted off shortly after this divergence as well.
