What strategies do you guys use to help cope with the holodomor? My therapist isn't much help, unfortunately (she doesn't believe in it :psyduck:)

I've found that it helps to exercise, and to spend time with friends and family.

Get out of here. Now.

Edit: Oh wait, you were talking about the Dolohomer. Sorry!

I just don't get the love of war. War is an evil! I would be worried about my soul being damned if I were them. :ohdear:

Okay, but picture this -

A group of Ukrainians firing an artillery round while "Welcome to the Jungle" plays nearby, revealing they share the spirit of freedom with their American friends.

They then dance a little, showing that, while they are serious warriors fighting for their nation, they are not afraid to be a little silly.

But then you hear a foreboding sound. It is the sound of Russia's armies. Putin, laughing, can be seen in the sky above them.

Don't you want to help these free people defeat this great evil?

That's gross (because of the flies which imply that the substances being fired into the man's mouth are nasty)

It's funny how this happens so frequently, and these people somehow think that their anecdote would be even remotely sympathetic to anyone who isn't rich.

Guys guys this is supposed to be a fun and friendly thread where we discuss how the holodomor undoubtedly happened, let's not bring the mood down by talking about who banned who and for what reasons

The story of how these users were banned is the same as the story about the holodomor

any good books about the holodomor? so far all I've got is the grapes of wrath

I recommend the Young Jedi Knights book series. It might seem unrelated to the holodomor, but...well, I won't spoiler the surprise ;) Let's just say a certain someone whose name starts with S and ends with N makes an appearance.

Does anyone else use post-it notes to remind themselves about the holodomor?
I know what you're probably thinking - that I'm a piece of poo poo for needing to be reminded. But I have a bad memory, and I think accessibility is important if we want to spread awareness of the holodomor

I have learned my lesson, from now on I will only quote the wonderful prose of Snyder, Conquest of 80s, Applebaum, and affirm that the Holodomor did indeed happen. Because it did! The grain is gonezo, Stalin did so.

I'm sensing some sarcasm here. I don't think you are genuine in your contrition.

Wasn't Stalin's fault. He gave the order to "get that bread" and his party goons took him literally

He was a leader, it is his responsibility to know how his followers will interpret his words. This does not absolve him.
