This is larpy and misanthropic.

It's actually really disturbing thinking about his boasting about how good at fucking people he is when you remember he's into kids. Like, what are the odds his strategy is just going down to the local highschool?

I don't think USSR became what anyone in the west wanted it to become.

Who is Yeltsin?

It's nowhere near neoliberal, for one, more like a mafia state.

Technically it quickly became something closer to classically liberal rather than neoliberal (as the imperial core shunned it) but to claim that liberalism is opposed to mafiosi is hilarious, it has never existed without them. It's like saying liberalism is opposed to slavery, there is some vacuous sense in which you could use sophistry to push that angle, but when you look at real, historic manifestations of liberal states, they are heavily economically reliant on various forms of slavery, whether domestic or via their dogs in the third world.

If you think the Russian Federation and the USSR are remotely comparable, you're smoking crack. NATO won, and the depraved, neoliberal regime it replaced the USSR with is its own God damned fault.

Yeah, and point two is just shifting the problem of definition to "patently offensive".

I think the last point (while absolutely not what I would use to construct such a definition) would be the basic defense for most manga that aren't smut, since even if it has smutty elements (or just engages with the concept of sexuality), it is usually a minority of what is going on in the work, so you just need to defend the rest of the work as literary and legally it's done. I guess this is pretty precision-targeted at dedicated porn distribution and that sort of thing rather than really resolving the question of "what kind of sexuality is okay to depict?"

There were false accusations against him wrt union busting, but that doesn't make him not a piece of shit for other reasons

it would be funny if they find out about our vaushbad masterpost and blame us for this.

It also might be worth reposting that since there is renewed interest in Vsh bad, ig
