It does feel like this might genuinely be a case where chauvinism played a role in attitudes, because surely the USSR must have seen what was inflicted on Africa and other places despite their inclusion in capitalism, and I have to assume the feeling was that it would be different for the states of the USSR, or at least Russia specifically.

Isn't xpeopletwitter subs supposed to be like observational in a sense?
This is literally just white people blue maga posting in earnest.
The dictatorship of tourism, or something.
My twitter for you page isnt even filled with reactionaries all that often, 9 times out of 10 its some jackass I don't even follow, nor is followed by anyone else I follow, quote tweeting a reactionary with the most non-commentary ever.
Sick of it, anyone that pops up with a "oh they arent even pretending to not be nazis anymore" I just block, annoying dipshits.
Also then you google the second guys name and find out that what he actually did back in WW2 was send fanmail to J Edgar Hoover about hypnosis and also tried to set up his own freelance counter-espionage circle at some university, while impersonating an FBI agent, until some student told his parents and they complained to the actual FBI.
Not even hyperbole, google "George Estabrooks" and check out the FOIA material on him on The Black Vault, its extremely funny, he starts mailing random ideas about submarine defense that Hoover has to tell him to send to the Navy instead. Eventually the FBI documents start including a note that if he tries to talk to the director of the FBI, to instead send him to someone who knows how to use a lie detector.
The whole thing of being completely unaware before some activation phrase makes you follow all your programming is just hollywood shit and bullshit claims from hypnotist snake oil salesmen.
If you try and look at all the separate claims for how that type of stuff is supposed to work its just total calvinball, one person will say its something you need to basically prepare a person for from infancy in order to be able to program them, and then another guy will just say some shit like "Nah you just gotta be good at hypnosis, I actually did this all the time back in WW2 before any of these other guys even came up with the idea."
It's probably something really horrible like they realized they couldnt put literally hitler in as an aryan child so they put Stalin in instead as a closest proxy for edgy anime pedos.
My feelings solidifed back in high school when each set of wireless earphones I bought completely died a year before my equivalent wired ones started even having issues, tried it twice and then went back to taping the cable on my wired ones so it stuck in the one position that didnt cut in and out randomly.
If wireless starts becoming wonky theres just jack shit you can do.
I feel in a very literal sense I cannot empathize with the person quoted last in this article, I could not fathom bringing up "well everyones got a right to run a business" type shit for what is without hyperbole a grotesque technological parasite that is constantly harming your health and safety to create fake money for gamblers.
Truly a creature of ideology, very concerning.
99% of tv tropes entries for "fair for its day" when it comes to trans people is literally just like, this bigoted mockery of trans people COULD be worse, so its actually impossible to judge.
Shitty website.
Thats literally the exact opposite that I hear, the propaganda is that China constantly exercises some kind of ownership over citizens going to other countries and have secret police operating abroad to ensure they can take people back.
I'm sure theres a lot of technical medical stuff you get to learn as a pharmacist(unless the US just has that as a complete non-licensed position or some wack shit) but it feels like for the user-end there ought to be a pretty big focus on just basic administrative competence and efficiency.
