I think you may be thinking of a different scandal; this one’s victim was a girl named Cindy.
Yes, I'm aware. Can I help you with anything else?
Oh, I’m aware that the army for some fuckin reason decided to let it slide. I’m saying that THAT, you can get mad at (or at the federal prosecutors in VA who aren’t working on a grand jury right now). Not the totally powerless person who has no ability to do anything but invite retribution to herself and her family.
Yeah, you’re right. It looks like there’s a consensus now that the population in the Gulag was way lower than I thought. Fair play. There’s also a chart year by year, in the “history” section, which I missed.
If it was 2.4 million in 1953, out of total population of 179 million, that’s 1,340 in detention per 100k. The modern US is only 40% as bad as the literal Gulag at its peak. Fuckin hooray.
When they start coming out with shit like "flip flopper" and it starts getting repeated from a few different quarters as a consistent attack
That's when you know they don't have all that much to work with and they're just making shit up that sounds bad
Am I going to be on a list now
Not covered in this story: The church leadership says hey he told us about it but we thought it was with a “young lady” and whatevs it was all cool, we’re as shocked as you are it is horrible
The victim says what the fuck I have been telling them about it FOR YEARS NOW
Time for today’s fun game!
“Is it Georgia the repressive country or Georgia the aspiringly-repressive US state” has been replaced by “Is it Colombia the sometimes unstable and badly governed country or Columbia the sometimes unstable and always badly governed US university”
Yeah; that’s probably why there is such a lack of data. The period for which there are estimates vary by a factor of 20 between low and high estimates. 🙁
Ah, got it. I was talking about USSR, not modern Russia. Modern Russia is its own thing and its own brand of horror but not the same as OG Communist USSR which was more what I was trying to highlight.

Dude why on earth would you
Every time I visit Twitter I feel a strong desire to watch the video or whatever I came for and get the fuck out of there.
It is impossible to look over someone’s profile; as far as I can tell I get it sorted in “random bullshit from 2018” order and there is no way to change it
It had weird pop ups that mean nothing. Sign up with Google! Sign up with Apple! Once you join X, you can respond which means you’re allowed to read the comments! Here is someone who thinks Covid isn’t real!
It feels like going to some kind of sketchy site to download the pirated software I am looking for and get the fuck out before something happens to my computer
