Political memes are not just leisure, they do have the potential to reinforce people’s views.

So, if you do want to share a political perspective, better not be too “unserious” about it.

Or get your own Putin and have him raze the world to the ground?

Huh?

Ignoring ADHD is bad, I’m only talking about why people without it are sometimes inclined to behave this way and what could be done to break their arguments.

Nazis were not; despite taking the name of national-socialists, they only used socialism as a buzzword while acting in full interest of national bourgeoisie, feeding German businesses and promoting Germans over everyone. In fact, Nazism is reactionary in its nature and strongly opposed to any left-wing ideas.

Stalinists were left-wing, yes.

It seemingly follows the Adwaita theme popularized by Gnome and widely accepted in the Linux community.

For me it’s a nice layout and I certainly get some enjoyment out of it being uniform with the interfaces I like on my computer.

Already establishing? What does that even mean, lol

Stalin also didn’t promote national capital - aside from the fact the word “capital” does not reflect quite the same thing in the context of socialism, the policy of “socialism in a separate country” is nothing more than a reaction to the failure of world revolution. He continued international partnerships with socialist countries and participated in The Communist International.

Soviet Union did not genocide Jews and was not tied to Holocaust. The alliance with Nazis only held through the first stage of WWII as long as it was seen more as a contained European issue. It is true, however, that Soviet Union participated in occupation of Poland.

I don’t think this question in itself will attract enough people to be worth posting, which is why I put it here under a related post.

There’s no attempt to hijack anything, I must assure you

The oil prices boomed around WW2, while the highest wave of economic growth in the Soviet Union was in the 30’s.

It is Khrushchev and following leaders that benefitted from oil

Hitler took an already established economy and rearranged it towards national capital while killing Jews en masse and initiating a World War.

Not quite comparable.

Stalin is a conflicting historical figure, who is neither a monster nor a savior, and so the way you describe him would differ depending on the angle of the conversation.

If the talking point is the rights of the LGBT+ people (or, really, people’s rights overall sometimes), there’s no excuse for him there, and I’m pretty sure Hexbear is not quite the place for a homophobic rhetoric.

But they may point out in other terms that under Stalin’s rule the economy got insanely boosted, the WW2 was won, and many megaprojects used to this day were constructed.

As in economic equality and support for disadvantaged groups?

I’ll begin to get a conversation going

Note: ADHD is very real and very hard on people who have it.

I know two people with diagnosed ADHD, and as with many disorders, it is common that people expect others without it to be completely lacking, or, this case, have only mild experiences of a similar kind.

Regular people absolutely get most of the common experiences of an ADHD individual: they can quickly get overwhelmed, struggle with motivation to do some basic everyday things and then get hyperfocused on something and forget the rest completely, can have impulses they don’t control. They, too, manage to develop a lot of tricks for maintaining motivation and going through the everyday issues.

What matters for diagnosis is the severity of these events and how often they occur. With ADHD, all those events happen so often that it gets impossible or strikingly hard to pursue what you need without using techniques/medication to manage your behavior.

This is why many regular people may not understand or not accept ADHD as something valid and why it may not help to list to them the kind of limitations you have - they have all the same experiences, it’s just that they are less common and severe, and so they manage to force through them while you may get overwhelmed.

A more helpful approach could probably be to come from the fact it’s a real diagnosis, and outlining just what it means exactly to have ADHD, to talk about the severity of the episodes and how they are not only experienced by you personally, but also described in the medical literature. This still probably won’t change the mind of some bigots, but it might help other people to understand it better.

Hope there is some insight in here.

A reverse question is actually quite interesting as well:

People without ADHD, but who know others with ADHD: what are the common misconceptions about “being normal”?

They are not, but sometimes their actions can result in outcomes beneficial to right wing.

Tankies are factually left-wing. Their actions, however, sometimes play into the deck of right-wingers when they try to fuck around with the system.

Oh, thanks!

Most relevant quote:

Wilkinson, who is speculated to be a contender to succeed Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister, highlighted Canada’s critical role as a supplier of resources the U.S. lacks feasible alternatives for, including oil, uranium, potash and critical minerals.

Looks cute enough!

In normal meaning, it is a set of water-soluble potassium salts, particularly potassium carbonate. It has numerous uses, in regards to presidents - it can be turned into gunpowder.

Polycrystalline potash can have orange-brown color, too, which can be linked to the color of Trump’s skin, which in turn was subject to some memes.

Seriously, artists can make anything cute

What are all those potash memes about? I’m out of the loop
