I did

I’ve got tweets from the 80s

Noooooooooooookoo

Rod for scale

Those guys

I’d like an update then

Great, discussion over.

That covers recent history. What about Egypt, or the Roman Empire?

You didn’t mean increase in quality of life for everyone in the world, just for the people under that government?

There’s a lot of candidates in “human history”.

I’m pretty sure there was no comparative research involved in your assessment, but you might look at Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_life but there’s no mention of China there at all.

Probably because Wikipedia is orientalist and just a Western megaphone. But you quoted them, so maybe not.

That’s a bold statement, what’s your source?

And you are impartial, saying someone you do not know has an “orientalist” bias. Throwing out pejorative words, linking to lengthy fringe arguments like a Trump supporter telling me to watch Hannity.

I see you’re defending your heroes by parsing words and cherry-picking books and news and rallying your arguments (and propaganda) to defend them. I expected nothing less from you; it’s exactly the same thing a Trump supporter would do.

Carry on, comrade. Enjoy yourself. You have the evangelistic fervor of a Baptist preacher.

I could find books that say the Nazis are great guys too. Doesn’t make it right.

Don’t forget, most of the countries in Europe bad also. Oh, and Japan very bad at times.

“Oops! I killed 15 million people, but it was an accident. My bad. Who knew forcibly moving all the farmers to the city and making them work in factories would cause a famine?”

-Mao, probably

PS: 15 million is the low end number. 15-55 million is the commonly accepted number, with some estimates as high as 70 million.

At some point you’d think he’d look around and notice.

Wasn’t the great leap forward by Mao the biggest mass murder in world history, according to historians not governments?

Doesn’t whitewashing that amount to Holocaust denial level cultural blindness?

I know nothing, quick Google search.

I know the mod erased it, but could you hint at the inappropriate post’s content?

My very own meme!

Exactly. A fail at all levels, but I kind of knew that. It was intended as something funny, but 'I speak cheese" is just weird.

BTW, when I explained they told me the word they use in Cuba to make a smile face. I’ve forgotten it.

Edit: I just remembered, it was Whiskey!

Ditto
