Not just your people, imagine being responsible for unleashing decades of unchecked capitalist hegemony on humanity with climate change looming on the horizon
We cannot emphasize this enough. The fall of the Soviet Union wasn’t simply a punch in the gut for socialism, but for any hope of the resistance of the Global Periphery.
The process literally involved handing a sizable chunk of the world’s nuclear arsenal over to the bourgeoisie
Hey now he only tried to sell them out for middling social democracy initialy :stalin-gun-1: :stalin-gun-2:
my first comment was jubilant but now I'm kind of sad we won't get any more incoherent "if only we had an alternative economic system :bawllin-sad: " tweets from him
No one knows because he was a moron unlike, say, Stalin.
It's cause we made that betting pool dammit, that caused the universe to power his life force more
Disclaimer: The Kissinger Death Tontine in no way endorses the incredibly cool crime of pushing an elderly war criminal down the stairs.
Describing anything as "the incredibly cool crime of-" is just fantastic
In reality it's the adrenochrome those gouhls are constantly sucking
When I recently played Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I was reminded of Kissinger
spoiler
In XC3 there are these beings which have basically achieved immortality by drawing life force out of humans waging wars. Because of that they are committed to keep the wold at constant war by pulling the stings in the back. For some reason this reminds me immensely of Kissinger
I mean, that's literally Raytheon, Northrup-Grumman, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, General Electric...
If the worst people on earth live the longest, that is strong evidence that we are actually in hell.

I only got frozen pizza but I'll join you. Actually, its probably closer to his preferred venue.:lenin-sure:
sleep
Decades of rest behind you. Wake up to post. See it's already been done. Decades of rest ahead of you.
If I worked at PizzaHut, I would try and get the flag at my store flown at half mast because it would be dumb
Disappointed in Hexbear that the title is not “Pizza Hut Spokesman Mikhail Gorbachev”
Guys this is not okay, he had a family ok? We shouldn't celebrate death, even of bad people.
Lol jk hope he rots in hell lmfao
Yeah this was a riff on a thread last week where a few people were very upset because a meme was posted about Dugin i don't really care.
I constantly go back and forth about how much blame to lay at the feet of Gorbachev, and how much on other broader forces. Like, not investing in cybernetics and computers in the 60s really hurt the USSR down the line (admittedly an easy position to take in hindsight, but still I think the planners had to have some idea that computers would eventually be the way to go). Sometimes I feel as late as 1986 the USSR could have been saved with a very dedicated effort, and if that's true I definitely put a lot of this all on Gorby.
The Soviet Union would've easily existed in the modern day if not for gorbys reforms. China was far late into the microprocessor party and they're making 7nm chips now. ___
he had a family
Whenever someone says this about a cop or someone equally evil dying, all I think is “well they’re better off without them” lol
he had a family
So did the millions of people who died because of the illegal dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Lenin gets so mad at Gorby in the after life that he wakes up in his tomb
Rest in Pizzahut, you could have saved the USSR gorby what a waste :deeper-sadness:
