I don't think poverty in the US is caused by "sending money to other countries"

I think they put sunflower and watermelon there because those foods are part of a Ukrainian stereotype. Probably just tongue-in-cheek support for Ukraine, kinda like imagine a black activist putting "✊🍗➕🍉" in their bio.

He also wrote a book about how revolution was a Jewish plot and Bolsheviks were all Jews who wanted to destroy Russia and Russians, so I wouldn't give any credence to anything he wrote.

You are completely misinformed.

First of all "kulaks" were not working peasants who lived self-sufficiently off farming their land and raising their livestock, you are thinking of "serednyaks", the class below kulaks in the 4-tier rural class system of Imperial Russia. Kulaks were rural loan sharks and land owners who did not work but rather lived off extortionate interest rates from loans to "serednyaks" and from exploiting the labour of "bednyaks" (literally "the poor") and, mainly, the seasonal labour of "batraks" who were the class below "the poor" - many of them homeless, traveling from village to village and working quite literally for a bit of food and a place to sleep in the barn.

If you intend to keep talking publically about kulaks, do look into those classes, look up who batraks were and what kind of life they lead before the revolution, the mortality, the diseases, how many they were compared to the number of kulaks. Find out what dekulakisation brought not only for kulaks, but also for that huge number of serednyaks, bednyaks, and batraks they exploited. Find out what dekulakisation did to overall child mortality, child hight, life expectancy, and so on.

Second, kulaks were not murdered, they were eliminated as an economic class by removing the relataionship of exploitation. Their lands were taken and given to the people, and the ones who resisted were deported with their families.

lets fucking gooooo

You're from Yugoslavia of all places, you frequent a communist space, and you believe much of Eastern Europe is a Nazi hellhole because that's just how Eastern Europeans are, abnormal?

Who's normal? Yank leftists voting for a guy who bombed Yugoslavia cause "harm reduction"?

Dziękuję, mało mi żyłka nie pękła

A yank started the whole " why can't Ukraine just be normal" thing, I can tell cause only a yank would refer to his homeland simply as "our country" without feeling the need to clarify which fucking country.

Ok so then what about this?

Literally everything Eastern Europe has to do is to stop praising, supporting and building monuments for fucking nazis and be normal, really hard part for a lot of them.

Does that ring true to you or is there more to it than Eastern Europeans being abnormal?

Is being normal really "everything Eastern Europe has to do", or are there maybe some changes needed in the west for that normality to happen?

Sorry for the double reply but:

all Ukraine had to do was be normal.

it wasn't my intent to speak ill of the Ukrainian people,

Yeah it was, you just refuse to understand why your sincere opinion was deeply ignorant and offensive.

just the puppet government currently in charge

I just wish Zelensky would have the guts

Do you even know what a puppet is? Also, WHO'S FUCKING PUPPET?

Literally the only thing Ukraine needs to "be normal" is YANKS FUCKING OFF

How did it get there?

Who kept financing far right and nationalist movements, first amongst émigrés and then as soon as the iron curtain fell amongst soviet people?

Who made up all the anti-communist propaganda, turned natural disasters into genocides, financed "education" programs, "museums" like the occupation museum on Tbilisi, etc?

Who enforced neoliberal policies, shock therapy, etc?

Soviet people voted against dissolution of the USSR but comprador politicians ignored that, then Russian people were going to elect Zyuganov but US soft-couped him and stole the election for Yeltsin.

Who fucking financed Maidan and organised a coup? There's literally a recording of Nuland deciding which politician gets what position in Ukrainian govt.

Then Ukrainian people elected Zelensky to make a deal with Russia which he tried to do, what happened to that?

And then """"leftist"""" yanks will bumble around asking "why can't those Eastern Europeans just be normal like the rest of the world?

Fuck right off, all of you.

You're just repeating the same ignorant thing again and the rest of fucking yanks upvoting you like a bunch of clapping seals.

Ukrainian people elected Zelensky on the mandate of making a deal with Russia which he tried to do but you fucks blocked it repeatedly.

But you're so ignorant you'll just say "I don't know how this works and why Ukraine went along with it" so of course from your brain-dead perspective "all Ukraine had to do was to be normal".

Also fuck off with constantly repeating "our country" like I'm supposed to know where you're from, people outside Amerikkka fucking exist, exceptionalism pouring out your every sentence.
