The Rasputin story is intrinsically tied to the Anastasia story and both are based of off revolutionary narratives following the Russian civil war.

Edit: Meant to say that because the Russian revolution was so propagandized, most of the info people believe about it is bullshit.
Isn’t the fact that businesses won’t hire convicts a tacit acknowledgement by our government that our prison system doesn’t work? Like shouldn’t we have convicts that we’d be proud to employ after prison if prisons actually helped people? Wouldn’t the government protect prisoners as a discriminated against class of it believe that it’s rehabilitation efforts were effective?
I know they don’t but that’s always the argument.
Lol quite the Freudian slip.
It’s only insane if you don’t understand fascism. “Deport all the immigrants” = ethnically cleanse America.
Wild to consider the country with the largest highspeed rail network on earth “developing.”
Hmm rotating shift work… Was this at prototype, by chance?
Why would he start there when he makes so much money off of defense contracts through SpaceX?
“Yes, the USSR performed atrocities, but the fact that the west has as well excuses that.”
It’s not like those are the only two instances of human rights violations by the USSR, and they’re infamous for lying about numbers.
Misery is not s competition. You don’t have to pick sides. There can be more than one violent authoritarian regime in the world, they can all be bad, and you can oppose all of them. There’s really no reason to defend any imperial powers.
Gonna make lots of Philly people angry.
What a fantastic opportunity for me to rant:
This is how literally everything is. The individualistic urge to celebrate specific people has always escaped me because like, nobody does great things alone. There always teams of engineers, interns, students, personal support networks, and an endless slue of people you can credit discovery with depending on how mercurial you want to be. The only thing that highlighting individuals does is create negative side effects. People who try to go it alone and fail start to believe they failed because of personal inadequacy rather than a lack of support and resources. Celebrated individuals loose sight of the contributions of those around them and become overly invested in their own intellectualism. Uncelebrated individuals doing important work become discouraged and may change fields.
Awards have even been specifically created with the expressed purpose of dividing groups. Famously, the Oscars were created to create a sense of elitism amongst actors and separate them from the other industries that worked in film. This resulted in film industry unions loosing their most effective spokes people.
Anyways that’s why individualism is a plague. You’re individuality is important, but no discovery was made without the efforts of countless colleagues and predecessors. Nobody does anything in a vacuum.
And don’t even get me started on the biology of community. We’re built to work together.
You can travel without spending a lot of money, people call it backpacking.
Noooooo I want the empire that hides all the bad things they do so I don’t have to think about it while I drive my SUV and buy Starbucks!!! /s
The good news is in party fighting is s good sign that they won’t be able to consolidate power as quickly or completely as they wanted to. The bad news is, they now know who to come for on the night of long knives.
Protesters: “Stop genocide, give us equitable pay, give women rights”
This guy: “Those people are insane depraved fascists”
Lol grow up you fragile vase of a person.
Yeah but have you considered that redundancy costs money that could be going to shareholders?
