I was about 10 when the USSR has collapsed and have lived in the use for over 30 years yet I still see in my parents and even myself the remnants of dehumanizing ridiculousness that existed there. Eg my dad is instinctively terrified of dealing with anyone from the government even like the mailman because that person can wield their position against you even though that's not the case here at all.
Or for example I had to point out to my dad that his neighbor open carries. Like my dad is intellectually aware of the 2nd amendment but it didn't fit in his brain that people could actually exercise a freedom so his eyes were literally blind to it (obviously I drove him to the gun shop that evening)

- simlevesque 1y agoYeah to non-americans this sentence sounds so weird.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoI'm an American, and it sounds wild to me. I still don't understand it.
- agumonkey 1y agoHe might have meant it humorously too. You don't know about gun laws at all, so next stop is the gun store.

- pavel_lishin 1y agoNo, I was confused as to what you're saying. I don't understand the point of your anecdote. Is your concern that it was improbable for that many black people to work at a hospital in an area where mostly non-black people live?
- AlexeyBelov 1y agoDon't bother, it's a 45-day-old account made just to troll.
- LtWorf 1y agoNothing he's complaining there were too many black people working in the hospital. I presume doing the less paid jobs.
- pavel_lishin 1y ago> At work only woke propaganda is allowed, woke training (brainwashing) is mandatory. Is the woke propaganda in the room with us right now?
