US was doing pretty well but these clowns have damaged US so much from inside and outside that KGB could have never even imagined.
Pretty much in every aspect from financial to soft power and everything in between.

- andsoitis 6mo ago> US was doing pretty well but these clowns have damaged US so much What are the metrics you use for evaluation? Are they economic? Are they subjective? Are they contingent?

- dzhiurgis 6mo agoNo way I'm going to that communist site. Soft power is what is - soft power. How about hard power?
- avidruntime 6mo agoWhy engage at all if you're going to engage like this?
- dzhiurgis 6mo agoWhy post links to sites that harbor communist symbols? It is illegal in much of the Europe.
- nz 6mo agoI hate to tell you this, but by saying things like this, you are not much better than the authoritarians/totalitarians you seem to despise. I do understand where the revulsion comes from, however. My own family, on my mother's side, during WW2, was reduced in size. Four out of every ten were liquidated by the occupying Nazis, and then two out of every ten (or one out of every three, if you adjust the denominator) were liquidated by the triumphant communists (to say nothing of battlefield deaths in-between, and the blanket dispossession that those left alive experienced). That said, I do think that ideas and ideologies should be evaluated on their own merits, and should not be reactively shunned, because of an atrocity that happened generations ago. The reality, is that good ideas get hijacked and used by opportunists to benefit themselves at the expense of their neighbors. By being so vehemently against an _idea_, you create new opportunities for these kinds of pathological opportunists -- you create an entirely new category of scapegoats, whose pleas and screams and tears you can ignore, while they get dragged away, and separated from their homes and their families and their friends. I'm not saying that you should cuddle up next to a communist, but I am saying that you should evaluate all people and communities in a nuanced and thoughtful way, befitting a member of _this_ community of absolute oddballs.

- steve1977 6mo ago> KGB could have never even imagined Well, maybe they did.
- ksaj 6mo agoNothing wrong with your points. The last line is rather passive aggressive over nothing. Thankfully not everyone feels so threatened by users on the site, 'cos reading this sort of disclaimer could get tedious real fast.
