Incorrect incarceration myths:
1. Profitable (as shown above, it's not)
2. Drug charges caused it (this claims that prisons are effective if drug war wasn't racist, but prison oppression pre-exists drug war by 2 decades, drug charges were *created* to restock prisons)
the name Ukraine is, potentially more realistically a pejorative since it means "Border" (with the Catholics to the West), but "Border" was an identity that the Cossacks allied with the Muscovite aristocracy actually liked. This is what's fascinating about revisionist Ukraine.
btw the "Little" in "Little Russia" (Ukraine) was name given by the Byzantines and moreso means "original" and the "Great" in "Great Russia" moreso meant "greater" as in "expanded Russian territory"
It's not a pejorative, it acknowledges that Ukraine is the origin of Russians
Kievan Rus was a state created by Danes ruling over tribes and peasants of mainly Slavic origin. It Christianized under the Orthodox church through a political marriage with a Byzantine princess. Modern Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia descend from the Muscovy "province" of the Rus
actually this is incorrect, it's more appropriate to say Moscow's dialect developed as sisters to Ukrainian and Belarussian, and more or less both languages developed two distinct dialects representing political closeness to either Poland or Moscow

The Moscow based dialect of Old East Slavic language became the prestige tongue of the empire, and replaced the other varieties, but itself diverged into what we know as Russian, Belarussian, Ruthenian, and Ukrainian languages. Ukrainian culture is not "the original" Kievan one.

Zelensky:
Ukraine is the heir to Kyivan Rus, a great state that was very well known in Europe.
Russia wasn't even close to existing. Russia came after Ukraine already existed.
But Putin cuts all that out and starts with the 1917 Revolution.
"Moscow didn't exist yet" yeah that tends to happen when a city is built by an empire from scratch. Such a fact is meaningless though, because Moscow is both a continuity of old Kiev and new Kiev is a continuity of Moscow. Muscovy recaptured Kiev from Polish-Lithuania in the 15th
@gina_scooter before Japan's industry expanded into other parts of Asia, they were facing severe "stagnation" because they were too efficient, meaning their products were increasingly losing value (value == labor hours), so less efficient, labor intensive production is more profitable
@gina_scooter they introduce millions of workers to exploit and footprint to industrialize (Japan does not have a lot of space for new factories in a way that doesn't disrupt Japan's class structure, i.e. taking agricultural land from landlords)

I hate this feeling when everyone ignores us and no help reaches us, as if we are just numbers.
We are starving... We have nothing to eat anymore.We need $50

@Forever_noir_@ConGayBot as for combat you can tell whoever worked on it never played another 3D shooter because all they had to do was add that movement to 3's combat and it would have been enough to overlook the rest of the garbage heap
