those are the modern events I’m aware of. We were talking about the soviet opression.
Right. That’s also well documented. Go look at the sources.

yep, that’s more like it, my appreciations.
This was literally two seconds. Stop being intellectually lazy if you want to contribute to discussions about stuff like this.
You are being extremely disrespectful to people that care about this stuff when you are this lazy.
hey, no one can care about literally everything in this world. This might sound cruel and unempathetic of me, but i’ve got lots of personal problems i should resolve, before i could allow myself to care about such things at a less leisurely level.
And just like you respect the ones deceased and harmed by the past (which is genuinely admireable), I, out of my, for the lack of more descriptive words, apathy and cowardice, choose to respect more mondene kinds of people, those i’m not deliberately looking for, yet meet every day; by treating them as well and polite as i can, which includes an initiative for self-education. Topics for this purpose, of course, like any other human, i pick mainly by how much interest i have in them at the moment.
Any discussions of recent history always contain a minefield of sensitive topics, so i want to clarify that this thread here exists purely out of my curiosity and a momentary will to educate myself, not out of ill intent, and i feel dirty as he|l every time i participate in topics like that, feeling that i might’ve harmed someone by my impolite asking, but this is simply the method that works for me the best.
And while i understand why you act condescending, as i also hate when people behave lazyminded, i actually would much appreciate if the practice of “spoon-feeding the knowledge” would be more common amongst people, as it can help eliminate avoidable ignorance, and potentially spark the receiving end to deepen their knowledge later.
This is why i prefer smaller communities like lemmy, as, while bigger crowds tend to incapsulate in echo-chambers, smaller ones enforce the mild friction of opposing opinions. And yes, my feelings about the instances’ defederation system are bitter to say the least.
sorry for blabbering all this huge pile of text, i hope you have a great day.
If you don’t care, demanding other people educate you in super disrespectful.
i’ve said what i had and wanted to say, and why i feel the way i do, it’s your decision on what to think of it, but putting all i wrote into a phrase “not caring” is a very crude oversimplification.
You ask of me to stop acting lazy, yet you’re reluctant to merely read my comment yourself. I hope my writing skills aren’t actually that bad.
You said
So if I say uncaring it’s just true, not a simplification. It undercuts the rest of what you were saying.
and i’ve literally dedicated a paragraph on why i think that “spoon-feeding” must be, if a person is caring enough to ask, but not caring enough to research. I don’t care what you thik of me, but i really think the world would be a better place, if more people acted the way i proposed in that exact paragraph.
I honestly expected your judgement to be more rational and less emotional, especially considering how fast you swayed towards the edge of the latter, how valuable it is to pereive history in it’s original context, and how it’s practically impossible to be convincing while acting like you do. In other words, i’m bitterly disappointed in you, random person in my phone, i thought you were a heart of gold, but now you seem more like a guilt-tripped pretender.
it literally does not, and that’s exactly why i wrote as many effing words as i did, because i know that people are scared of such long blankets of texts, so i avoid writing them whenever possible.
And at this point i subconciously start to doubt your earlier theseses, simply because if i can’t trust your reding comprehention in a casual conversation, i can’t trust your reading comprehention in regards to scientific historical publications either, even though i know it’s a biased and probably unjustified way of thought. Well done.
