    What countries do you know about since you refuse to learn about anything you don’t already know?

    Because being hyperfocused on US in the 30s is kind of unique for ML.

    Do you know about Marx and Lenin? Or Stalin?

    I could do an example with them, although most of their horrible shit was fully intended

        Yeah man…

        Because it’s a giant thing most people know about…

        And you’re out here with deep cuts of 1930s American politics.

        It’s just odd, and keeps getting odder.

        If you are open to learning new things, you should check it out sometime. Not just to understand how it’s similar, it’s a pretty huge lesson about thinking things thru and the benefits to distributed power versus authoritarian rule.

        The extermination of sparrows – also known as the Eliminate Sparrows campaign (Chinese: 消灭麻雀运动; pinyin: xiāomiè máquè yùndòng) or the Smash Sparrows campaign[1] (Chinese: 打麻雀运动; pinyin: dǎ máquè yùndòng) – resulted in severe ecological imbalance, and was one of the causes of the Great Chinese Famine which lasted from 1959 to 1961, with an estimated death toll due to starvation ranging in the tens of millions (15 to 55 million).

        Especially being from .ml

        Like, I’m pretty sure they ban people for mentioning it there still.
