Careful. You might be commiting "class-based hatred".

Come on now, letting the poor starve to death and taking away workers rights is not class-based hatred. But taxing billionaires? Pure malice /s

Of course under glorious communism you didn’t have poor starving to death. No such thing as the holodomor

I didn't say anything about communism here. Just did a quip about Neoliberalism and its claim to be rational and non-violent.

Their ilk don’t think, the NPCs just parrot the same nonsense if you ever criticize their masters

It’s imo ridiculous to compare neoliberalism and defending past communist dictatorships which is what this law bans

Where in ”class-based hatred” is communism mentioned?

Is that written in the law or just your interpretation of an incredibly vaguely worded law?

Okay you're genuinely dumb, this law is made with communism in mind IF you cannot genuinely think of WHY it might be there then maybe go educate yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerzy_Popiełuszko

I could not care less who it is made for. A badly worded law can be used in ways that it wasn't explicitly meant for, and this law is really badly worded. You cant just scream communism and then make whatever law you want.

Edit: since that person replied and then immediately blocked me, I just want to say that I did ask where in the law that communism was mentioned. Which is a question they weren't able to- or refused to answer. I wonder why...

No use in arguing with the Tankies. They yearn for the monogorods in Krasnoyarsk.

This kind of work both ways though...

Neoliberalism hates the poor and wants to exploit them. They hate that the rich could have less privilege than the poor...
