Whatever son. It’s a free country, so go with whatever bullshit you want. The evidence backs up u/Blacklazor and not you, I love how you just can’t handle it.

The evidence you presented points to 6-7, not 20-30. I don't know how else to say it, you're just objectively wrong by a factor of 3-5 by your own source, and no amount of pretending otherwise will change that fact.

I would also like to point out the parts of his comments that you didn’t dispute or don’t have a probem with

See, this is the problem. Nowhere did I actually claim that the USSR was some kind of perfect utopia. You just assigned those positions to me because you decided I'm a "tankie" so I must believe that, instead of listening to what I actually say. Attacking me over claims I didn't make is the definition of a strawman.

Nope. If you would’ve actually done the research, you’d have seen that one is usually given a bed in a dormatory, then must get on a waiting list for a “piss poor commie block apartment.” The tiny apartment where a family of four is squeezed into 20sqm is after they waited multiple years. This is if they were lucky enough to get an apartment they didn’t have to share with multiple other families.

This, again, is not how it works. If you "actually did the research" then show me the evidence. You can't just allude vaguely to some claim you found somewhere, especially since the sources you've cited so far, a random Quora user and Russian state media you didn't realize was Russian state media, don't exactly fill me with confidence regarding your investigative standards.

It just blows my mind how hypocritical you can be, you found evidence that clearly proves you wrong and you keep projecting on to me that I won't change my mind in the light of evidence that I'm right.

6-7 is less than 20-30. That's really all that needs to be said. You just can't accept that basic mathematical fact because you're an ideologue.

No, I think you refuse to do the research on this subject because you're the actual ideologue here. You have an emotional stake in somehow proving that the USSR wasn't a totalitarian inept impoverished wasteland, and actually learning what life was like under that system would destroy your worldview.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'm the only one of us capable of acknowledging that 7 is a smaller number than 20. If understanding elementary school level math makes me an ideologue, a tankie, whatever else, then so be it. Nothing you say changes those numbers.

What's more important, what you want to believe or what really happened?
Read up on the subject please.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Tell me, was "what really happened" 6-7 years or 20-30 years? Can you answer that one question?

You're the one rejecting the evidence in favor of what you want to believe.

[–] Hawanja@lemmy.world -2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It was more than 10 years for most people, and up to 20 years or more.
Which you would've known if you'd bothered to do the reading.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 2 points 15 hours ago

Wrong. Your own source said 6-7 years, which you would know if you did the reading. Even then, and this may surprise you to learn, but 10 is also less than 20.

20-30 years is completely and utterly unsupported. It's a total ass pull. And you're trying to claim I'm an ideologue because I'm sticking to the facts instead of this made up bullshit that's contradicted by your own sources.
