great reply here:
it's not an empire by any definition. this is literally, and i mean this, literally nazism. you are online sharing the viewpoints of The NSDAP

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Even if you consider absolutely every part of the USSR not part of modern day Russia a former colony, that’s still an absolutely tiny fraction of the colonizing Spain, France, England, etc did.
I bet those goobers would ask if I’m talking about Star Trek if I asked them how the USSR was to blame for what the tzar did to the Circassians
Russia's colonialism in land amount is comparable to France/England. Anything East of the Urals was never Russia before the 1600s
of course all of this happened before the USSR and has nothing to do with it, the twitter guy is a moron
And it's also undebatable that Siberian Natives were treated better than American ones. Although you can also chalk this up to them having better weapons and disease resistance
Siberian Natives were hit pretty hard by smallpox, but they recovered, because Russian policy was "pay taxes and we'll fuck off", not "we'll kill you all and settle your land".
