You think Palestine is the only Bi-partisan machine? You really need to open a history book. Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria and all the rest are all bi-partisan.

If you are saying this unironically you need to open a history book and look outside your bubble. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Haiti, former Yugoslavia, Sudan, Gaza, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, Somalia and many many more attacked and or destroyed under democrats.

It doesn’t solely mean crazy or deranged, it can also mean plain stupid. Take a crack at which I meant. Similarly that still doesn’t make it ableist bud.

Yes it does bud. You are a an albeist asshole and should be ashamed of yourself.

That’s absolutely your implication hence the word imply.

But it wasn’t it was a straw man not even in the same area of thought of anything I said.

It’s not, there’s natural science, social sciences and humanities.

I wish I could be as confident as you in just saying shit it really is a skill for the privileged.

Pot

See the difference between us is I have interacted with and contributed to the scientific community through my PhD and time as a researcher at a university whereas you given everything I’ve seen most likely didn’t make it past mandatory schooling. You reek of YouTube university educated stemlord.

Daft is usually a pejorative, it isn’t however ableist that’s just crybaby bullshit you’re using to try move the conversation into culture war bullshit instead of the actual conversation.

Calling someone crazy or deranged is absolutely ableist. The only one here trying to change the conversation is you.

You’re implying at some point without any evidence whatsoever that we could end up finding everything is objectively provable through what I can only assume is psychohistory which isn’t likely our at all reasonable to assume

Entirely not what I said, like completely not even in the same area of anything I said genuinely impressive strawman building.

I wonder what you call the field to which the sub fields you call social sciences might belong, it couldn’t possibly be called social science as an umbrella term?!?!?!

You are unintelligent, uninformed and massively arrogant. You clearly have never interacted with or contributed anything to the scientific community and it really shows. Please take some time to reflect instead of continuing to be a debatepervert.

Daft when used as a pejorative (a stand in for calling someone crazy or deranged) absolutely is.

Again simply because the field is yet to be completed doesn’t make it illegitimate. Physics has yet to be unified, math has yet to be completed yet they remain science. You are severely uninformed and again I implore you to do some self reflection and actually engage with the science and scientific community. You are not as intelligent as you think and clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

Wow abelism from a debatelord never seen that before. Apologies that my grammar isn’t perfect in my fourth language your majesty I’ll try do better in the future /s

The fact is you’re wrong and are simply trying to find anything you can to weasel out of facing that fact that the field of social science is real, it’s subfields are legitimate and you have nothing but vibes and misunderstandings behind your thought to try hold up some vague heir of superiority you feel.

First off you said social sciences were illegitimate also you have a very feeble grasp of what makes a field legitimate, we obviously have not found an encompassing theory for all society, but so what? The same is true fo physics, maths and so many other fields. You seem like a disgruntled stemlord and I would invite you to engage in some self reflection (and I understand in the west this may only be for the privileged few but) you should also try engage with these subfields a bit before denouncing the entire field.

Those are social sciences there isn’t however a social science.

That’s great but you said:

“there is no legitimate social sciences.”

Also this is nonsense like saying there is no physics because when it comes to study it’s broken into subfields.

As for the rest of your nonsense all science is, is:

A systematic method or body of knowledge in a given area.

Psychology is absolutely a science. As for history you’re probably right that in and of itself it is not a science but it is a core part of much of the rest of the social science fields, this however doesn’t do much to further your argument that the social sciences as a field are illegitimate.

Sorry I just think you dismissing anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, linguistics, psychology, sociology, political science and more as entirely illegitimate would likely be fixed by you having a background in them off which to speak instead of spewing nonsense.

there is no legitimate social sciences.

Stemlords should be forced to study social sciences.

Considering the conversation is about the USSR and not Russia (in its modern form) then everyone on this site likely has the same personal anecdotal experience of roughly 0 and is instead working off data and stories they’ve been told. (Apologies if any senior citizens happen to be lurking Lemmy I just don’t think it’s likely).

Again great strawman. You truly are an intellectual giant. The fact you refuse to (or most likely cannot actually) engage with what’s being said really demonstrates it.

Your initial comment was stupid.

“The USSR was way more progressive on racial equality, women’s rights, workplace rights, anticolonialism etc but also they weren’t perfect and thus can be equated with the west who were still actively engaging in colonialism, genocide, slavery, segregation etc” it’s ridiculous. The USSR was one of the most progressive forces of the time the fact the west had minimal progression at the same time does not make them comparable.

The USSR was more progressive than the west at the time, that doesn’t mean the west wasn’t progressive at all or the the USSR was the only one? Are you sure you can read?

Whene did anyone say anything like that?

Nice straw man. You are quite the debatepervert. I didn’t say anything other than point out you said something homophobic.

Almost like progressive for it’s time doesn’t mean progressivenand perfect for eternity ?!?!?! Please read what people are saying before responding.

Still homophobic to say shit like that asshole again go fuck yourself.

Jesus christ take the cock out of you’re mouth.

Nice homophobia bigot. Go fuck yourself.

Work camps

You mean prison. Work camp is nonsense used to demonise non western countries as barbaric (and often used in an attempt to evoke images of the nazi extermination machine even when they are not at all the same). Also what was progressive in the 40s 50s and 60s would be regressive by today’s standard yet that doesn’t mean it wasn’t progressive for the time.
