Ok let's try to revisit it again. Of all the countries that freed themselves of a Soviet dictatorship literally zero want back, or are building 'socialist' economies. How about taking their experience as a measure?

Full disclosure, I'm living in a Western social democratic nation and am horrified by the capitalist and/or neoliberal ideologies. I am of a strong belief that neither of opposite ends of political philosophies bring good and prosperity for ordinary people.

Large majority of Russians also want Ukrainians dead in a most fascinating ways. Weak argument.

Large, overwhelming majorities of Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Latvians (hope it's a word), Moldovans, Estonians, Poles don't want to let USSR come closer than a shot distance.

Do you guys realize the world is larger than the memeverse and there are real people who lived under "socialist" governments?

Jesus H. Christ, all you need my dear is a holiday in Cambodia.

I quit Facebook for good, almost quit Reddit and am enjoying reading more books and exploring fediverse a bit.

Also protectively try to get less and less screen time, using the morning time which usually was lost to doomscrolling to do zazen.

What if these are primary places where user generated content lives now? Independent blogs are as good as dead, and social networks are walled gardens, sometimes populated by self regurgitating robots.
