    Learned from growing up in a communist dictatorship: don’t discuss politics and religion with strangers. And even with friends or acquaintances, don’t discuss it in writing. It doesn’t mean you can’t have strong opinions, but don’t make them public. Talking (not writing) one-to-one or in small groups eventually toppled almost all communist dictatotships, so there’s absolutely no need to broadcast your opinions, unless your goal is to be martyred.

        Well, there is no such thing as communism with a dictator. It’s simply two opposites.

        Communism is without a state. Meaning no true communist country have ever existed in modern time.

            I got shocked the other day stepping on live wires… I now have a degree in Electrical Engineering. (Actually Not: My experience is not the same as expertise)

              they didn’t say they were wrong, just an asshole.

              it’s like someone died to a live wire and you correct their family that it was the amps not the voltage that killed them. you’re not wrong, but you’re a tone deaf dickhead.

            They are arguing the definitions with someone who was “arguing” with someone who lived through the reality
