Russia's first failure was being a Fascist state that relies on Nazis for their openly imperialist agenda.

Your biggest failure is being a fascist that doesn't even realize it.

Imagine liking a queerphobic dictatorship.

Side note: It's my firm opinion that Tankies aren't communists and you shouldn't conflate the two. Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society. Pro-USSR politics don't endorse that.

My point exactly. It's just a stand in for things they don't like.

I get the feeling that" pro-western imperialism" is a stand-in for any opinions that Leninists don't like.

I want to defederate from them. The overwhelming majority of interactions I've had with Hexbear users has been profoundly negative, and the user base's politics are, by-and-large chauvinistic and otherwise usually abhorrent. Weird shit like claiming that even trans-friendly spaces on most of lemmy are less trans-friendly than Hexbear.net. Furthermore, every comment out of the website I've seen on The War in Ukraine has been Russia-Sympathetic, which suggests that there's a strong pro-Russia sentiment running through the user base. I don't want anything to do with them.

Stalin Allied with the Nazis multiple times.

Why is irrelevant. Imagine if people argued over if a murderer killed someone because they felt like it or because they looked at them funny. See how pointless the question is? Do you understand how no sane person would argue about that?

This exactly. Intelligence being heritable does not imply that any one particular population is more intelligent on average than another.

“intelligence” is a pretty nebulous term to begin with

This is also accurate, but I'm glossing over that because it's late and that fact is only tangentially relevant to the question.

Intelligence has a genetic component. Every single test we have that attempts to measure intelligence that we've checked for heritability shows that intelligence likely has a generic component. Furthermore, we know that some species are more intelligent than others. Given the demonstrable existence of Darwinian evolution, this implies that some populations of a species are more or less intelligent than another because that's a requirement for a speciation event that results in a species that's more intelligent than its cousin species.

Anyone who says otherwise is likely allowing their ideology to cloud their judgement.

I realized this on the 6th. It's the first thing that crossed my mind when I knew what was happening. I'm not a legal scholar; I'm a mathematician, so I'm wondering how it took so long for this to happen.

Who's Hexbear?
