  • cool they literally ate the rich

    Regarding the motive for cannibalism, Ding Xueliang (丁学良), a professor at the University of British Columbia and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, pointed out that “this was not cannibalism because of economic difficulties, like during famine. It was not caused by economic reasons, it was caused by political events, political hatred, political ideologies, political rituals.”[7][22] Qin Hui also showed with statistics that the cannibalism was not due to the traditions of local ethnic minorities; he argued that the cannibalism was mainly due to: 1) the extreme class struggle during the Cultural Revolution, which led to a modern “caste” system (such as the Five Black Categories) and an extreme massacre towards the lower class from the upper class; 2) the revenge from the local officials and military towards the rebel group who challenged their interests.[23]










  • disagree. When the US had insane inflation around 2020 to i dunno, 2022? Russia had their inflation under control. Just became it’s going up now due to the prosperity of their economy or a bad harvest doesn’t mean that Russia is fucking up or whatever narrative the CIA is trying to spread.

    In particular, prices for oranges increased by 14.9%, lemons grew in price by 6.1%), price for potatoes went up 4.9%, onions and bananas grew in price by 4.4%), prices for cucumbers added 3.8%. Prices for apples and carrots decreased by 6.5%.

    heh, in the US they would just use a basket of goods and manipulate stats with hedonics, substitution, and weighting tricks to make it look like inflation is under control
