Me and my girlfriend pretty often have heated but respectful political discussions and recently we were discussing Stalin. She thinks that he was awful, mainly because of repressions, cult of personality etc.
When I say that repressions were actually good and Stalin didn't kill enough fuckers, she gets a little angry, but I can't seem to explain my position in great detail because of lack of knowledge.
In the case of the cult of personality, I say that Stalin WAS loved by the majority of soviet citizens because he did a shit ton of good for them, but she still doesn't quite get it.
What arguments would you suggest to use, or maybe something to read in order to deepen my knowledge on the topic?
Holy shit, I just realized that I joined you guys a year ago, and to be honest, that was probably the most sane year on the internet that I had. It's surreal to see people expressing the same ideals as me and having actual serious discussion about things, rather than being... you know... r*ddit. You are fucking awesome, don't stop being awesome, please. Love you all ❤️
Need your help!
Hi everyone, I want to make a video about the Israel-Palestine war because recently I found out that a lot of people in my University actively support Israel or don't know nearly enough about the conflict to come to any conclusions.
I want to include as many strong points as possible to really make it clear that Israel are not "the good guys", show how fucked up the thriving Zionism is in Israel and how it destructive nature led to recent events.
If you have any information that would create a strong narrative to (hopefully) change their minds, that would be wonderful. Of course I will do my own research, but I want to make sure that I don't miss anything important.
Thank you!

So, comrades, I learned that, apparently, lemmygrad is blocked from other pretty popular but liberal (liberals block others, lol) instances and I don't quite understand how that works.
I can't see posts that were made from other instances? I'm using Jerboa and have an account on lemmygrad and I can see posts from lemmy.ml, but, I guess, I can't view even non-political posts like memes from instances that blocked lemmygrad?
