My only gripe with your post is this

Today, the working class of the imperialist countries, what we may refer to as metropolitan labour,

I’m sorry, we have so many people in the capitals that are homeless or generally at a verge despite working. How are they labour aristocracy?

In Poland we have this old joke, where the reveal is that German language is barbed wire.

Don’t remember the joke though ;)

Both are bad. I guess that makes me a mayocentrist.

I think you still didn’t understood me correctly. I’m not against calling people what they ask me to call them, I’m against the idea that I should be proactively gathering that information.

I don’t think I follow?

I am not banned nor downvoted for telling people when they romanticize USSR or how USSR fucked my country.

I think I got banned from some trans group for calling their arrogance that I should care about every Dick and Harry enough to ask them about their pronouns.

I don’t give a fuck, will call you whatever you look like, and if it’s neither you’re gonna be called petal.

I have no clue where do you find the people you write about. Also, like most lemmy users I picked this instance at random.

It’s not Polish, just letters mashed in. You can tell by how utterly unpronounceable that made up word is.

You can’t have j (pronounced as y in yoga) letter after cz (pronounced like ch in check), it would evolve into i (pronounced like e in e).

Do you know the names of everyone you interact with? Every grocer, barman, stranger?

Removed by mod

Most everyone have already been using they/them for quite some time.

For singular when speaking about someone who is cis? I think you might be in a bubble.

Thanks for the tip!

Your tone is unexpected, did I offend you somehow? How?

Is it server side or can I remove it for myself? I am not a garden flower, words don’t offend me.

Why do I see your post as

Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t say removed.

?

I am surprised that you read my post as against building state owned apartment complex, but then why would I expect anything from somone on the internet.

komunalka

also, I’m not talking about them. They were a thing in the 50’s (after the war) when people were sharing bathrooms or kitchens, they were no longer really a thing in the 80’s. In the 80’s apartments had their own bathrooms and kitchens.

edit: isn’t that basically “Friends” for USA people? :D

Also, you create a false dichotomy here suggesting that if free housing was built the way USSR did it today then it would have to be built to the 1950s standard.

I was describing buildings from the `80.

Obviously there’s absolutely no reason why you couldn’t be building modern style apartments.

… so the ones I described as “so many cons that I’m too sad to talk about them and we have a separate wiki page to describe how awful they can get”?

France in 1800.

I live in Poland. We have both of them.

1. Soviet-era apartment buildings

PROs:

• everything within a walking distance (shops, schools, a clinic, etc)
• a lot of parks nearby
• fucking wind corridors
• you can’t piss from your window to your neighbors coffe cup
• you will see some greenery from your window

CONs:

• tiny
• very low ceilings - you most likely won’t be stretch your arm upwards.
• very bad acoustic - you can hear downstairs cutting green onions
• a lot of apartments on a floor (and very tiny lifts)

2. Modern buildings:

PROs:

• high ceilings
• you can piss from your window on your neighbor’s bed if you’re into it.

CONs:

• … we have a whole wikipedia page about it: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patodeweloperka
• I honestly don’t want to talk about it, it’s so sad. Generally speaking, bad quality (but deceptively good looking) places that cost too much, in a shitty neighborhood.
• no wind corridors so say hello to air pollution

Now, I know this sub tends to romanticize USSR, but during occupation (so until 1990) it wasn’t that you had an apartment for yourself for every single person. If we just want to consider recent history (like 1980) then:

• your apartment wasn’t yours - it was tied to your job. Like US healthcare. If you lost the job, you would lose the apartment. They were also limited to at most 1 per family.
• If you wanted to move to a different city to get a job there, then it could be impossible if the company didn’t have free apartments there. Often it didn’t. There was an semi-official apartment swapping market that often involved a chain of swaps in multiple cities.
• In practice you wouldn’t get a bigger apartment if you had children. You could try to swap for it. Most apartments were overcrowded and multigenerational AND small. It was common for a 3 generational family to live in a 3 room apartment (not “bedroom”, room).

Ooh, from your modlog history you’ve been banned from multiple places for glorifying Russian invasion on Ukraine.

Bye Felicia.
