Well now I'm conflicted as to what to think!

I don't trust anyone with The first name Vladimir and a last name ending in -"in"

u/billnyetherivalguy Apr 05 '22

russian leaders from 1900 onwards with last name ending in "in" has been brutal*

That’s the look of the beginning of generational hate. Lenin only thought in terms of his own power and personal gains, economic or otherwise and failed to see that the “justifiable” means he used to reach his end would doom his society across generations.

Lenin only thought in terms of his own power and personal gains

That's a massive overstatement. I'm not a fan of Lenin, but to argue that his actions were motivated entirely by personal ambition and not at all by his ideological socialist beliefs is hilariously stupid.

u/LookingForVheissu Apr 04 '22

Yeah, of the bunch of them he was actually the one who genuinely seemed to want better for his people.

u/Sensei124z Apr 04 '22

Because it’s a quote from Lenin, so it fits.

That's life.

I had a kid tell me Daft Punk was wrong for sampling Kanye West

Ignorance is an abundant commodity.

Lmao that's rich.

DJ Khalid of all people brought it full circle with his lazy, depressing sample of Maria Maria for that dumb Rhianna song.

If I hear one more kid tell me Carlos Santana ripped of DJ Khalid OF ALL PEOPLE I'm going to go to jail for assault and battery.

u/conjoby Apr 04 '22

Also "I've got a woman" my Ray Charles sampled by Kanye West. Oh and "I've got a woman" itself borrowed it's tune from "it must be Jesus" - The Southern Tones.

There are decades when nothing happens

When was the last time that happened?

2

u/BrightBeaver Apr 04 '22

I don’t think they literally mean “nothing”; just very little by comparison.

2

u/Quality-vs-Quantity Apr 04 '22

No i got that, but i feel like each decade since like 1ad has been eventful

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '22

Yes I would like one decade where nothing happens please.

u/mycroft2000 Apr 05 '22

Lenin only cared about Europe, and the century between 1815 (Waterloo) and 1914 (WWI) really was relatively quiet by European standards. The Crimean and Franco-Prussian Wars, and the Revolutions of 1848, are the only exceptions I can think of, and none of them were widespread or lasted very long. Compared to the nearly nonstop centuries of war before 1815, things really were pretty quiet in Europe.

and it's a curse

u/jamesh922 USA Apr 04 '22

Amazing quote, extremely powerful statement!

u/iKSv2 Apr 04 '22

True, my mind still thinks it's 2019 and I got married in 2021 but still my mind thinks it's 2019

u/BrightBeaver Apr 04 '22

2019 was fantastic compared to this new reality. I wish I had appreciated it more.

"Better to be a dog in times of tranquility than a human in times of chaos." - This is the Chinese proverb that was transformed by the West into "May you live in interesting times" curse.

Dayum, that's a good one.
