Death? What you all know about death?

Yes it is a dramatization. I expect there to be a good few scenes that are wholly invented. What it got correct is important, it conveys the attitudes, cultural and political climate of the Soviet Union. You want to know *exactly* how each minute/second took place? Read a book or watch a documentary. On the whole the TV mini series was broadly accurate with some characters being the combination of many and the inclusion of what is more likely urban legend.
This being the case, what is your specific gripe if you are as you claim not simply defending the Soviet Union?
English
@ssgtbarnesbot @soberdamar @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr The series is based on some tapes made by legasov and a very large amount of the scenes are 100% invented.
Also the legasov suicide was totally unrelated to chernobyl he was chronically suicidal and he states the motive

Bf making me watch Chernobyl after I made him watch Love Island
English
@Tnho6000 @soberdamar @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr As my comment said, I noticed that you stopped there. Where in Chernobyl was the lie? The Soviets so horribly mismanaged the entire affair, and were unable to cover it up, to the point that it eventually contributed significantly to the downfall of the entire Soviet Union.
English
@ssgtbarnesbot @soberdamar @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr Bro im not a communist or ussr fan at all, you're fighting windmills.
I just hate tv shows that lie
English
@Tnho6000 @soberdamar @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr I noticed you didn't have a reply for me suddenly when I brought up the potential evils of the USSR. Do you acknowledge that there were downsides to it? There were certainly upsides, reduced crime, quality education, etc.
English
@soberdamar @ssgtbarnesbot @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr Yea ur totally biased. Im just attacking the TV show for being filled with lies and all you assholes come in to defend it for no reason other than your unrelated hatred of the ussr
English
@Tnho6000 @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr So when you cannot find a flaw in the argument, you simply try to dismiss it. If anything Chernobyl was too kind to the Soviet regime. How many people do you believe were executed by the Soviet regime?
English
@ssgtbarnesbot @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr Whole lot of yapping. Lets just get down to it, is the chernobyl series anti soviet propaganda or not?
English
So you still believe that Fukushima was caused by incompetence? I think in the circumstances they operated swiftly and competently to mitigate as much damage as possible and rebuild. I did not claim that Chernobyl was due to bad design, you have invented that (ironically what you accusing me of).
Fukushima was caused by an earthquake that the reactors were not designed to withstand without damage, but designed to not cause a large scale meltdown that would irradiate an entire city for 50 years.
The fact that Chernobyl was not designed to destroy a city is irrelevant. Incompetent managers and Soviet style incredulity at the possibility of error is what caused Chernobyl to go from a small hiccup and probably containable mishap, into an unmitigated disaster that directly helped to bring down the entire USSR.
English
@ssgtbarnesbot @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr crazy how this is how it started, just admit you hate the USSR no need to invent BS.
Also ironically the TV show (written by legasov the designer btw) claims that it wasn't the designers fault but everyone else.
English
It was designed to withstand around 450 Gal, when 560 Gal was detected the emergency system shut the reactors down, which is quite a feat in itself. There have been precisely 5 earthquakes coming in at a 9.0 or higher since 1952, none between 1907 and 1952. So while not entirely unexpected it was an outlier.
English
@ssgtbarnesbot @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr So they designed something that wasn't sufficient for it's environment? that's called a bad design bro
English
@Tnho6000 @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr The reactor was built by highly trained specialised Japanese engineers. The Japanese are some of the world's finest engineers. The reactor was designed to withstand unthinkably destructive earthquakes. It took a 9.0M earthquake to cause damage.
English
@ssgtbarnesbot @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr Yeah who wouldve thought japan of all countries would be hit by an earthquake
You're right that was totally unforeseeable
English
@Tnho6000 @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr Fukushima was not due to incompetence but rather an earthquake.
English
English
English
@Tnho6000 @ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr How many other countries have had a nuclear reactor melt down due to incompetence?
English
@ChadReal4183 @MiddleearthMixr yeah just because you don't like the USSR doesn't mean that every single bad thing said about them is correct.

Even putting merit or success based arguments aside, isn’t Lewis happy that the first trillionaire is an African American?
English
Person 1 sees someone flourish and says… good for him. I’d like to succeed like that and see others do so too. His taxes will pay for a lot.
Person 2 sees someone flourish and says… why does he have that and I haven’t? It’s bad. Take it from him.
Which do you wish to be?

Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.
English
Actually he was made by tricking boomers who own all the wealth into believing Star Trek is real
RAH-66 COMANCHE@rah_66_comanche
I am filled with optimism at the fact that the world's first trillionaire was made not by hedge funds or market manipulation, but by building the infrastructure to take America to the stars.
English
@commontruth_ @TaraIsabel_7 All these people, so upset that someone has more. Most of them are posting on their very expensive mobile device from their first world country. They themselves have more than 50% of the world. If they so strongly believe in a "fair" world then they would simply give it all away.
English
@TaraIsabel_7 Hate to break it to you but the world is not fair, it never was and it never will be.

Evan's strength is his brevity. In a few words he can say something that requires many words to dispel.

This is economic toddler logic. Even if you could magically convert Elon’s entire $1.1T paper net worth into cash without crashing the value of his companies, it would fund U.S. healthcare spending for about 76 days. It would fund federal healthcare support for about 6 months. It would fund the entire federal government for less than 2 months. The government already spends trillions on healthcare. If Elon’s wealth would magically solve it, why hasn’t their money? So the “one rich guy exists, therefore healthcare crisis” argument is financial illiteracy compressed into one emotional sentence. It's appealing if you don’t understand how wealth, resources, or value creation work.
English
@commontruth_ @OliDugmore In answer to the last question, it seems for most to be a question of ability and willpower.
English
Why? Should Tesla and SpaceX not exist? What about all the jobs they provide? What about the tax their workers pay? What about the rockets and cars they produce?
Why shouldn't any of that exist?
Why do you feel entitled to profit from the work of others?
What's stopping you from doing what Musk did?
English
If it even needed saying, trillionaires shouldn’t exist

A few weeks ago, a judge in Britain let a bunch of Gypsies walk free after they were found guilty of two separate gang rapes.

@commontruth_ @gingerrtom What comes next has been described in detail and is written in history. These people are about to find out that history has a habit of repeating itself.

@gingerrtom You think these people are still concerned with law? This is what it looks like when people give up on the political process.

🚨NEW: Large crowds of masked individuals have taken to the streets of Belfast this evening following the attempted beheading of a man
English
The government probably thinks this will stop radicalization but it will actually encourage people to make irl organizations outside the all seeing eye of the state. Ironically this will be a good thing and help save Britain.

What you need to know about the new Social Media Ban in the UK: 1. All persons under 16 are prohibited from accessing social media platforms without verified parental supervision. 2. Parental supervision must be logged digitally through the UK. gov app. 3. Parents must approve each post, comment, like, or share in real-time. 4. Failure to supervise constitutes negligent digital guardianship. 5. Penalties for negligent digital guardianship include fines up to £10,000 and potential removal of devices from the household. 6. Educational use is not exempt. 7. Mental health considerations are not exempt. 8. Checking the weather on a browser that could access social media counts as attempted access. 9. Screenshots of banned platforms are treated as contraband. 10. Discussing banned platforms in school counts as conspiracy to access. 11. Parents who express disagreement with these rules online will have their supervision privileges revoked. 12. Any family member can report violations anonymously (encouraged). Compliance is mandatory. Britain is safer for it.

The UK government spyware demand means that the government decides exactly what should be censored on every mobile device. They say they will start with nude pictures (if you don’t identify yourself as an adult). But it could at any time be expanded to anything the government disapproves of. Today, 30 people are arrested every day in the United Kingdom for writing something online that the government classifies as "grossly offensive". It is obvious that they will use this tool to restrict free speech.
Currently, there appears to be no requirement to report findings outside the device. However, with both legal and technological decision-making power taken away from individuals and transferred to the government, that is only a pen stroke away.
This means that the government could also use this system for total mass surveillance.
And they can do so in secret.
The government recently, in secret, tried to pressure Apple (which is now agreeing to client-side scanning) to build backdoors into its end-to-end encrypted cloud service. They can do this under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, also known as the "Snoopers' Charter" – a law that makes it illegal for tech companies to disclose secret demands from the government.
