I don’t think I’ve seen even a single person on ml claim personal experience but instead deffer to data and other sources which is entirely valid in my opinion

You are keep implying that the vast majority of people lived better in the Russian Empire, and that praising the Russian Empire this way is somehow not edgy.

When you can’t attack the message, simply attack the messenger.

Of course, this will raise questions later about why a bunch of edgy teenagers are better at predicting the course of world events than you.
