To me, 1st of May truly is the day when you SHOULD fear the specter of communism, that's wandering the planet. When those who work for their living should come out and remind the 'old money' people that, you, know, we're tough folks, can take a lot...but don't push your luck.

By hand or by brain. Working hard. 364 days of a year I am a small bisiness owner that just works hard. This day, this day we remember our class and that we are one.

I’m hated by the Russian opposition, phone conversations that you have while the phone is tapped are considered public and everyone’s on the edge about the counterattack.

Just read a perfect comparison: Westerners using the Soviet flag in their rights movements is the same as if I'd wave around a confederate army flag, using it as a symbol for my protest, when protesting a local Latvian rights issue, because "it was all about states rights!"

Saw this photo of trans-rights protest. Ughh...PLEASE westerners, STOP DOING THIS SHIT!

This...this is just garbage. It's modelled after the flag of the Latvian SSR, so it's DOUBLE offensive to me. Do you, folks, seriously want to associate with an oppressive, murderous, authoritarian regime?
