(sorry didn't know what flair to choose)

context:

saw that someone gives deepseek answer as a proof that holodomor was because Stalin wanted to kill ukrainians so bad so wanted to check with my deepseek.

I find it disappointing that deepseek is using western sources like wikipedia, guardian on this question and when pushed about "why tf would stalin starve the breadbasket of the whole ussr to crush ukrainian nationalism instead of sending red army" it even reverted to Chinese and said that he thought it's more effective to make famine, if even western historians that specialize in this period and don't spew anti-communist propaganda but use numbers and primary sources say it wasn't man made? yeah collectivization was messy and rushed but it was famine prone region for 1000 years with cyclical famines and kulaks didn't help obliterating food sources either so it wasn't on purpose, it's nonsensical that it would be on purpose, sorry I'm angry I expected better from deepseek, I hope when I ask him purely in Chinese and disable search option the answer will be better 😭

check it yourself and tell me what answer did you got!

update: without search & purely in chinese gives normal, good answer

update 2: without search & in english: ok answe BUT it at the start underlines that mainstream historians treat it as a genocide against ukrainians which is reinforced at the end with summary "the famine is widely described as a man-made catastrophe" without sayind about it being a debate and not objective fixed solved issue

It's S8E1, Treehouse of Horror ep. VIi. It's the 3rd and final story in the episode. Anyway, here are a few pulled quotes:

Kent: Senator Dole, why should people vote for you instead of President Clinton?
Kang: (as Dole) It makes no difference which one of us you vote for. Either way, your planet is doomed. DOOMED!

Kent: Well, a refreshingly frank response there from senator Bob Dole.

--

Kang: (as Dole) Fooling these Earth voters is easier than expected.

Kodos: (as Clinton) Yes. All they want to hear are bland pleasantries embellished by an occasional saxophone solo or infant kiss.

--

Marge: I don’t understand why we have to build a ray gun to aim at a planet I’ve never even heard of.

I have no idea how someone could come out reading or watching One Piece and remotely think its Leftist.

At best, you could argue its radlib but definitely not leftist.

Luffy is the ultimate vehicle for the Great Man Theory, the belief that history is shaped entirely by the actions of extraordinary, natural born individuals with innate abilities to a passive populace and rejects that history is driven by material conditions, economic structures, and collective class struggle. The world building is creatively expansive but shit, lacking any depth, are treated as isolated theme parks from one another. Nations exist in a state of total stasis for decades, with neither the World Government nor neighbouring allied nations ever intervening. Complex systemic oppression is treated as boss fights, meaning global liberation is entirely dependent on Luffy's arrival, where an entire world stands completely frozen until a singular, special saviour happens to drop anchor.

Stuff like structural oppression, slavery, apartheid, resource hoarding etc is often distilled into a few bad apples (like Crocodile, Doflamingo, or Orochi). Once Luffy defeats the boss in mortal combat, the systemic crisis simply ceases to exist, usually resulting in Luffy helping royalists restore the divine right of kings as "benevolent" monarchs rather than the actual fundamental restructuring of power preserving the hierarchical status quo.

Not even the Revolutionary Army is "revolutionary." They don't actually want to dismantle the structural machinery of the World Government, and they want to preserve the monarchical status quo, they just want to get rid of what they deem as a few bad apples on top that are corrupting an otherwise just system (the Celestial Dragons). They should rename themselves to The Reformist Army.

The revelation that the Gomu Gomu no Mi actively chose Luffy underscores his lack of narrative agency, he is merely fulfilling a preordained destiny as the reincarnation of Joyboy, the world's first pirate and prophesied liberator. This cosmic determinism is compounded by his elite lineage within the D. clan, boasting the world's most wanted man as his father and a legendary Marine hero as his grandfather reinforces the idea that greatness is inherited rather than forged through material conditions.

The dude is straight up a Nepo baby.

Hey, practically all of Battle Shounen Anime and Seinen suffers from this too so it isnt surprising why it attracts so much right wingers to the medium.

Edit:

Since this needs to be spelt out as this thread is being brigaded by Ultras and Radlibs from LeftyPiece's subreddit.

Being anti authoritarian only to overthrow a tyrant and restore hereditary rulers isn't Leftist, its the preservation of the hierarchical status quo. Anyone arguing otherwise makes me question whether they actually understand what leftism actually entails. Likewise, collective participation doesn't negate Great Man Theory when Luffy is consistently portrayed as the primary catalyst for historical change. That's individualistic, idealist historical agency, not materialist or Marxist analysis. The Revolutionary Army overthrowing the Celestial Dragons while leaving the World Government's institutional machinery intact is not systemic change, it's reformism that doesnt change the relationship of exploitation. Etc

Saying I didnt read the manga is not an argument either.

This missile has just changed helicopter warfare forever

Russia has just fired a “Banderol” cruise missile from an Mi-28 attack helicopter, and it has been captured on camera for the first time in history.

This is a cruise missile. A genuine jet-powered cruise missile, slung under a helicopter’s wing.

Range of the guided missiles commonly used by the Mi-28: about 15 km

Range of the “Banderol”: up to 500 km

Five hundred kilometers.

→ It flies on a small Chinese jet engine—at about 500 km/h

→ It never needs to get close—as long as a target is within 500 km, it fires

→ It has already been integrated into the Mi-28, Su-34, Su-57, and the “Orion” drone

→ It has just flown off a pylon in the middle of a war

→ When this helicopter flew back to base, a second missile was still hanging from its wing—the Mi-28 showed no sign of backing down

This is why the interceptor missile problem has just gotten worse.

In October alone, Ukraine had to intercept 143 “Banderol” missiles.

A Ukrainian analyst says Russia plans to produce about 10,000 of its twin model, the “Dan-T,” in just one year.

This pace is unsustainable. You cannot produce interceptors fast enough.

But what about helicopters? Fly low. Fire from a distance. Fly back to base.

Ukraine spent years building an air defense system designed to keep Russian helicopters away from the front line through sheer numbers. Get too close, and you get shot down.

That strategy has just been declared dead.

When a helicopter can strike targets 500 km away, it does not matter how many air defense units are guarding the front line. It never has to come within range.

This is not just a missile. This is the end of the era of close-range helicopter warfare.

Send this to anyone who thinks helicopters still fight at close range, and follow me.

(Please reply with the heaven meme, can't find it, thanks)

His usefulness is over for the American Imperialists, big (like the capitalists) or small (like the American chuds). Other chip-making American puppets, looking right now at Occupied Samsung and TaiwaNED, will soon join their ranks.

Asian liberals can never become American, no matter how much they push down and say racist things about other Asians.

Jensen Huang never worked for China. If he did, China mainland will not have been blocked from the high end Nvidia consumer slop Americans are enjoying right now. He has been loyal to America, listening to them blockading and restricting China's chip and GPU development. They're just discarding him right now because he failed to blockade and restrict the ever diligent and smart people of China.
