[@MrAlforable]

My great grandpa told my mom the story of the probably unluckiest guy in history. His name was Dmitri (complicated surname, didn't memorize it) who lived in a place near Moscow, born in 1897. He served in first world war when he was 17, at 1917 came back home to face the civil war. He survived the spanish flu, worked as army officer, almost got killed in Stalin's great purge. Survived Winter war, fought in Stalingrad, fought through the Soviet attack on Germany (got wounded at Seelow, shot in stomach), almost died from sepsa, survived it. And on top of it all in 1949 ended up in Gulag, after 10 years came back home and died peacefully. Talk about Chuck Norris, this guy is a fuckin hard-ass legend.

[@zharakov]

Now that's a true survivor, most of us feel to weak or "tired" going over our daily work and stuff but this guy was a true fighter who fought till the end..

[@MrAlforable]

Zharakov from my recent military experience and from guys who were in combat, alot of guys leave the military after they kill someone, get alot of ptsd... But this guy was like holy shit, imagine his PTSD levels, how much death did he see, and on top of all that, Stalin's regime sends him in Gulag, a respectful warrior. I'm determined to my duty too, but if I was him, I'd say like: nah man fuck this shit

Disagree, unless you mean that every modern generation should prepare to be CONVINCED/TOLD that what they’re going through is the worst. I think in current times, people are predispositioned to think that their struggle is the end-all-be-all. Of course, I’m generalizing, but there does seem to be a lack of perspective in younger/ish people today.

[@Junokaii]

Along with The Russian Revolution and subsequent interventions by countries in Western Europe (White Army/Britain/France/USA vs Red Army/Communists), atrocities done by Stalin, etc. Russia's been through a lot as a nation, even in the centuries prior such as being ruled by the Mongols. Russia has proven what it takes to be a nation and the striving of surviving as a nation.

[@andyhello23]

Remember it was the british who brought the idea, of the concentration camp to russians.

[@benbutton4193]

Russia was a disaster before the revolution. People were starving and dying by the millions while the Czars sat in a fucking castle with food. They were liberated and prosperous because of it. If it wasn't for the Soviets, Nazi Germany might still exist. They played the most crucial role in victory. The Gulag was for class traitors. It consisted of farmers that refused to help feed the nation. These farmers were price gouging and when told they must sell at reasonable prices, they refused, hid crops for themselves and burned the rest. Then of course, the bourgeoise was sent to gulag or killed because they were part of the exploitation that led to mass starvation and famine. People often look at the USSR without understanding the full picture and circumstances that lead towards the "horrific" events that is taught in the West. People don't have revolutions because everything is peachy. A big reason Capitalism is so successful is due largely in part to welfare. Keep the poor fed and housed and you keep them content with their mediocre existance. Take away their food, and see how long it takes before they start killing the rich. You ever notice they don't teach you the words of Communist leaders in school? They don't teach the revolutionary theory or the ideology of the Communist country, they only show you pictures of terrible things that was caused by even worse things. Everyone shits on Castro as well, but fail to see what Batista was doing that lead to his overthrow. For someone who is supposedly satan reborn,it is interesting that the entire country gathered in the masses and cried when his death was announced.

My great grandfather Albert was born in the southern US in 1898. He and his best friend were both drafted in 1917, and saw most violence in 1918. He drove over a German land mine in the Argonne forest, and it blew up his ambulance, throwing his friend out the window. His friend's body was not returned for months. Then, his brother was caught in a trench when a chlorine gas attack flooded it all, and he and everyone else coughed their lungs out and died. My great grandpa survived, and married my great grandma in 1921. She lived until I was 5 years old, dying at 101 years old. 1903-2004 is a hell of a lifespan

Pffft...... Oh please, coronavirus with no WW3 at all and just a few puny wars against drugs or terrorism combined are *insanely soft* compared to the Spanish flu, great depression, WW1, Dark ages of the medieval era, Mongol wars, Colonial Imperialism, WW2, Communist and Nazi genocides. The reason why people this days thinks 2020 is the worst time in history is because of overexaggerating, whiney, paranoid, entitled, special little snowflakes in the internet complaining that the world is gonna end because of them being salty over their car getting a scratch or that they just lost their WiFi. It's funny how morons and doomers this days screeches out hard in the air to everybody around them that they have the most miserable lives in the world when they haven't even experienced a fraction of what we call """"suffering"""" in life. I'm also no Boomer as I am just a young teenager but I have the guts to say this to the world because I'm tired of cringe-filled bullcrap like this.

[@Arterexius]

@@sherrailo3394 The main problem with those "few punny wars" you mention, is that the vast majority of the western world has taken part in them and most participants have lost soldiers in those "few punny wars". This effectively means that a large percentage of the world has gone to war again, effectively making a world war. A world war isn't classified by level of destruction (if it were, we'd have far more than just two world wars). They're classified by how many nations take part in that war. Most of Europe have assisted the US in the war against terrorism and most European nations have lost innocent citizens in terror attacks, effectively bringing the war away from the primary battlefield of the Middle East and onto multiple territories across the world. Just like both world wars. Now things are finally starting to cool down and boom! A flu pandemic of the exact same family that the Spanish Flu belongs to - the corona family. Your anger over snowflakes blinds you from the actual facts. And no, I don't think the world is ending. Nor do I think we're doomed in any way. We're just carving a lot more work out right now than what's necessary. And the lockdowns due to the Covid-19 are causing a real threat of Wallstreet crashing again. Take the worlds largest cinema firm. They're losing $145,750,000 every single day. All because they're forced to keep their cinemas closed. Multiple business have already gone bankrupt and it's not likely to end anytime soon, as most nations still stay either totally locked down over the summer or only allows 10 or less people to meet up, making it impossible to run tourist business. Is the prequel to this insanely soft compared to past events? yes, but that doesn't mean it's gonna stay that way. There is a very real danger that once we do get out on the other side of this, then all care for the climate will be temporarily thrown out the window. Which is going to accelerate global warming and put an end to more than 90% of all life on planet Earth, albeit very very slowly. We're basically going to throw ourselves into the most agonizing death sequence we possibly can and there's only a slim chance that anyone will make it through to the other side and get off to space (since Earth will be uninhabitable afterwards, although it will recover after a couple million years).

The present unpleasantness is merely an inconvenience. The lights are still on, and the trucks and trains are still running.
