The entire Revolutionary war in Russia is absolutely majestic. I've read biographies of Stalin and Lenin already.
What are some good books on this period?

Both of these people look like they should be attractive but the honestly aren't, can't tell why.

"Ten Days That Shook the World" is great, though it's written from a rather naive pro-Bolshevik perspective.

You're a Western Euro/ American
Both of these are Slavic.
People of these two groups are extremely different culturally and genetically despite what stormfront dummies say.
The same way you can't tell if an Asian chick is attractive or not while an asian would say "damn she's ugly" to the one you find to be an angel.

Can any Asians tell me which ones are supposed to be hot? My adopted Viet roommate is in love with that Lana Condor but I think her face looks tumorous.

IDK what psyop you're a victim of but I want the shit you're having.
>>17328894
Depends on what you mean by "attractive", there are a lot of conventionally attractive Asian people in all Asian countries, but that's not the same as the type of "attractiveness" that South Korean women get surgically sliced into their skin, for example. Generally though, you'll be looking at East Asia, since they have more typical Asian features. SEA has Indian admixture etc.

I don't really know, a guess "cute but strong enough that I don't have to help them with everything"? I went to Hong Kong, Thailand, and Singapore in 2017 and the hottest girls I saw were at the Japanese airport when I was trying to nap on a bench. The women in Hong Kong had short and muscular calves that made them look like frogs. The Thai girls had box heads and I don't even remember the Singapore girls, they mostly looked like weird Asian mutts.

Yep, these birds are way hotter.
I kind of get what you're saying but I think I have a pretty good grasp of what makes someone "attractive" for every single race (except Abbos of course kek). Funny enough, I used to be really into Asians but now "Attractive" Asians (as seen in kpop and that sort of thing) all kind of look the same to me now. Pale face, silly hair, soft features, etc., idk it seems off to me now. Kind of like a pastry that's too sweet, I guess, I can't eat it. Asians can be really ugly too, weak chin, pan face, bug eyes. There's a middle area where I still find them attractive but I don't have the same fetish I had when I was younger that other people on this site seem to still have.

It's true though.
"Conventionally attractive" is a western meme.
Why do you think african tribes have such weird (to us) dress and ornaments? Or Asian immigrants to Europe wear really baggy and unrevealing clothing?

An example. The guy being discussed on the game show and Chinese Jerry Liu both find different girls attractive. Liu even claims how the German is obsessed over a girl that to a Chinese eye is below average.

>The Thai girls had box heads and I don't even remember the Singapore girls, they mostly looked like weird Asian mutts.
People are reading about the demographics of Singapore.
Anyway, if you're looking for something that you'd personally find hot, then idk might be worth looking at some Japanese phenotypes, see if that's what you like. If not, you can maybe look at Central Asia - a lot of them are hapafied to various degrees because of back and forth raping with the Russians etc so they have a more distinctive look.

I meant by Asian standards. If we are talking western standards, the plastic freak shows probably come closest to that.
>Why do you think african tribes have such weird (to us) dress and ornaments?
That's not really relevant desu, your great grandparents' clothing would also probably look very weird to you if you're a westerner.

Yeah, he practiced "free love" like a lot of early-20th-century radicals. I'm saying you should read his book if you're interested in the October Revolution, not that you should adopt him as your personal role model.

Slavic women are considered beautiful throughout Europe.
>People of these two groups are extremely different culturally and genetically despite what stormfront dummies say.
What a ridiculous thing to say. "Western Europe" isn't comprised of a single racial makeup. There are Germanics, Celts, Meds... Slavic people are genetically closer to Germanics, for instance, than Italians, and especially South Italians, are.
Finnish people are considered Western European culturally, but they are the furthest genetically from the rest of Europe.
But all of Europe, including Fins, can still be grouped into a single family, called "White" in our day.

blah blah blah. Anyway, read "Ten Days That Shook the World," and maybe read Emma Goldman's books if you want an anti-Bolshevik perspective from an author who moved in the same circles as Reed.

You should read a book about the most painful and lingering methods of suicide and try them out.

As someone who lives in a post-soviet country and whose parents grew up in soviet times I honestly think it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. They talk about gulags and deportations but don't mention that the people deported were those who were unwilling to work despite being capable, those who took bribes and engaged in all sorts of corruption (for example there's an account of them deporting a teacher in the village who gave a student good grades in exchange for a cow), or those who were political antagonists. The last of these is the most questionable as it's obviously bad to deport people for political views/action, but it's at least understandable when you realise that these people genuinely thought they were ushering in a communist utopia.
Also they didn't deport families as is claimed so often. They gave the wife the choice to go to Siberia with her husband or not. Most of the time they chose yes.

The USSR is definitely remember differently in different countries. The Baltics and Western slavs definitely hated the USSR and are glad to see it go, but I get the impression most Russian really miss it (I'm referring mostly to oldsters who lived under it)
At the end of the day the collapse of the USSR ushered in an instantaneous and severe decline in living conditions and health in most of the Eastern Bloc. That alone will make you miss the USSR, even if you had problems with it beforehand. There's also the allure of prestige and status associated with it- well, you went from being a citizen in one of the two super powers, and now you're just a citizen of an irrelevant Russia in a frankly dilapidated Moscow suburb
I think it would be reasonable to say that even if some ex-Bloc people miss the USSR, they would probably also be miserable about the same problems they currently have if it came back.

Well i read the fall of giants and while the ussr wasnt great the part in which the revolt agaisnt the czar was great.
All the army men just shot the officers and stormed the armories and for a brief period there was anarchy and freedom.
