  • Go straight back to the term’s root - the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and the subsequent quashing by Khrushchev’s armored cavalry - and what you’re effectively advocating in defense of is a CIA/Nazi collaborative stay-behind network that ushered in the Years of Lead. Are we expected to show empathy for the Hungarian Rebels if they’d been bombing and butchering civilians a decade earlier without compunction?

    You are conflating the resistance to the Russian backed Hungarian regime with the ‘years of lead’ in Italy, which are two entirely unrelated events… also you call the uprising a CIA/Nazi collaborative.

    I’ve never read anything from any scholar (holding a degree in history) that has used those terms in discussing the Hungarian uprising and frankly… It smacks a bit of:

    reading the history from a different angle and viewing the revolutionary violence of a given period as social justice extracted by an empowered proletariat.

    That’s your quote on what tankie terrific is like.

    No you mean theoretical. As neutronium is a theoretical substance. To our knowledge there’s no way to find it outside of neuron stars. It is therefore physically impossible, within our current state of knowledge.

    It’s highly unlikely, bordering on theoretically impossible to assume that mankind will be able to synthesize enough to fill a cardboard box with. Then the practical side says even if that was possible, there would probably no way a cardboard box could contain that (and a plethora of other practical impossibilities).
