    I thought it was being sarcastic as obviously there have been many mass shootings in Russia

          Only 4 of those happened in the USSR, which is what the post is talking about. The majority happened in the modern Russian federation, which isn’t what the post is talking about

            I’m going to go out on a limb here and say school shootings during the USSR era were far fewer across the entire planet. I’m not sure I understand what distinction you are trying to make about the validity of this meme.

              I wasn’t. I was just correcting that while this post was discussing the USSR, you linked an article which only 4 out of 53 examples were relevant, the rest didn’t happen in the USSR. I wasn’t talking about the rest of the world.

          That list has 4 shootings that happened during USSR time, probably all done by psychos. Meanwhile, the USA will get 4 shootings in a week.

              You realize the USSR stopped existing in 1991 right?

              This is super embarrassing for you.

                As long as we are being civil I think it’s prudent to point out that your douche nozzle is showing. That must be embarrassing for you.

                Yeah that’s why I picked a later year to arbitrarily start counting from, what does it matter?

                Edit: sorry, I think there’s been a miscommunication, I thought the conversation had veered towards comparing modern Russia to modern USA. Ideology built on our forebears and all.

                Edit 2: I don’t appreciate the condescension though, you can correct me without being mean about it.
