Notice the weight-bearing words “at first” in your own cited research? Etymology is not a valid argument when the definition of a term drastically changes, in this case becoming much broader. My point is, most “kulaks” deported by Stalin from the Baltics were new landowners with not a lot of land and at most a few paid workers. At least in the case of Latvia, these workers were commonly seasonal labourers from Poland (that came here willingly).

Showing a paragraph with a nasty description does not really prove anything, I could find you endless paragraphs that say nasty things about communists.
Here’s some other research:
Do you fathom, how little land 5ha actually is for farming? Especially considering, that even the Western Soviet Union is generally not densely populated.
Some 72% of deportees were women and children under the age of 16.
Ah yes, getting skinned alive so hard by women and children.
During the first five-year plan, Joseph Stalin’s all-out campaign to take land ownership and organisation away from the peasantry meant that, according to historian Robert Conquest, “peasants with a couple of cows or five or six acres [~2 ha] more than their neighbors” were labeled kulaks.
So owning marginally more than your neighbours. Wow, what a horrible crime.
Maybe you should do some reading too.
There were no serfs in the 20th century: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolition_of_serfdom_in_Livonia
And the people considered kulaks by Stalin were often the same peasants, who got pieces of land taken from the actual nobility in the interwar land reform: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_Land_Reform_of_1920
Dude, all you needed to be defined a “kulak” was to own your own homestead, they worked on their farms themselves. Serfdom had been over for more than a hundred years at that point.
Ah yes, the suffering of my (great)grandparents is surely imaginary.
Oh that is not just some person, that’s the CTO of "Open"AI when asked, if YT videos were used to train Sora.

1·7 months agoYour last sentence is the only valid complication, all the other issues exist just the same on phones and Google has already solved them in their existing apps.
Except the hard part was already done - the directions are calculated on the server anyway, so only the UI needed to be coded up.
I mean, it could still have been responsible for popularising it.
It does, and so does FairEmail.
Both Thunderbird and FairEmail work with outlook OAuth for me.

Your Second argument is false as well because they don’t get to pass on manufacturing and designing cost to the workers! That cost should be passed onto the customer.
This cost is passed onto the consumer, just from what I’ve seen the value of the work calculations tend to be based on the price of the product, which actually includes this “passing on”.
Interesting, in the EU it’s been fine.
They’re infinitely more likely to indirectly get back to the locals than if they were to go directly to a corporation on the other side of the country.
And you keep on rehabilitating genocidal maniacs 👍
