    So I know gambling is bourgeois decadence, but let’s place our bets on the country he’ll escape to when American funding dries up and Russia overruns Ukraine. I’m placing my bets on Poland.

      I’m thinking he’ll come infest my home shithole of kkkanada . There’s a large amount of ukranian nazis, easy to keep on a short leash, but not directly in america itself. If it does happen I hope he like, gets hit by an average montreal driver.

        It was a group of Canadian-Ukrainian nazis who came up with the “holodomor” term btw. They didn’t actually create the myth itself, but they’re the ones who revived it and gave it a vaguely holocaust-sounding name.

      Well canada is a safe bet because they’re known to be filled with ukrainian nationalists, but my dark horse is the US itself, specifically Miami, FL.

      Gambling can be used effectively. Numbers games were often used as a lender of last resort in poor communities, with numbers readers sometimes even giving wins to people in need rather than who had the correct number. It can quickly devolve into obsession and addiction for some though, so it’s not an ideal, rather a decent survival method within marginalized communities.
