Christ and here I was thinking that Reddit was a left wing circlejerk, at least tankies get downvoted in Reddit.
The first country to leave the union, Lithuania, which your chart conveniently left black as if a referendum never happened, did actually have a referendum with 90% of voters choosing to leave the union. Which, of course, was met with economic blockades and military action to demand the removal of the declaration of independence.
90% of people are not oligarchs, these were workers, voicing their opinion. And just like the USSR, you pretend that they didn’t exist, because they’re not convenient to your political agenda.
Darn, I was hoping the federalization part of it would allow some diversity of thought in how things are run, but both sites seem very left wing and US focused.
Welp, I’ll sign out then, I heard there were some Finnish forums and I’m trying to learn that language, so I’ll check those out instead. Kiitos ja moika!
We’re very internationalist, there’s a large community in the global south. It’s still dominated by European and Statesian users for now, but thankfully it’s more diverse than that.

Lemmy was made and is developed by communists, if you’re anti-communist you probably aren’t going to like it here.
Lithuania having a large nationalist movement and a far-right resurgance doesn’t disqualift that the vast majority voted to stay within the USSR. This is further proven by the dramatic drop in people supportive of capitalism in Lithuania from 75% right after the dissolution to around 50% by 2009.
