@sim @lain @augustus @lebronjames75 things like this were a really common occurrence in the ussr. my grandma was born in a kazakh prison. my great-grandma's crime? "stealing" grain that had fallen from a transport trolley. she was charged under the law of three spikelets and was only released after my grandma was born. that grain would have never been used otherwise, it would have been ground into dust by the horses trotting over it, and yet the handful that my great-grandma took was enough for the authorities to throw a pregnant woman in jail. thankfully, she didn't get sent to a gulag, or i might not have been born. then there's also the property that was "liberated" from my great-grandpa, etc etc. my family has suffered greatly under the hands of communism, and i am extremely thankful that i don't have to live under it and it's why i treat communists with more disdain than i do nazis
