[NewUser21111]

I would have never survived this hellhole. Just give me the bullet. Fuck Communism.

[21a45]

Why did they go outside the camp?

Cant undestand english

[Xhai221]

[bullettoothburrows]

@21a45 To work.

[chimko1111]

They left out alot of shit...

[unclejuniorsoprano]

It's as though they are on the moon. I wonder how far they had to walk before they reached the work site? Like the man said, why did the authorities have them chop ice with a pick axe?

[ChildishxCharm]

@unclejuniorsoprano there in the northeastern part of Siberia. And they chopped ice for no reason but to be punished, or to work for reason known only by the guards or maybe a place to dump the dead.

[unclejuniorsoprano]

I would rather be dead than to have to spend even a single day as a zek in that prison camp. Horrid.

[runner305]

the scene of them walking in unison, the pain so clear on their faces, the dismal music in the background...almost too much to bear

[Nives7777777]

man is a wolf to man

[speculativeboy]

@Nives7777777 Thats what Thomas Hobbes would like us too believe. Whether it is in fact true is another matter.

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

Nine people liked this. Sick bastards.

[esamarkuc]

Allanlegacy43 it is necessary in order to keep up the human institutions.

[Allanlegacy43]

Why is man so cruel to one another?

[bookstar77]

@Allanlegacy43 -- It's been this way since the dawn of our species in Eden. We're the most self-destructive, self-annihilating species in the cosmos, for all we know.

And yet, even in the midst of such self-inflicted grief and darkness, there are humble flashes of light, even holiness. For to paraphrase one of David's Psalms:

"Thou hast made him a little less than the Angels, yet crowned him in glory."

[Allanlegacy43]

@bookstar77 Very nicely said, amen.

[MARKO8885VTC]

@Allanlegacy43 how `sn that saying goes the man is a wolf to each other i can`t tell it in english but something like that worst animals are we

[mcleanartists]
