Those people don’t want better for anyone. At what point do you just walk away and let them die in their irrelevancy?

There is no credible historical evidence that Joseph Stalin actually did this. The image is presenting a later anecdote as though it were a documented historical event.
The story about Stalin plucking a live chicken and then feeding it wheat appears to be a political allegory, not a verified incident. PolitiFact investigated the claim and rated it False. They consulted Stalin biographer Oleg Khlevniuk, who said the anecdote was false and traced it to a much later literary tradition.
Where the story apparently came from
The important part is the timing.
Stalin died in 1953, but the chicken story doesn't appear in contemporary accounts of Stalin's life. It emerged decades later and has been associated with Kyrgyz/Soviet writer Chingiz Aitmatov, whose writing deliberately incorporated legends, myths and allegory.
So the basic structure is:
Stalin → brutal treatment → chicken follows him for food → "this is how you govern people"
It's a pretty effective metaphor for authoritarianism, which probably explains why it became popular online. But effectiveness as a metaphor doesn't make it a historical quotation.
One important distinction
The underlying lesson isn't necessarily nonsense. Stalin's regime absolutely did use coercion, repression, propaganda, punishment, rewards, and political terror to maintain power. The fabricated chicken demonstration is essentially a fictional illustration of that broader reality.

AI Overview
Lowering interest rates during inflation typically makes price increases worse by making borrowing cheaper and boosting spending. [1]
What Happens to the Economy
- Cheaper borrowing: Loans for cars, houses, and businesses cost less.
- More spending: Consumers and companies buy more goods and services.
- Higher demand: Increased demand pushes prices up even faster.
Why Central Banks Usually Do the Opposite
- Cooling demand: Central banks like the Federal Reserve raise rates to fight high inflation.
- Slowing growth: Higher rates make borrowing expensive, which reduces spending and stabilizes prices.
- Rare exceptions: A central bank might cut rates during mild inflation only if the broader economy is facing a severe recession or job losses
