i am so tired of people bootlicking ussr and saying that my oppressors weren't as bad
how can you in one breath be like "palestinian genocide is wrong" and "well ukraine deserved this actually"
@mynameistillian people here rightly identify that the US tells propaganda when it talks about the history of the USSR. what they fail to identify is that the propaganda isn't insisting all of the terrible things happened, it's insisting that those terrible things are representative of all opposition to capitalism. but people don't understand this so they just assume the propaganda is just a simple inversion of the truth.
next time russia tries to invade us or kill us or plunder us or whatever, i'll look at you all
genuinely drives me to suicide sometimes
@mynameistillian i don’t know all too much about ussr history, but at least in my head i register it as “just as bad as the us”
@shroomie it was only marginally better, and only in a few ways
@LunaDragofelis @mynameistillian I feel like the insistence that it’s “authoritarian communism” is kinda part of the problem. Really, it’s more of a dictatorship with a coat of red paint.
@h33h33wuffi3 @mynameistillian To be fair, they do also make up terrible things in addition to the ones that really happened.
