Like the kind that made you stop and think for a second about how stupid the person advocating it is. For me, it’s the classic “The biggest mistake in recent history was the Allies not pushing into Russia after the fall of Berlin.”
There’s just a level of imperialist arrogance and blood thirst in there that makes my skin crawl. The worst thing in human history was that the US didn’t immediately betray the Soviets and wipe them out until they were sure communism was done for.
Equating communism and fascism.
I mean we seen that a billion times in various versions in mainstream and got used to this but still it’s the stupidest fucking thing ever.
I know, right? The body count of fascism is laughable compared to communism.
Ah yes, another one of these political hot takes…
You can start to learn about the lies told about communist death tolls here: https://discomfiting.medium.com/debunking-communism-killed-more-people-than-naziism-7a9880696f67
Otherwise, if you aren’t interested in learning, you don’t need to troll here.
That dude really hit us with the same old “100 gorillion dead” talking point while being smug about it in a thread about shit political takes. 💀 You couldn’t make this up.
“Yeah the consequences of the USSR collapse led to 200 million people not doing too well, but at least we saved all those people from the gulags!”
I’m sure I’ve heard a lot but one that stuck with me is “gunboat diplomacy and imperialism is good actually.” From the same mouth a minute later: “the only reason the KMT lost [the fucking Chinese civil war] was because the US stopped giving them weapons. Communists are fundamentally incapable of accomplishing anything on their own.”
Rather sure a large part of the problem was that KMT leadership enjoyed engaging in prostitution and booze. Not even Nazi support could save the incompetent fools. Any KMT cadre worth their salt wound up joining the CPC.
Tbf nazi support for the KMT dried up pretty quickly as the diplomatic focus switched to Japan.
Fair point. Wang Jingwei became their guy and the KMT learned one of the most important political lessons too late, don’t buddy up with fascists. They will betray you whenever it becomes profitable.
It’s like his mind had to course correct mid-sentence because he was close to fucking up his own world view.
What flights to India even go over Russia? Especially now? Unless they mean former Soviet republics in Asia?
hmmm, the nuclear genocidal bloodthirst by Europeans and Americans? There’s so many average people that think the only way of dealing with Russians, Chinese, Koreans is by nuking them to extinction. Ironically they don’t see themselves as the problem.
