We are adults and can tell sarcasm

You do realize, that this statement makes a whole lot of sense if taken sarcastically.

Or is that the point, and I'm proving it by not being able to tell?

Lol, what a wildly ignorant take.

Yeah, no artist mentioned anywhere, an album uploaded per day, definitely fully AI generated content...

Gives me Verizon Math flashbacks.

This blows my naive European mind. To make an area deliberately unusable for anything by anyone is wild. At least those hostile benches can be sat on.

Honest question: WTF is this?

Yeah, as one of the few Eastern Europeans here, seeing Westerners spreading straight up Soviet propaganda all the time gets really tiring.

I bet they are making the frogs gay, too.

That's about the least Iroh thing to say. Congrats for the quality shitpost I guess.

Thank you, Bolsheviks, for doing a bit less damage in our area, than what you proved to be perfectly willing to inflict on some of our neighbors.

Also, huge thanks to my ancestors for staying decent in some of the darkest decades of our history. You lived and died with moral integrity in times when you could have easily gotten a comfortable living by becoming corrupt bootlickers to some of the worst despots in human history.

Well I guess being well informed on a topic is not strictly required to form an identity around it on the internet. Being ignorant sure seems to help with the confidence tho.

Are you under the assumption that only fascists were persecuted under communist dictatorships, or are you just being mean?

Again: on one hand I have the stories of my actual relatives who lived under and lost people to both nazi and communist terror, on the other hand I have an internet stranger, who doesn't seem to be interested in anything that goes against their preconceived notions.

I suggest you spend your energy somewhere else, because your line of reasoning will be either insulting, or laughable to anyone in my position.

Well I hate to disappoint you, but for me the weight of your narrative pales in comparison to the first hand accounts of my actual ancestors.

Make assumptions about me and my ancestry at our first interaction, I'm sure you will eventually convince someone you're arguing in good faith.

As someone who grew up in an ex Warsaw Pact country, reading your characterization of the USSR is hilarious to me.

Imagine a Native American reading comments that are praising the US for how well they've done by them by giving them casinos.
