      there are americans right now who think their shitty lives are the fault of communists taking over america. the cold war propagandists were so successful that they crafted an entirely new reality.

        It’s actually maddening how convinced so much of the population in the west thinks that communists have secretly infiltrated every aspect of society (even going so far as to call corporations and lib politicians Marxist). They’re living in a very deranged reality that makes them the victim of communists at every waking moment. There’s no way it’s a healthy state of mind to be in.

      There’s a lot of westoid propaganda about how Eastern Europe is horrible because of “the legacy of Communism” as if the USSR is like radioactive fallout that persists for hundreds of years.

      for real, people younger than me telling me generic pro-NATO talking points about a country my parents actually experienced? Countries that stopped existing 33 years ago? It comes across as obvious shilling/astroturfing to me.
