I’m referring to people who never actually lived in a communist state but claim to have witnessed first-hand all the anti-communist propaganda they’ve swallowed
All I’m doing is predicting we’ll have someone drop in with the “oh but you never lived it like I did” bit, only to be revealed as too young to have had any meaningful life experience under the government they’re criticizing. It happens so often in threads like this it’s basically a trope.
No, I was referring to 20 year-old people as well. The difference is, they were talking about 20 year-olds who falsely claim experience in the old Soviet bloc, and I initially interpreted it as 20 year-olds who glamorize life in the old Soviet bloc against all evidence.
Time for the 20-year-old authorities on life under the USSR to come out

I’m just referring to the inevitable denial and downplaying of the brutality of dictators by tankies claiming it’s all anti-Communist propaganda.
Damn, didn’t even take a full minute after I posted this for you to start licking boots. Yikes.
“Tankie” is to libs what “woke” is to conservatives
Lmao I’m supposed to take this asshlole’s understanding of history seriously
