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.
Warsaw Pact, but yeah. It’s astounding how eagerly some people will lick boots if they’re painted red.

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
