Note identify as a communist not are identified as a communist by a right winger who doesn’t know what the word means and identifies anyone left of Adolf as a communist.
Because the popular image of “communists” are “weird tankie guys” who like read weird dead people and somehow are soyboys but also simultaneously want to oppress women.
I think that’s just an insular internet thing. I don’t even know what the popular perception of communists are. Probably just loud and annoying? Or someone who likes Russia a lot. There isn’t really a coherent view of communism among people who aren’t already into it.
Really? I heard the “communist are the true sexist akushally!” take a few times already, its being spread by the breadtube streamer crowd, who popularized ‘tankie’ as well.
Women and spouses in particular are statistically the most likely to get shot once a gun is in their home, by far. I understand the need for protection and why there is support for guns but stats are stats, women are the victims of male perpetuated gun violence far more often than people in power.
Yeah, and I also find extremely weird that people can be against Rogan (for being Righ-wing I guess) but pro guns and anti communist. It doesn’t sound like “critical thinking” to me
I’m pro-gun; gun rights are also trans right, gay rights, and women’s rights; without gun rights, you don’t get the entire civil rights movement. Joe Rogan is still an idiot that amplifies the views of bigots, incels, and nationalists. Self-identified communists end up being authoritarian; it’s just red-flavored fascism.
So the thesis of this book is “let the good people have weapons because bad people also have guns” instead of “let’s, all of us, have no weapons”?
American gun nuts really don’t get how ridiculous they sound to the rest of the world…
Yes but also, by the same article, 55% of women considers a red flag if you “identify as a communist” and only 27% considers a turnoff “owning a gun”
☕
To be fair, communists do have a red flag.
oh my god, nice catch
Note identify as a communist not are identified as a communist by a right winger who doesn’t know what the word means and identifies anyone left of Adolf as a communist.
Edit: corrected
Presumably you meant ‘anyone left of Adolf’
correct

Might depend on your social group and location. I live in the south where communist just means “extra left Democrat who also likes Russia.”

Hell if you say there are only 2 genders - that’s a red flag in 55% of women… or 30% if you don’t care about politics
☕
What do you mean, “but”?
That the “sample population” is clearly biased by its “geographic origin” and “cultural context”
To be fair the Joe Rogan thing sort of gives that away already. 99% of women here in Europe would just ask “Who is Joe Rogan?” if asked about him.

I’m really having a hard time understanding how the two things are connected
Here ya go.

I don’t think there is a ‘but’. But it’s good to know that russians are not welcome.
Russians are imperialist, not communist. They dream of a great russian empire, not for return of the communism.
Either way, it’s still nice that they aren’t welcome.
Once Russia changes so that they can play nicely with each other and their neighbors, then they’re welcome.
Did you ever hear of this one year called 1991?
