Yankee college kids tell Eastern Europeans how to act throughout top‐grossing antisemitic torture porn? Interesting analogy.

What I find far more interesting, though, is seeing how anticommunists respond to Easterners who don’t conform to their ideology:

YOU SHOULD JUST FUCKING SMILE, AND BLOOOOW MEEEEEEE!

Seems to be from a lib source but it’s still nice when they speak the truth for once.

Incidentally, this is the same reasoning that Shoah deniers today use to support their meme: ‘the communists said it, so it must be false.’

Azov are literal nazis who’ve said they want to defend Ukraine from the queer community.

But… but… Russia!

I have to admit, you almost had me there!

No, Stalin wanted to take over all of Finland so that he could go in and massacre everybody in there because they opposed communism. Either that, or just for the lulz.

That’s an indisputable fact.

The writer didn’t make a mistake; this is perfectly accurate.

You see, the reason that Imperial Japan struck Pearl Harbor was due to the U.S. sanctioning Imperial Japan’s oil.

How is that China’s fault?

The answer is quite obvious:

The Chinese should have immediately let the Japanese annex China and extract all of its oil while giving them nothing in return.

If the Republic of China and the Chinese communists just surrendered on day one, Imperial Japan could have had all the oil it wanted and it wouldn’t have had to strike the U.S.’s colonies.

But no, Mao just had to come along and have his communist revolution, preventing the Imperialists from easily obtaining all of the resources that they needed, angering them in the process and forcing them to lash out at the U.S.

That is how the Chinese are responsible for Pearl Harbor.

Why on Earth should the Japanese government be held culpable for that? That makes no sense whatsoever. The Chicoms made them do it. That’s a fact.

Boy, he sure showed us.

See, that’s the great thing about being an anticommie: you can make up whatever shit you want and still be taken seriously.

Am I overreacting, or was ‘pride month’ a mistake?

I just ignored this recommendation the last time that I received it. As far as I know, Orwell never even set foot in the U.S.S.R., and he based his research on British newspapers controlled by the ruling class.

The only reason I can think of as to why anticommunists repeatedly recommend him is that they think that history is ‘boring’ and that a work of fiction would hold our attention spans better, otherwise it makes no sense whatsoever.

Most likely she would do everything in her power to suppress the visitors’ reports, as Pres. Woodrow Wilson tried to do.

That’s true for active anticommunists in general.

I certainly don’t share the author’s respect for De Gaulle, but it’s good to have documents of anticommunist officials (partially) admitting that Imperial America is bent on world domination — a part of the world, in this case. The effects should already point to that conclusion, but explicit commentaries and discussions like these from élites make it harder to wave it off as some mere conspiracy theory.

Nice. I am sure that ‘moderate’ anticommunists are already responding with ‘well, uhhhh stalin che castro’, though, rather than taking a single minute to reflect on their meme ideology.

I’ve seen antisocialists still argue that capitalism has always existed (‘in some form’) and that animals practise capitalism.

I wish that I were joking.

In terms of fiction, I recently started on Pictures of the Socialistic Future. It isn’t horribly long, but I can already tell that it’s going to be a chore to read.

The author considered personal property synonymous with private property (‘such as furniture, old clothes, bank-notes, and the like’), but most amusingly, the citizenry in this commulist dystopia—where decommodification of goods and services is clearly on the rise—are pissed off that the State is seizing their savings bank funds, which makes about as much sense as two gangs fighting over a used toilette brush.

I have a feeling that this story is just to be the unabridged version of this post, but I’ll be nice and reserve my judgement until I finish it.

ETA: I should mention that, in terms of nonfiction, I recently started on The Gestapo, but I’ve been rather negligent with reading my nonfiction lately.

uhhhhhhh

uhhhhhhhhhh

actually soliciam would just be that only 0 brands of cereal cause no food also 100 million innocents dying everyday so it would be WAY WAY WAY WORSE just look at russia u idiots

so stfu and get back to work (if u do work that is ROFLMAO!!!

What really depresses me about this is how many antisocialists are going to seriously defend this practice as ‘good’ or at least ‘necessary’.

[T]he fact that these former prisons had witnessed multiple atrocities against different ethnic groups under various states meant that the sites’ own histories had the potential to threaten the appearance of authenticity of their nationalist, anti-Communist approaches. The full histories of these locations made plain the contested and multilayered pasts of the regions in which they were situated: the Vilnius museum’s building had been used as a courthouse of the Russian Empire before 1914, the German state during World War One and then the Polish government between 1920 and 1940. It then became a Soviet political prison twice (1940–1 and 1944–91) and a Gestapo prison and barracks once (1941–4).

The author continues:

Yet the discovery of detailed NKVD-KGB records proved double-edged. On one hand, they provided irrefutable proof of Soviet complicity, and enabled some families to recover their relatives’ remains. On the other, this secret service documentation revealed that the grave contained the bones of individuals from a much wider range of national and ideological backgrounds than was initially supposed: alongside two hundred and six Lithuanian participants of the post-war anti-Soviet resistance, documents listed thirty-two soldiers and supporters of the Polish Home Army; eighty members of the Lithuanian police (under [Axis] control) who had collaborated with Nazis and their subordinate officers, or worked as supervisors of prisons and concentration camps; and two hundred and fifty-seven people of different national backgrounds who were sentenced for crimes against civilians and participation in crimes connected to the Holocaust.

(Emphasis added.)

Luckily, he comforts his readers:

It should be noted that there is good reason to doubt the validity of some of these accusations: Soviet authorities regularly categorized their enemies as Nazi collaborators or as being complicit in the killing of Jews, where the evidence was slim or non-existent.

Because, as any of my followers know, being an active, generic anticommunist is so much better than being a Fascist specifically. A million times better. I’m sure that all of those anticommunists resisting Soviet integration were very nice people!

That’s a pretty harsh thing to say about BoJack Horseman, don’t you think? (Though I do agree that it still shares some of the same problems that other ‘adult’ cartoons have.)
