No? What the fuck? That's not how morality works. Nothing about the Soviet Union's values or how they made decisions changed, as evidenced by them continuing to engage in oppression and imperialist aggression right up until basically the day they collapsed.

You should hear what they have to say about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Apparently failing to stop the nazis is worse than actively assisting them in conquering and oppressing Poland.

Happy to be of service. Hopefully once we've posted enough of these tankies will stop going into the comments to spread genocide denial and authoritarian apologia.

So called "anarchists" when you touch their pro-state.

The political compass is extremely dumb and completely useless for actual political analysis.

I think this is a little too subtle to piss tankies off, you need to explicitly call them out on their favorite losers. The "The material conditions forcing Stalin to execute gay people" meme is a personal favorite of mine.

What the fuck does that question have to do with anything? The US could have a personal hatred for every individual Uyghur Muslim in the world and China would still be in the midst of trying to genocide them.

Bro if a communism button existed Biden would be infinitely more likely to press it than Xi, and Biden sure as shit is not a communist.

What are your opinions on the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact?

[–] Silverstrings@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have no idea, I think it means whatever you want it to mean. Usually folks interpret it as visiting the sub and then going to a different one but you could also interpret it as leaving permanently, like I said it isn't actually enforced. It's just meant to encourage lots of irreverent posting.

Oh god almighty I knew Spez was bad but this is beyond the fucking pale.
