    So, they says they want change but, when presented with the possibility of supporting communism, they instead decide to become fascist to support the status quo.

    Historically checks out.

      Yeah they've been inoculated against the red virus through constant propaganda.

      You don't think Stalin was a monster on par with Hitler? Yeah friend I know your type having "nuanced" takes on guys like Hitler, gtfo Tankie.

      Everything you say will be filtered out by "this person excuses a mass murderer on par with Hitler!"

      And if it's not Stalin there is some other thought terminating assumption taken for granted that you run up against. I mean what broke me out was people being friendly to me even though I had "christian" in my name. All my life people had pointed to the "persecution" of the church in the GDR as an example of what communists would do to me and my family. So I said "Hi" to the rabid redfash tankies on hexbear with this username on my lemm.ee account to troll them really and they were nice?? These people praise guys like Stalin who probably would've shot me himself why aren't they all jumping me like I've seen them do around the fediverse thonk So I read around a bit and found a really nuanced good take on religion, a debunking of what Marx meant by "Opium for the masses" and suddenly everything I thought I knew had to be called into question.

      edited out me defaulting to man sry about that
