For me I think it has to be Russiagate. It’s just become a catch all for centrist libs to refuse to believe anything bad about their team, make up crazy conspiracies about anyone to their left or right, dismiss every contradiction of capitalism as “Russian interference”. It’s maddening. At least the RWNJ conspiracies like Q and the Alex Jones shit are usually pretty funny because of how ridiculous they are, russiagate doesn’t even have that going for it.

What are some other contenders?

    What? Holy shit? Trotsky? Fucking Trotsky got you banned? I'm an unironic Stalinist but I won't even go so far as to say "Trotsky and Hitler? I see no difference".

      As a trotskyist who argues with stalinists, I'm pretty sure that you, as an unironic stalinist, are supposed to pretend that "Stalinism" isn't a thing.

        Yup. That's how much someone being banned for upholding Trotsky had triggered me. I'm so mad that I'll become a trotskyist.

        As a tankie, I agree with you, the Trotskyist, that Stalinism isn’t a thing
