Unlike other posters who make this thread, online takes are cool here, but bonus points for IRL stuff.

I was drinking with a coworker last night and somehow communism and the USSR came up. They went on about the Holodomer, implying it was engineered and targeted. I explained "hey you're literally repeating nazi talking points" and I dont recall the rest of the conversation, but im happy I got to defend Stalin at a work gathering.

Not the worst thing I've heard all week I don't think, but its both IRL and fresh in my brain.

      The US led war on terror killed more Muslims than exist in China is my favorite counter to this because it breaks brains

      Like when my roommate (a white suburban "Buddhist") claimed that the the PRC killed literally everyone in Tibet. The response when I asked where the bodies were?

      "They burned them"

      Said with such matter-of-fact conviction, like how could I not know this obvious fact?
