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.
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?
