I called someone out on the groupchat for saying that if communist orgs can hand out leaflets with Lenin on them he should be able to do nazi salutes in public. He claimed Lenin killed millions and said “ever heard of the holodomor genocide”. I talked about how the famines weren’t a genocide (and how he'd actually been dead for almost a decade before they happened) and later said radlib came in, claimed Lenin oppressed all the people of the USSR (but admitted he helped Ukraine), posted this video and left
No real point in arguing with people like this because they don't hold their opinions on an intellectual level but an emotional one. They NEED Russia to be bad and Russia is the USSR so that has to be bad. For most normies politics is entirely libidinal. Putin hurt them by inflicting Trump on America, so nows our chance to hurt him back.
