Not even joking, redditors literally blame Russia for Malcon X being assassinated in these comments.

    It’s always depressing watching America trying to figure out what they hate more. American hatred of civil rights era black peoples and American hatred of Red-scare era communism (and to a lesser extent all other non-white/anglo nations) is fascinating to me. Americans are truly the most propagandized people in general, we will hate whomever you tell us. Never the capitalists who actually make our lives terrible, it’s the uppity negros or the scheming commies .

    It’s like watching them short-circuit as they try to fit all of their ignorance and hateful rhetoric into one thought.

      :doomjak: the CIA documents about killing or wanting to kill civil rights leaders aren’t even classified anymore

      :fedposting: ”The Black Panthers are the biggest threat to American ‘national security’”

      :maybe-later-kiddo: ”Actually, the FBI would never do that. Also the Black Panthers are tankies. Also, they’re social democrat liberals who would’ve voted for Biden and police reform today.”

        White supremacism was not a problem in the USA until those Russians tricked us into accidentally a racism.

        I mean there were cops accused of being agents of Lenin back in the cool days, which is incredibly funny to think about.

        Edit: actually reading the page info and it makes me a bit bummed out at seeing how policing in america had its transformation into an institution of murderous thumbs stem from this event

        American police officers agreed with Russian propaganda

        But Russian propaganda at the time was all about how bad America was and how racist Americans were and how the glorious Soviet Union didn't have those problems. If the cops "agreed" with it then they would have been on Malcolm X's side.

      Idk if you knew this but assassination is right out of Russia's playbook and famously they are the only country to have ever assassinated someone

      Don't look this up

        “Russian/Kremlin playbook” has to be the most obnoxious BlueAnon phrases uttered after “kompromat” and “quid pro quo”

    Antiquated slur used in neutral context

    "When the south has a problem with it's negroes, they blame the north. When the north has a problem with it's negroes, they blame the Kremlin."

    I doubt there is any actual evidence of it, though. We'd be aware of it.

    Just wanna credit "GeekFurious" for being a living archetype of why talking to liberals is insufferable.

    "Meanwhile, the KGB was actively stoking divisions everywhere they could find it in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.

    And Russia has never really stopped. They're really good at it... hence why many westerns continuously blame western agencies for what Russian intel groups are responsible for..."

    ... and later when called out on this baseless implication of Soviet responsibility"What claims? I didn't claim anything. Do you understand the meaning of the words you use? See, you CLAIMED Russia "had nothing to do with it." You didn't say they may not have, or most likely didn't. You said they didn't. THAT is a claim. "

    Too stupid to pay attention to what they themselves are saying, but smug enough to still condescend about it.
