I think it's counterproductive to demand that people swear fealty to a dead soviet leader before considering them a potential comrade. Do you do this litmus test with your real-life friends? Like, do you really refuse to hang out with or organize with people who aren't stalin fans? Or is this more a test for deciding which leftist podcasters/online figures are "good" and which ones are "bad"? Neither makes sense to me, but I'm curious
Fealty? It's about the person being able to interpret information. Yes, I do make notes about what people are saying and whether I can consider them trustworthy on the tasks that information can be applied to. And I have done this before being a leftist. This is a skill required in any cooperative work.
As I said, I don't believe people should hate her but questions exist and a person's ability to interpret fact from blatant fiction should not be completely disregarded.

Are you a secret agent or something? I prefer to build trust with people the regular human way, by getting to know them over a period of time, assessing whether or not they share my general goals and principles and seeing if they live up to their commitments. Whether or not they agree with my interpretation of the legacies of controversial historical figures seems less important to me. I also think that there are valid criticisms of Stalin and the U.S.S.R. generally that aren't based on lies and propaganda, so I wouldn't rush to assume that anyone engaging in that criticism lacks critical thinking skills or the ability to interpret information.
No, I simply ask any random friend or coworker help on every and any task regardless if it is in their skill set or expertise. I'm always going to electrician for plumbing work and asking CNN for their opinion on Nicaragua. Just complete bad faith. :side-eye-1:
You're just doing tedious strawman stuff now and you know it. I'm gonna stop now before I commit the cardinal sin of getting mad at an internet stranger over something pointless and stupid. Have a good one.

Sounds like a good way to make sure you're surrounded by insufferable nerds
Thanks I guess
Still a W in my book.
