:maybe-later-honey: uhm sorry sweatie but after "liberating" auschwtitz the soviet union then oppressed the jews even harder than the nazis because stalin hated jews more than hitler did it's just basic facts
I had an old lady at a shelter I used to work at once insist to me that the Soviet Union just rebuilt the concentration camps further east and continued the Holocaust, because Stalin wanted the credit for genociding the Jews.
I thought she was joking at first, but then she got really mad at me for laughing and I decided it probably wasn't worth arguing politics with a homeless boomer at 3am at work.
Wait shit this is actually a common thing anti-communists believe? America must be destroyed.
I seriously wonder where the fuck did people get these particular brainworms from. Who taught them that. Or do these thoughts just naturally clump together and develop from the chaotic maelstrom of "commies bad" that goes on in their heads like planets during the formation of a new star system.
I mean, I was taught in school that WW2 started when Hitler and Stalin met up and agreed to invade Poland together because they were both equally evil. So I can see how you could get there from that.
A ex roommate of mine actually uses this argument. He says his friends grandparents wanted to emigrate to America but the evil Soviets put them in gulags instead. No evidence for these claims of course.

Yeah, this is the response I get, too. For the average liberal, anticommunism isn't a reasoned position, it's religious dogma.
nonfalsifiable orthodoxy :parenti:
I’ve literally had people say this to me. I do think the only solution is to just double down and call them a Holocaust denier and an antisemite
