The only thing that might be brigading, but isn't because it isn't a real thing, is someone explicitly going, "Hey everyone, go here and harass this person"

It's all fine and good that we have some new rules to keep the peace with other instances but we must fight against reddit-logo brainworms

    Its the June 4th Tiannemen thing that gets me. The 1932 famine is complicated. There's plenty of room to just say "look all these reputable historians say terror famine! You can just ignore the tankie historians who say it was complicated. But there's nothing complicated about June 4th. What they think happen didn't happen, it's widely agreed that it didn't happen. I don't even know who is still spreadying this bullshit.

      Every neoliberal thinktank and media outlet. What the historical record says is irrelevant in that context.

        I'm getting high school level understanding of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact thrown at me as an example of fascist/communist sympathy/equivalence.

          Yeah, I personally haven't seen that gem specifically from blahaj, but they say shit that stupid and worse. It's like they get their views from those shitty revisionist history youtube channels following the Hardcore History wave.

          God I hate that bullshit. History starts when the commies do something they don't like, and then stops immediately after, and then blips back in to existence the second commies do something they don't like again. Everything happens in perfect isolation with the only connecting thread being the involvement of some kind of communistish government.
