r/commiewatch is an anticommunist sub that was recently taken over by communist trolls who have pretty much turned the place into a communist watch appreciation sub. You love to see it.
Soviet era gadgets definitely have a unique sense of style to them.
Personal highlight are cameras. Look at this sexy boi
Jokes aside I have no idea why this one was called the K. There was also a "Zorki 4" and the "4" comes from it being the 4th model they made, so perhaps this exact one is just a minor revision?
It's not uncommon for items to have numbers and letters to indicate things
Like an iPhone 4 vs iPhone 4S
Honestly mods are gone, isnt there a way to take over a dead community with enough people? I guess thatd require admnin cooperation..lol
Should we turn it into our secret hexbear sub until the mods come back?
I'm pretty sure admins are supposed to give it to whoever posts on /r/subredditrequest if the mods aren't active, but in practice they would never do that.
honestly i wonder if there was a way to trick them into giving it to a leftist. Like jsut pose as a racist trying to get it back from 'THE GOMMIES"
Actually that seems like it could work, if you don't make it obvious. Make sock puppet accounts that post in moderate political subreddits for a few months, brigade and spam small conservative subs with throwaways. Then you post on subredditrequest with the sockpuppet, posturing as a moderate who'd like to restore order, but then you just make the sub a leftist space.
Soviet watches are cool: Raketa, Vostok and Poljot are all good reliable soviet mechanical watch brands that you can find refurbished for under $100.
