    definitely aimed at you, but also edifying for anyone who might think the USA was solidly on the side of good during the war. The US entered the war in 41, but they refused Stalin's repeated requests to open a second front against Germany. They went to north africa first and then italy, waiting until the German eastern front had nearly collapsed before landing in Normandy. The US was essentially racing against the red army, trying to prevent the soviet union from liberating the entirety of europe under the banner of liberation for humankind. Once the US reached Germany and peace began, the US almost immediately formed NATO and appointed Nazi war criminals into its upper ranks while putting nazi war ciminals in charge of west germany. The yankee government is bad and always has been. throughout all of its history it only has made good choices when it has been dragged kicking and screaming.

        -Historical illiteracy coupled with utter smugness

        -Ego too fragile to stand being corrected

        -Weird homophobia and sexual projection in response to feeling challenged

        -"Your own kind"

        Yup, it's liberal time

              If I was a tankie I'd hate being called a tankie, too. Grifting becomes difficult if people actually have a word to describe your grifting, no?

                The "tankies" were right about Hungary and they are right now too, Bidenist trash.

                  Yeah, that's your ideology, tankie... repressing the working class "for their own good." There's no need to explain it to me - I already know.

                I don't hate being called it, I just think you're a lazy anti-intellectual. Also funny you think we're "grifting". Do you honestly think we get paid for this? Someone believes something different from you and the only explanation is we're getting xibucks deposited into our bank account? Get your head out of your ass man.

        Sorry that the Soviets prevented the West from putting as many Nazis in charge of Germany as you would have wanted.

        Lol. Get shat on, imperialist.

        Our own kind is the workers of the world, the voiceless and the oppressed. And together we are strong.

              What's the matter? Snorting copium because all the anti-colonialist movements in the 3rd world only paid lip service to your garbage ideology?

                You're making zero sense here.

                Kinda sounds like you want the people to lose just so you can keep going "tankies bad" and score imaginery internet points.

              At this point, I'm amazed at any tankie that can even spell liberal... despite my low expectations, you still manage to mostly disappoint, though.

            Stalin is our Father! Stalin was a hero of the working class so powerful liberals rage at the mention to this day! To allow his work to be tainted for no reason other than lack of knowledge would be an end to marxism.
