    Sure they are comrade, I’m sure the millions that starved or were executed under Stalin don’t really matter either. Or was that all propaganda and everyone actually had a lovely time?

      Agreed. I don’t think nazis matter either.

      millions that starved

      What?? :0 I thought the USSR eradicated death entirely. You’re telling me people starved during the biggest war in recent history? In the region that had the most backwards feudal system under the tsars and had barely finished a civil war?

          Eh? I doubt they all were. 5 million or so of them were nazis. I assumed that’s who you were talking about.

      That’s like the poor Pepe - massively used as we all know it, but then like two racists (or whatever, I don’t even remember) used it & USA media spammed that all over the place (reaching a far wider and non internet and also other racist audience).

      Now there are Discord servers I can get banned for using Pepe (in a normal way, not even sure how that could be confused). And I don’t, I believe there are marginalised ppl there that would feel bad seeing it & I don’t want that.

      But Pepe didn’t deserve this, neither did swastika, or farmfolks hammer & sickle. Yet they have bs meaning now just because it suits someone.
