Hogs saying that, or saying "communism is worse because it killed more people" are spewing fascist talking points designed to normalize fascism in comparison to the "genocidal death count of communism"

      The viewpoint gun from the hitchiker's guide movie, but it gives you visions of yellow parenti :parenti:

      Me fucking too. I have a lib friend that's a debatelord type and I literally sent him a PDF of Blackshirts & Reds after he freaked out when I said Stalin wasn't literally Satan and the same as Hitler, and even then he wouldn't fucking read it. Instead he searched for Parenti on :reddit-logo: and used that as a way of discrediting him.

      It was this experience that made me realize he just doesn't take politics or understanding history and the world seriously at all, and it's not worth taking his opinions seriously. Trusts reddit's :le-pol-face: s with more credibility than his friend of 10+ years and won't even put in the effort to read 250 pages. That's how powerful :LIB: :brainworms:are.
