Americans: the red scare was just a few silly over-the-top reactions to the Soviets
Also Americans: Communism killed 100 billion people which is why we can't have communism and also why other countries like Vietnam can't have communism and why the US was justified in killing millions just to try and stop communism. And no, I will not look into where that number came from or consider that it also was part of the propaganda. I'm definitely correct about this despite the fact I don't actually know shit about what I'm talking about.
