I thought the initial gorillion memes were literally Dr Seuss cartoons about how much Hitler and Goebbels lied about Soviet casualties to pretend they were winning the war. Maybe I am operating under too many layers...
I wasn't aware of that! On the internet though, when people see someone talking about gorillions in relation to genocide, they will probably assume you're a fascist
I mean this interaction has sort of changed my mind on it too; if a leftist wouldn't assume it's making fun of fascist talking points like that or referencing the black book of communism's attempts at math then it truly isn't that good of a point to bring up with libs. Reminds me a lot of seeing a lot of literal nazis bashing Jewish people in pro-Palestinian twitter posts and how easy it is for neolibs to imply they are both the same groups.
