Wow those sure are some thoughts you managed to have. Big boys and girl and gems usually like to talk to each other and listen. You should try it. Use your words. What is your critique of the USSR and why do you perceive "realising we've been propagandised about china" as being akin to a circle of people masturbating?
As a Polish person, if you say anything good about USSR without acknowledging it was shit stealing, people murdering, generation destroying piece of shit, I'd like to invite you to talk to some of the old people who remember, read diarys or fucking analysis.
Do you know they even decimated our fucking cuisine?
Sorry if you weren't implying anything positive about USSR, I have short fuse here.
Why is it that every time I visit Poland there is fascist propaganda everywhere I look?
Maybe you should do something about that instead of whining about the USSR.
How would you have survived Generalplan Ost?
"The Soviet Union liberated Europe from fascism, and Europe will never forgive them for it."
I can lie about my nationality and make shit up too Mr FBI agent.
Also the idea that old Polish people are a monolith is bloody fantastic.
I'd love to talk to more old people who overwhelmingly say life was better under the USSR. I'd love to talk to more people who voted to keep the USSR and got couped into a hellish decade of shock doctrine.
Yeah the ebil gommulist came and killed your food I read it in the NED funded Atlantic article. Christ you, of all people, should possess some level of ability to realize you've been lied to. "Oh things weren't great back then, so that means it's actually good we have child prostitution a cratering vaccination rate and so much more". Or are we going to the route of how things got super good because of EU membership? Ah yeah that shit is going great. But yeah the USSR wasn't perfect, so let's just gargle all the propaganda we can get and whenever we hear anything positive then it's either just regular old person nostalgia or an uninformed westerner or whichever other excuse you can pull out of your ass so you can continue brain-deadedly glorifiyng western Europe. Nevermind the fact France still dictates the financial policy of several African countries, which is just the tip of a very very very large iceberg.
Sorry I just get annoyed when people talk out of their ass and think "I come from an eastblock country" means anything, as if we aren't amongst those who have been stepped on by the American boot most of all.
Shame on you.
What's your point? The west is shit? Not arguing here.
USSR good? Any old Polish people saying that? I'd love to meet them and check if they weren't high positioned in the Party at that time.
Edit: I wonder if a thought that some people might be missing USSR might be because of old propaganda materials ever visited you?
I think it's so nice that this CIA propaganda LLM thinks any American has ever even had access to USSR propaganda, like the New York Times just published some KGB-written articles to make a few bucks with their spare paper.
TIL if someone's saying something that doesn't agree with your worldview then that person must be an LLM.
If the USSR apologist I was replying too had talked to old people claiming to remember USSR fondly, then either they remember the propaganda, or they youth fondly, or they were in the party. My grandma started remembering USSR kinda fondly when she was getting too old to function by herself.
And you need to work on your reading comprehension if you read my post as USA being affected by old USSR propaganda - I meant the (now) old people who lived then.
It’s funny that you think anyone cares about your opinion or your fascist shithole of a country.
lol someone tattled on you
