Imagine there's a Western backed genocide happening, possible WW3 around the corner, and fascism is coming to power everywhere. And you made video after video about why MLs are bad.

I shouldn't care, but I used to really like BadMouse.

Also imagine being English and making an hour long video attacking an Iraqi communist.

There's also the point that the vast majority of land the Soviet Union "occupied" was land that Poland took after the Polish–Soviet War

Not a really powerful argument knowing that the USSR invaded Baltic countries and Finland too. Not that I think that's bad, ridding those countries of their capitalist governments is something that had to be done, as well as putting some land between the Nazis and the Soviets in the upcoming war (libs try to understand the implication of the Great European Plain in soviet policy in WW2 challenge level: impossible).

To me, the more powerful argument is that all of those countries were too weak to fight the Nazis, so the alternatives to soviet occupation were either collaboration with Nazis or Nazi invasion. I still haven't gotten a meaningful reply to that, other than "Nazis took our lives but Ruzzians took our souls" russophobia nazi-adjacent bullshit.

The difference is said Baltic countries and Finland did not occupy land recently annexed from other nations. I think the point about the Polish territory being occupied is actually really useful because it appeals to the kneejerk sensibilities that make libs defend Ukraine. It can make them question themselves, at least more than not bringing it up.

There is something particularly satisfying about asking "so Vilnius not being part of Poland currently is evil?". The mere fact that Lithuania's modern capital today was under Polish occupation is a stark point to make.
