This person tried to tell me peanut butter was illegal in the Soviet Union because they saw it on stranger things. Like…. you know you can fact check that right? You just believe whatever the tv tells you??

It’s even FUNNIER cuz they were talking about how much they hate the 4th, USA and capitalism… like bestie that was kinda the Soviet unions whole thing. What’s worse is I ask them: what makes them evil? And they answer: because the soviets are evil.

Honestly it’s just sad because people are just so content in their lil ignorance bubbles. Learning about communism from corporate media, being led a stray from any actual class consciousness.

We must never stop explaining in this upside down world. ( lol get it)

    Best to find and talk to those pensioners and babushkas if you want a more realistic perspective on the USSR.

    Ironically, the most staunchly anti-Soviet, pro-West person I know is a pensioneer old enough to remember Stalin.
