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)

    Yup, and when you start noticing there is no turning back lol. Its really damn hard to find a piece of western media that doesnt do some sort of anti-communist, anti-russia, anti-china propaganda.

      Yup. “Predator” is a fun movie, until you realise it is literally about a group of CIA mercenaries, on a mission to slaughter some non-descript “rebels” and several Soviet officers that are helping. So basically anti-communist death squad type shit.

      Even when movies go out of their way to portray China somewhat positive, they still can’t help but do it in a condescending fashion. See “The Martian”.
