    What

    The only people associating the hammer and sickle with negativity are the propagandized populations of imperial core countries lol, and their opinions don’t really matter for global emancipation

      Sure they are comrade, I’m sure the millions that starved or were executed under Stalin don’t really matter either. Or was that all propaganda and everyone actually had a lovely time?

        executed under Stalin don’t really matter

        Agreed. I don’t think nazis matter either.

        millions that starved

        What?? :0 I thought the USSR eradicated death entirely. You’re telling me people starved during the biggest war in recent history? In the region that had the most backwards feudal system under the tsars and had barely finished a civil war?

            Eh? I doubt they all were. 5 million or so of them were nazis. I assumed that’s who you were talking about.

        That’s like the poor Pepe - massively used as we all know it, but then like two racists (or whatever, I don’t even remember) used it & USA media spammed that all over the place (reaching a far wider and non internet and also other racist audience).

        Now there are Discord servers I can get banned for using Pepe (in a normal way, not even sure how that could be confused). And I don’t, I believe there are marginalised ppl there that would feel bad seeing it & I don’t want that.

        But Pepe didn’t deserve this, neither did swastika, or farmfolks hammer & sickle. Yet they have bs meaning now just because it suits someone.

      Basically all people living in countries that were part of USSR do. We hate russia and hammer and siclke and other communist symbols like a red star for a good reason.

        It’s weird how some people will rightly accept that the masses in America are being oppressed but refuse to accept that anyone was oppressed under the Soviet Union. I can only assume it’s because they live in the USA and only see one thing happening and can’t possibly accept that two global superpowers could both be doing bad things rather than a nice simple goodies vs baddies.
