From the book “Stalin” the seminal work of Historian Domenico Losurdo
Libs would twist this into “red fash tankies literally quoting Hitler to justify Stalinist Russia” or something
Exactly like the classic fallacy they love to use:
Lib cites public CIA talking point as proof we need to bomb X country. You say, “The CIA lies about this stuff all the time, here’s an internal CIA memo where they discuss lying and controlling the media to generate fervor and consent for killing these other people” The lib says, “Aha, so the CIA isn’t a trustworthy source but you’re citing them here”
This way they can A. Dismiss criticism against CIA B. Maintain that the CIA is a trustworthy source. C. Prevent you from citing the CIA despite them supposedly believing it is trustworthy (when it says stuff they like).
Yes, this is an awful thing phased as a good one. “The standard of living in russia in 1950 was so incredibly low, that not even an entire world war made all that much of a difference in the standard of livng.”
DAE PENSIONS AND SOCIAL SAFETY NETS = LOW STANDARD OF LIVING HURR
Least illiterate neoliberal
Yeah have you ever lived in the USSR? Have you ever been to a post soviet country? Yeah…
this is indistinguishable from lovecraft-esque horror styles. which, yeah i know, makes sense. but also very funny
The Slavic cranium can read minds and enforce their will on others, so it makes sense
The Slavic cranium can read minds and enforce their will on others
this happens like 3 times in the northman, which is clearly a documentary, so checks out
Dynasty Warriors but it’s the Eastern Front and you play as Stalin
How is it possible? How could this happen?
