I even kind of threw them a bone and said that “the criminals” running modern day Russia are explicitly not communists so would have different goals. And I was told that they are “basically the same”

Every day the world tries its hardest to drive me insane

ah, that type. those sorts believe communism is some kind of asiatic racial trait. that's why it doesnt matter to them that russia isnt communist anymore, because you see, they're still russian, and that's the same thing.

For some type of person my interactions are just following the guide of the animal documentary called Madagascar.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a reference to the penguins in the first madagascar movie in the last 24 hours I'd have two nickels

Which isn't a lot, but it is weird it happened twice, especially considering if you expanded the timeframe from 24 hours to 5 years, I would instead have 3 nickels
