Had a heated argument with a tankie who glorified stalin and lenin. So fucking tired. The worst thing he's a discord mod of a good streamer, and i left the server because i can't be there anymore. Context: i'm russian whose grand-grandparents were repressed and forcibly relocated. Left Russia several years ago because i didn't want to support the aggressive war in Ukraine. And his american (no offense to amreicans tho) ass tried to explain me that stalin is an actual hero who singlehandedly saved Europe from fascism, and all repressed were rich "bourgeois land owners" (actually, no. but even if yes, that's a terrorism). Then he and other user started posting stupid tankie memes. Ofc they ignored my questions how LGBT+, religious groups and small nations were treated and deleted the message. I'm sick of that shit. Needed to vent somewhere.
Even if you come from a less affluent country like mine they make sure to blame everything bad ever to the to Soviet Union, so as long as you can shit talk politicians on the internet people assume it's Utopia, just as the landlord grabs most of their paycheck and they can't even go foraging in their childhood homes anymore because everything is privatized and no trespassers are allowed.
