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.
My unearned birthright was taken from me a century before my birth so we must never seize the means of production.
The arguments are so tired, anyway. Revolutions are messy, innocent people die. They're also necessary because the system people revolted against wasn't working; innocent people were dying :twain-two-reigns-of-terror:
Oh the USSR of the 1920s wasn't pro lgbtq? Remind me which countries were? Oh Weimar Germany, with their social democrat government? How'd that work out for them? Who ended up liberating Germany from fascism and implemented pro lgbtq laws in the gdr?
