Warsaw Pact, but yeah. It's astounding how eagerly some people will lick boots if they're painted red.
... yeah, Ceausescu's brutality was definitely Westoid propaganda. You caught us.
I'm just referring to the inevitable denial and downplaying of the brutality of dictators by tankies claiming it's all anti-Communist propaganda.
Damn, didn't even take a full minute after I posted this for you to start licking boots. Yikes.
Hey it's the pot calling the kettle an "asshlole"

No, I was referring to 20 year-old people as well. The difference is, they were talking about 20 year-olds who falsely claim experience in the old Soviet bloc, and I initially interpreted it as 20 year-olds who glamorize life in the old Soviet bloc against all evidence.
