Imagine twitter being around in world war 2 and having Stalin shit talk Hitler online

I have a theory that shit talking only happens because of social media, not the other way around.

People with large groups of followers are able to gain more clout and more attention by shit talking. Smaller personalities then mimic them.

I’m looking at the Stalin archives, and they are very respectful in the way they communicate.
