In the replies he reveals his great grandfather was THE CHIEF ASSASSIN AND SPYMASTER

of pre-revolution tsarist russia lmfao

i don't believe this, this is a guy doing a bit, no one can be this stupid

[–] ShareThatBread@hexbear.net 62 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Yeah. This comment is just what-the-hell

Never actually got his name. My dad had a bad relationship with his parents (one was which was the surviving daughter). So he didn't like tslking about his family. I'd have to ask my aunt. I just know that he was a Cossack who had the role of Chief Assassin and Spymaster.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 68 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty funny that this guy has all this legit animus toward communists but can’t even remember the name of the person the offense was given to.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 45 points 3 weeks ago

So much for the tolerant left. Not even being willing to forgive the guy whose job was to personally have you assassinated and likely managed to kill many of your friends, family and associates.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 33 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that title really compromise your role?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Spymasters are in charge of managing spies, not doing spying, usually.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So they would know who all the spies are. If anything it would be more important they have their identity hidden than any specific spy

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, if you're a country's spymaster then you probably have some spies that report directly to you, but there's a chain of command and deliberately isolated cells that mean that the majority of actual spies are outside of the specific awareness of the spymaster, or aren't identifiable.

Also, if the spymaster is captured, you're already fucked because it means they were able to kidnap a top official from the capitol.

And if there is a chain of command with one person at the top, it's probably a great deal of effort to go through the theater of trying to conceal to ultimately keep a secret that isn't very difficult to figure out because the spymaster still needs to be working in constant active collaboration with various officers, etc. Also, the title usually isn't public-facing anyway, not that it really matters.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You seem to know a lot about being a spymaster... cat-confused

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have brainrot from reading and listening to stuff about the NKVD, CIA, and so on.

The communists killed my grandfather just because he disagreed with them politically and was an obergrupperfuhrer in the SS

A lot of gusano failchildren and grandchildren are like this. They've seen their parent/grandparent as a "kind and good" person, because they are nice to them and so take their stories to heart about how much better things would've been if they got to remain the rich and powerful scumlords before communism ruined everything. They've grown up with this idea, internalised it, and most people in the west have such a knee jerk "communism bad" response that they almost never actually receive pushback for it.

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 86 points 3 weeks ago

"My great grandfather fled during the assault on Bastille. He was on a personal hit list by Robespierre because he worked closely to Marie Antoinette. Fuck the French revolution and fuck those who eliminated the legal divide between nobility and peasants"

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 71 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

fuck all the kids trying to bring it back. Legit need discipline.

0% chance this guy isn't using a euphemism to avoid saying communists make him want to beat children.

BTW, from an older comment of mine:

[...]

btw here is a step by step guide to Ayn Raynd’s life:

1: be born into obscene wealth

2: be 12, a civil war breaks out, flee to white-controlled crimea

3: the reds win, nationalise the fathers pharmacy

3.5: the reds win, without that she would have never seen a university from the inside

4: be 16 and among the first women to go to university

7: fuck off to the US to whine and cry

8: write incoherent, economically completely unfeasible, idealist defense of a hypothetical capitalism

9: profit

You forgot about creating an artist cult, fucking as many people as you can within it until you alienate everyone of actual influence, then die poor, only for the your philosophy and works to be taken up decades after your death and immediately mixed in with the Christianity you despised.

We don't know how many people communists killed, we only know that they didn't kill enough

My reaction to the post the pictured comment is under:

Photo of a feminine-presenting person with blue green hair walking towards the camera. The caption above reads: Me on my way to say nuh uh to a Ukrainian Sommer wojak whose entire family was murdered by Stalin in 1933

[–] reaper_cushions@hexbear.net 45 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As someone who’s family was expropriated by the communists in their country: good. Could have imprisoned my great-grandmother less, she really didn’t know where her uncle hid the family riches.

This reminds me of a guy I knew I college, he said his family hated communism because his great-grandfather was murdered by the Bolsheviks. He said he was just a simple carriage-builder for the tsar.

Reflecting on that anecdote, assuming it is true (that he was a carriage-builder for the tsar and he was killed by “the Bolsheviks”)… I suspect there was critical information that was left out. Likely, he was a supporter of tsar and fought with the white army or something along those lines, and was killed in the civil war.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not saying it's the most likely answer, but it's also possible that he just died in the crossfire. If you have a job that is so personally connected to the Tsar himself, you're likely to be in places where fighting is happening even if you're a civilian.

I honestly think it's more likely that the Bolsheviks killed him deliberately than in the crossfire, but yeah the most likely guess is that the guy who was employed directly by the Tsar would fight to preserve the Tsardom, so he was killed trying to fight revolutionaries.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

There wasn't much crossfire to be caught in around the tsar court, since it was mostly disbanded even before October Revolution.

Oh and carriage driver for tsar would be very likely okhrana agent, this was one of the favourite methods of being undercover in okhrana modus operandi, both for observers and bodyguards (the last one ever since Alexander II died in assassination in his carriage).

Antisemitism wasn't invented until decades later when Israel was created.

Missing the forest for the trees: I wonder if Lenin actually had a hit list or if that would be under Trotsky's responsibilities?

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago

It would be under Dzierżyński's responsibilities.

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Military wise, i could imagine Trotsky being more involved with finding generals and commanders to take out during the civil war.

If Lenin had a hit list, it would've been full of people that annoyed him personally.

If Lenin had a hit list, Karl Kautsky would have died long before he did.

[–] Lenins_Sabocat@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 3 weeks ago

Lenin hit them with sick burns in his written work.

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

I wish that the Jews of imperial Russia had the opportunity to beat his great grandfather to death. I wish we were still on reddit so we could get banned for inciting violence against his long dead great grandfather.

My first time seeing "tz" as a transliteration of Ц.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's used in German AFAIK and seems to me to be more accurate

[–] regul@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, seems like it's well-attested (and makes sense), I just hadn't seen it before!

"Tsar/czar" is a common crossword clue and it's interesting that there are two common transliterations in English (I think czar is far older). But the fact that there are already two very common ones and then this person threw out this third one was unexpected!

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I do vibe more with the older "cz" for whatever reason, but ye, "tz" isn't commonly used in English AFAIK

[–] tricerotops@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

My great grandfather was a fr*nchman who liked to fuck. My grandfather never knew his name. I hate the fr*nch now for having such loose morals.
