It should be noted that Feddit.org was included to represent Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
I did not include Baraza.africa as that was too encompassing as it covers the whole African continent.

Imagine replying to the same person 3 times to say the same thing, and all 3 of them were idiotic because you misread their first comment.
I said "claims to be" not "are" and then further clarified that I was saying that the most recent time I had looked into it I found multiple sources saying they stilled claimed to be communist. I knew they weren't actually communist, I always did. Because of course I knew about the fall of the Soviet Union. I just didn't bother to pay attention to the actual internal structure of Russia because it didn't apply to my life in any way
They don't though. They don't now, they didn't in 2018, and anyone with even the most cursory knowledge on the subject could tell you that.
What is it with westerners arrogantly giving their opinion on things they clearly don't know the first thing about?
Okay, let's break down a few things here. I said
I then recognized that I was affected by propaganda and changed my tune. Then, several hours after I had already realized my mistake and changed my behavior, you came and started verbally abusing me for having misspoken in the first place due to my lack of knowledge. Again, I've already been educated and changed my behavior.
What value do you believe that your comments brought by being abusive after someone had already recognized their biases and changed them? Do you believe you are helping to further change my beliefs or do you feel like you might just be pushing a wedge between two people who actually agree for no reason?
The value is that maybe in the future you will think twice before popping off about subjects you literally don't know the first thing about. Just to be clear, thinking that Russia still claims to be communist in 2018 is like thinking Germany still claims to be fascist or France still claims to be a monarchy. There's nothing wrong with being ignorant, so long as you're humble about it.
