Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Just take the L and log off, I'm sure you've got a life to live somehow.
Btw when a comrade called you "Hungarian Revolution understander" they were being sarcastic. MLs have been able to surmise as much for decades now, but with the JFK files it's been proven it was a CIA operation, not a real revolutionary movement.
there was already strong evidence of MI6 involvement
Really? I guess we can't all be edgy teenagers larping as communists.
Sorry. Some of us get awfully prickly when somebody comes in saying things we know aren't true. Even when it's very recently proven stuff—like how we now definitively know that the Hungarian "revolution" was a CIA-backed operation. The USSR correctly clocked it as American intervention, and responded like you'd expect a country to during a foreign invasion.
I appreciate you engaging in good faith.
Interestingly enough it also casts a new light on the 1956 incidents in Poznań. Sure there were a legit worker protests around there too, but also a riot purposefully targeting armories, militia precints and court buildings, being strongly suspected of being instigated by some outside parties (even incredibly anticommunist Polish wikipedia mentions this!), all this during the big international trade expo happening in the same city.
And I get awful prickly when people tell me that the uncle that left Hungary after '56 was either a CIA asset or a useful idiot.
I mean yeah, keep your defenses up, I'm sure every asshole has their day trolling here, but wow is it harsh. I guess I have to learn to frame questions here rather than statements.
Edit: Sry for the first pargrapgh, I was still a little frazzled from the hazing.
