Guys, I asked my parents how it was like living in the soviet union and they described how much it sucked, are they CIA spies? D:
Sorry, your parents lived reality is nothing compared to the cronically online tanky imagination.
A Ukrainian student told me this week about how their parents left Ukraine because of the war. They also explained that their family speaks Russian at home because their mother wasn't allowed to speak Ukranian.
I told them they're a very obvious psyop planted by the American media conglomerate. Russia has never oppressed a population and the only war is a hunt for the dangerous nazis of the Ukraine.
/s because you never fucking know anymore.
Deep-cover ๐
Most of one side of my family is all from Poland/Ukraine...they still will bring up stories about how bad it was. The fact that western kids want that back is just hilarious. They have no concept of how shit it was.
Im from lithuania, and have family from ukraine and other post soviet countries, every teacher, parent, uncle etc. I ever had has talked about how life back then was, I even knew some older people who experienced life in the gulags
The fact people think life in the USSR was better than the US or whatever western country they want to go against that day is wild to me
Yep, it's not like people who lived through that shit aren't alive. So I have no clue how tankie shits like cowbee and desilines (sp?) can be so brainwashed to think the west is worse living conditions than the ussr.
Oh look I'm in a screenshot :D
I love how the guy asking me to name a more successful iteration of socialism than the USSR couldn't be bothered to wait like 4 hours
Next time cite sweden (1980 Olof Palme), it was regarded as the only socialist success, by the russians... Or so the "joke" went back in the day.
I mean, they did mention Ukrainian anarchists. They'd been pretty successful until they got backstabbed by Bolsheviks
Every SSR supported keeping the Soviet Union if not for BIA intervention?
Motherfucking red fash scum.
And the scoundrel even claims that the "majority did not" want to end the USSR.
These people are beyond any hope.
Just like the majority of people in Crimea want to be part of russia. They made a survey, after all /s
They liked the USSR and only the CIA brought it down! Then revisionists made sure that everyone thinks it was bad to live in the USSR!
Imagine saying "the Reign Of Terror was the most successful iteration a republic."
You could argue that's not indicative of secular democracy itself - but you are not gonna sway any monarchists. You have to honestly acknowledge when every revolution has gone tits-up.
They are as narcissistic and entitled as the magats.It would be hilarious if they weren't so self-destructive and dangerous to everyone around them.
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. โ Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech โ You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia โ (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism โ No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion โ Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading โ If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way, this includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
