Oh sweetie, they control less than half the territory they did at their peak.

It's the same shit with the tankies on Lemmy. They write these essays like they are payed per character and link the dumbest shit you can imagine. My favourite being some dude on youtube saying "It was the CIA, CIA man told me, trust me it's CIA man in trenchcoat, tiananmen square did not happen and if it did it was scary CIA man".
This sentiment is very common around the world. Every time something goes wrong it's not the government: "It's the USA/Europe/Jews! AAAARGH! They fear us so much! That's why they sabotage us all the time!" I hear this shit in my own family from time to time and it never stops being funny. I wish I could deep dive into an alternate reality like they do.
Tankies on Lemmy: "I am very critical of Putin's Russia. Now excuse me while I regurgitate Russian propaganda word for word"
I've been hit with the "that's not real communism" but never been provided a source for "real communism" whatever that is.
I mean tbqf Russia is explicitly a capitalist state and China is literally but less explicitly a capitalist state, no matter how many times tankies claim the PEOPLE'S billionaires are totally left praxis
"Regurgitate Putin's words, not his cum" - tankie saying.
Oh, Lemmygrad is like a zoo for crazy people, it's so much fun to go and wind them up.
And you're dead right about the absolute fucking treatsies they write in the comments section.
I mean, the USA and Europe did fuck lots of shit up during the cold war, let alone before then. Totally fair if people from South America, Africa and Asia are wary of us. No excuse for including jews though
Yeah, sure, but there's a difference between not wanting other nations interfering in your country's affairs (which is completely fair) and supporting Russia engaging in a blatantly imperialist offensive war just because they oppose "the West". That's just hypocrisy.
Speaking of which...
