I apparently skipped level ??? and went straight to believing the Black Book is fascist propaganda. I didn’t realize I was supposed to stan Pol Pot first!

      It’s disgusting that this sentiment has become so normalized; even Russians who just want to go on steam to buy video games have to put up with this hateful rhetoric (and ironically by people in the Imperial core no less).

      How people from countries that participated in America’s vicious military efforts can unironically say something like this I’ll never understand. Legit, we should be the last people on the planet to refer to the people of any other nation as ‘warmongering creatures’. There were people literally publicly begging Trump to pardon war criminals before he left office.

        One of the stated goals for the Chinese cloistering their internet from everyone else was to limit public engagement with anti-Chinese racism online. Most Chinese people in my experience have very positive opinions on America and Americans and imo it is because they don’t engage with the English speaking internet.
