    The reason the ‘So, your family suffered under “communism.” Why should I care?’ meme works so well is that the people communism oppressed were slaveowners, perpetrators and collaborators of genocide, and similar ghouls and/or goblins. You can’t really go and kill children with their mothers and laugh it off the same way, doesn’t work like that.

      Somehow, even while they were killing, imprisoning, exiling, and otherwise oppressing these gusanos, life expediencies were skyrocketing so much that it doesn’t show up in those statistics whatsoever soviet-hmm

      The reframing actually makes perfect sense to fascists. They think proud cruelty and punching down is the joke because that’s the kind of “humor” they use.

    It’s incredible that zionists want to play this smug, tough guy then simultaneously cry and shit their pants over students chanting and refusing to talk to them. Take away the support of western zealots and the farce of a country falls. A bunch of pathetic losers who should be shot.
