@PunishedFredda I'd figure you for someone that generally doesn't like specific labels due to the sometimes ridiculous connotations that come with them. Things become very alienating and otherized when someone thinks they can pin an "opposing" label to someone.

I think some of you guys believe I'm a social democrat because you've gotten too used to people speaking like they're actively trying to avoid being put on a Stalin era list for secretly harboring revisionist tendencies.

for fuck sake FIGHT BACK

Have to do it to em

@IneptFredda Good example: the horribly failed invasion by the U.S. and their colonial allies at the outbreak of the Russian Civil War. Not a single one of my history teachers knew, most of them not believing me until they researched it or I showed them a source.

@IneptFredda The American education system is fucking atrocious though, with history provided through an exclusively political lense in order to create some coherent narrative of this nation being the "greatest on earth."
