      as if it ever stopped.

      the amount of times i’ve seen people conflate russia with communism+soviet union and vice versa despite the butchering of the ussr and modern day russia being anything but communist is just mindblowing and enraging.

      I looked up the Simpsons “USSR comes back” clip on YouTube the other day. It was full of comments like “wow the Simpsons really called it!”
