    Anti-Communist believe in a completely fictious version of Lenin where he was a fascist god who did a ton of horrible things that have been lost to history, thus explaining why there’s not much you can say about him, and created the idea of communism with all the death that implies.

      I find it’s a toss up with Lenin. They either think he was another “evil commie dictator” just like Karl Marx, or they’ll say that he had good ideas in theory but was evil murder-killed by Stalin, thus proving communism doesn’t work.

    Yeah, I’ve been seeing a lot of 1984 ads because Audible released (is releasing?) a super cinematic audiobook version of it with a bunch of famous actors like Andrew Garfield (he gets tortured and people are going feral over the whimpering he does).

      Man, you reminded me of something…A couple of months ago, maybe 2-4, there was this stupid ‘‘presentation’’ from escuálidos, Venezuelan gusanos, out in Times Square, and they brought their own VR headsets, talking about probably at most 30 people pestering passerbies (can’t believe that ain’t a word), and the idea was that you’d wear the headset and have a VR ‘‘experience’’ of being ‘‘tortured’’ in the Helicoide, a prison in Venezuela.

      The thing is, this is like the Uyghur bullshit, it’s the same MO, cause all they have are drawings, ‘‘testimonies’’, basically hearsay and rumors from ‘‘political prisoners’’ (all convicted for pulling shit, but the second they’re caught they become ‘‘political prisoners’’). Like, that is literally it. There’s nothing there, no hard proof. I’ve seen those clowns and they don’t have a scratch on themselves and some even got out of that prison fatter or jacked up. It made me laugh when I saw it cause they went and made one of those infamous Steam greenlight shitty ‘‘games’’ to feel tortured cause it’s all they got.

        Oh what a strange world we live in! I can’t imagine what it was like to experience in person. Just hearing about it is making me die of second hand embarrassment.
