I am currently in an argument (read: flinging insults at) a bunch of lemmy idiots who are arguing that Trump is beholden to the soviets. Pointing out that government hasn’t existed in 40 years has prompted the dumbest possible response I have ever seen (“this might surprise you but trump is over 40 years old”)
Point is people who think like this are barely sentient and it honestly disturbs me they are able to drive cars and trucks legally
I even kind of threw them a bone and said that “the criminals” running modern day Russia are explicitly not communists so would have different goals. And I was told that they are “basically the same”
Every day the world tries its hardest to drive me insane
ah, that type. those sorts believe communism is some kind of asiatic racial trait. that’s why it doesnt matter to them that russia isnt communist anymore, because you see, they’re still russian, and that’s the same thing.
If I had a nickel for every time I saw a reference to the penguins in the first madagascar movie in the last 24 hours I’d have two nickels
Which isn’t a lot, but it is weird it happened twice, especially considering if you expanded the timeframe from 24 hours to 5 years, I would instead have 3 nickels
“Psh, you think he’s beholden to the Soviets? Anyone with eyes in their head can see he’s clearly a puppet of Tojo and the empire of the rising sun- that is, if the Ottomans didn’t get to him first.”
I’ve met plenty of boomers who forgot that they won the cold war and destroyed the lives of many millions of working people. I’m absolutely positive that Trump has also forgotten that the USSR no longer exists. It’s not impossible that he’s still carrying out his orders.

For some type of person my interactions are just following the guide of the animal documentary called Madagascar.

To them communism is something the asiatic hordes do, and liberal democracy is what white people do. Their view of the world hasn’t changed since 1930
Probably smart but I am addicted to calling lemmy computer janitor libertarian idiots mean names. They don’t hear it enough so I have to do my part

Would be unironically very cool and funny.

Edit: …and that shit would be so funny.

Are they still on that bullshit about how he was a KGB asset called Krasnov?
My favorite part about that conspiracy theory is that Krasnov is the name of a general who fought against the Bolsheviks during the Russian civil war and later fought against them again on the side of the Nazis. Why the KGB would choose the name of someone who was incredibly anti Soviet as a codename for someone doing their dirty work for them is a mystery.
it’s what you’d least expect!
Oh is that why they kept saying that word? Lol yes
