    Like I know people live inside of their own experiences and people will learn stuff through what they’re exposed to. But it took Elon Musk making a Nazi salute for this person to realize part of what we’ve been saying?

    Nevermind the American decimation of Korea, of Vietnam. Nevermind all the death squads sent into central and south America to install friendly dictators. What does this person make of the western backed genocide against Palestinians? Or the genocide against the Yemeni?

    There’s so much you’d have to ignore or apologize for if you’re not convinced western capitalism is a death machine.

      "…my brother did something bad and illegal to someone else for nationalistic reasons and I insisted he should face consequences, my mother responded with: “He’s your brother, you’re supposed to defend him! That’s the commie ‘justice and equality’, is it? Ah, I knew it.” Her words are also much stronger in Serbian, if you take the slur “komunjare” as well.)

      OP was raised by nationalists (i read it that way anyhow). I dunno how old OP is or the politics of their region but I give em’ credit for coming this far. If they’re admitting ‘socialists were right’ and outing their parent’s morals as “wrong” who knows what else they’ll come to learn?

        For real. They are one of Today’s Lucky 10,000. And it seems like they are figuring it out despite a complete immersion in a fascist family and culture. Croatia switched to an openly fascist government after the Yugoslavian tragedy. Good for them I say.
