You can very easily find places with hordes of self proclaimed nazis on the internet, yet average Westerners have a hard time believing that places such Ukraine could have a legitimate Nazi problem.
I AM THE REVOLUTION THAT IS APPROACHING

Gotta give serious credit to China for staying laser focused on doing what is best at the right time and not letting these brats provoke them into acting rash.
Seriously, diaper wearing brat son of a billionaire vs someone who has witnessed and now leads an ancient civilization that risen out from a century of humiliation into being a global superpower.
This was something I asked about before crossing over into becoming an ML too.
Let’s say for the sake of the argument that Black Lives Matter launched a revolt against the US government and managed to overthrow it. Christian Nationalist Trump supporters wouldn’t just all spontaneously disappear the moment the US federal government itself collapses. Mostly likely they would organize into underground militias and engage in terrorism and whatever subversion they could against the new government BLM would try to establish. Do you do nothing when those people like that are going around bombing and shooting people and attempting to regain power or do you utilize the state the stop them with so called “purges”?
In the Soviet Union it’s also worth noting that there was also some people cases with people such as Nikolai Yezhov who were people with hidden right wing agendas inside the NKVD that carried out excess purges with the intent of facilitating anger against the Soviet government.
So the short answer is that yes the Great Purge did happen, but most purged were outlaw remnants and underground cells left over from the Russian civil war as opposed to just random people on the street caught saying nasty things about Stalin like propaganda implies. The number killed is also greatly exaggerated by propaganda, closer to around 600,000 rather then the 40-60 million that comes from the Black Book of Communism.
Seriously. Abandoning reddit, facebook etc feels like retiring from some god awful shit job.
Idk, honestly the things I see IRL seem to line up rather well with what I see on youtube and reddit. When taking a trip to the beach I saw some farmer or whoever with Ukrainian and Israeli flags running nonstop on 5 miles of property. And of course every other vehicle I see on the road has “PROUD US MILITARY VETERAN” or some form of US military/police worship stamped onto it.
