What are some of your guys’ biggest red flags when it comes to talking to people about politics? (they don’t really know what they’re talking about) Personally one of mine is when people call the USSR Russia

    I don’t mind liberals equating USSR with Russia, not because it is factually accurate (it most certainly is not) but because they concede a common ground that western european aggression eastward precedes fall of the USSR and that current anglo-saxon geopolitics is an extension of nazism/lebensraum.

        And the fact we have to even use nazism as a “universal” proxy for what is considered evil says it all. One can imagine without german fascism seen as a competition against USAmerican and English imperial interests, and then the subsequent defeat of it by socialists, we wouldn’t even have that to use as a baseline (with Westerners) for what we would like to consider is not acceptable against humanity.
