      Nooo, facing those questions would be forcing myself to try to start understanding the contradictions of what I’ve been taught my whole life, that my privilege comes directly from exploitation of the global south, and that pretty much every aspect of my existence has been commodified from where I drive and walk to regularly, when I have sex, what kind of books I read and movies/tv/Youtube videos I watch to what I wear, eat, drink, say, feel, think, love, hate, and everything inbetween…

      How could being a westerner really be that bad? My life is great! 😁

        What an odd way to say “most of the people who actually lived in the Soviet Union agree it was better.”

            The post is quite literally about a victims of communism memorial that had to be taken down because it was mostly Nazis. Do you read posts before you comment?

                Doesn’t really change the fact that you are commenting on a post where it is explicitly about a “victims of communism” memorial and it turns out the best they could do was a bunch of Nazis which sort of flies in the face of your whitewashing attempt in your comment don’t you think?

                Also victims of communism is a ridiculous framing but that’s more of a tangent.
