Would you maybe elaborate? I think most westerners here, when not shitposting out of frustration at our own media ecosystem, do actually have nuanced views of the USSR and post-Soviet states, if you look at the more serious discussions. Maybe that’s wrong and we need to hear some criticism, in which case we only learn if you express your thoughts.
*no pressure, I should add, you don’t have to respond. I’m just saying if you want to I’m all ears
Do we really have to “both sides” everything when talking about former and present socialist states? “Sure, Jakarta was fucked up, but did you know that the USSR was no angel?”
Maybe in certain contexts? I don’t know what this person’s perspective is. But when someone says I’m ignorant I like to hear them out because I often am.
