    Soviet propaganda was usually pretty apt. You don’t have to lie to come up with reasons America is a horrible place.

    One of the reasons we’re horrible is because conservatives actually used the fact that the Soviets criticized us for White Supremacy to dismiss Civil Rights as a communist plot.

      White Supremacy and gaslighting go hand in hand

      White Supremacists cannot operate using objective reality because they know their cause is objectively repulsive, even to them

      Most of their time in their meetings seem to revolve around discussing what not to say and how to sell their platform using alternative language that masks their true intentions

      Yes, competent propaganda doesn’t lie. There are enough reasons to badmouth any country out there, if you need to invent a completely fictitious narrative, you are just bad at it.
