Is it simply over-correcting in response to western anti-communist propaganda? I'd like to think it's simply memeing for memes sake, but it feels too genuine.

I would wager it’s as they don’t read actual historical documents of those who witnessed and survived Stalin, is why. Dude was bloody-minded as fuck, and in a tweenaged subset of the population, death, misery and degradations are “cool”.

The political flip side are the right-wing chuds that join ICE so they can tear families apart and “own” the left.

The worst tankie-argument I've encountered so far was "well gulags weren't that bad, only couple millions died", so I have to agree they haven't read a single thing about history of those times, but also it seems like there's something seriously wrong with these types of people just in general

This combined with "America bad, anything anti-america good"

I've had multiple arguments online with people regarding the Holodomor. They all found some way to blame it on the US or claim it was overexaggerated. Which is interesting, because there is absolutely no proof of either claim. If the US had somehow found a way to starve Ukraine specificially, the Soviet Union could've fixed that quite quickly, with this little invention known as the train.
