    Inside a westerner there are two wolves.

    One is Mussolini, the other is Hitler.

    Lol, what about Stalin, Lenin and McCartney? One should never leave out the Beatles.

    The idea of being ashamed of being born somewhere is just weird, as is trying to draw any sort of meaningful distinction between west and east like that. It’s like being mad at someone else because of astrology or something.

      A bigotry they “coincidentally” share with right wing nationalists.

      The West can be a valid concept, though. It’s not a boolean like this person describes - it’s not that you are Western or you aren’t - but that it can be used to meaningfully describe a series of related cultural influences in a country’s history. Greek culture, the Roman Empire, the Catholic Church and those it gave birth to (🤢), the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the advance of capitalism in the Industrial Revolution. Arguably, the European colonial empires and then subsequently American international hegemony have been an exporter of Western culture as well, though, especially in the former case, not always to willing recipients.

    It’s strange how they resent and speak ill of liberals more than conservatives/fascists.

    I really am curious how many of them are just joking/in on the circle jerk. Surely not all of them can truly be this weird and delusional right?.. It’s got to be just weird 4chan with a communist cosplay theme for at least some of them.

      The admins regularly vet users who they think are trolling

          Again, the admins regularly vet their users to make sure they’re legitimate and not someone pretending to be a communist

            I’m sure they do. Just like I’m also sure it’s not hard to act like a brainwashed tanky for some luls.
