Not even joking, redditors literally blame Russia for Malcon X being assassinated in these comments.
Antiquated slur used in neutral context
“When the south has a problem with it’s negroes, they blame the north. When the north has a problem with it’s negroes, they blame the Kremlin.”
90% of that thread deserves :gamer-gulag:
What’s their reasoning behind it?
American police officers agreed with Russian propaganda
But Russian propaganda at the time was all about how bad America was and how racist Americans were and how the glorious Soviet Union didn’t have those problems. If the cops “agreed” with it then they would have been on Malcolm X’s side.
I mean there were cops accused of being agents of Lenin back in the cool days, which is incredibly funny to think about.
Edit: actually reading the page info and it makes me a bit bummed out at seeing how policing in america had its transformation into an institution of murderous thumbs stem from this event
Idk if you knew this but assassination is right out of Russia’s playbook and famously they are the only country to have ever assassinated someone
Don’t look this up
Edit: Hold on, let me unblock some people so I can prepare for the deluge of conspiracy nutter trolls who will definitely Wikipedia me to death with bullshit and utilize every fallacy of argument possible in order to avoid what I actually said in order to build a strawman they can burn more easily. Bring on the downvotes, bullshit cultists.
none.
Just wanna credit “GeekFurious” for being a living archetype of why talking to liberals is insufferable.
"Meanwhile, the KGB was actively stoking divisions everywhere they could find it in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.
And Russia has never really stopped. They’re really good at it… hence why many westerns continuously blame western agencies for what Russian intel groups are responsible for…"
… and later when called out on this baseless implication of Soviet responsibility"What claims? I didn’t claim anything. Do you understand the meaning of the words you use? See, you CLAIMED Russia “had nothing to do with it.” You didn’t say they may not have, or most likely didn’t. You said they didn’t. THAT is a claim. "
Too stupid to pay attention to what they themselves are saying, but smug enough to still condescend about it.
