Not even joking, redditors literally blame Russia for Malcon X being assassinated in these comments.
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.
I doubt there is any actual evidence of it, though. We’d be aware of it.
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.
just-world fallacy NPC with no self awareness, sad!
It’s always depressing watching America trying to figure out what they hate more. American hatred of civil rights era black peoples and American hatred of Red-scare era communism (and to a lesser extent all other non-white/anglo nations) is fascinating to me. Americans are truly the most propagandized people in general, we will hate whomever you tell us. Never the capitalists who actually make our lives terrible, it’s the uppity negros or the scheming commies .
It’s like watching them short-circuit as they try to fit all of their ignorance and hateful rhetoric into one thought.
:fedposting: ”The Black Panthers are the biggest threat to American ‘national security’”
:maybe-later-kiddo: ”Actually, the FBI would never do that. Also the Black Panthers are tankies. Also, they’re social democrat liberals who would’ve voted for Biden and police reform today.”
:doomjak: the CIA documents about killing or wanting to kill civil rights leaders aren’t even classified anymore
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.”
