Obviously, I have no evidence nor doubts
Not where I am. It also doesn’t turn up anything in Google.
If I’m gonna be real, it’s not something most anglos would come up with. The word “evidence” evokes a lab or a courtroom where assertions without evidence are taboo. It come across as incredibly irreverent because it evokes a set of norms and then immediately violates them.
I really love it and am going to start using it.
Socialist fraternal kiss of death.
Today in China, the word comrade means gay. Don’t know how the change happened but it had to start as irony.

I might be wrong but I think the word “tovarisch” in Russian has more connotations than just the socialist kind. I think it’s also just a polite form of addressing someone, like saying sir or ma’am now. But communists in the USSR preferred it as their form of address. And it gets translated into English as comrade because that’s the word French revolutionaries would use.
