So when Vaush something or s another breadtuber says somethong edgy its just a joke but when a “tankie” does it the pretend like they cant understand options jokes.

Note: not that i care about defending Badempanada, just wanted to point out the hypocrisy

    Even as a joke stating that Stalin can willy-nilly put someone in gulag is only strengthening the myth of Stalin the dictator.

      I remember when one guy in the 1920 or 21 complained to Lenin that he have difficulties writing a book because distractions. Lenin, who wanted to get that book, ordered him send to sovchoz for a month to drink milk and write book. The guy went, drank some milk (probably a lot of milk), finished the book, thanked Lenin fot that, Lenin also liked the book.

      What a dictator.

      EDIT: I remembered, it was Ivan Skvortsov-Stepanov.

    I read that tweet as basically a subpar tankiejerk quote anyway, am I misinterpreting his intent or are the tankiejerkers just eating other anti-MLs

    Ive heard mediocre things about Badempanada, not that I care enough to watch his content, but this tweet of his is pretty cringe.

        I got blocked for pointing out the flaws of his “China zero Covid policy is dumb” take… I didn’t even get a pin of shame, he just straight up removed my comment and blocked me. That is just sad.

          yeah he’s pretty braindead with China generally, which is confusing because he’s so good at spotting made up bullshit by the US state department for every other country, but takes them at their word about China.
