"Why is /r/communism allowed, but not /r/nazism?" -- by far the worst thread I've seen on Reddit in YEARS.
"Why is /r/communism allowed, but not /r/nazism?" -- by far the worst thread I've seen on Reddit in YEARS.
Found it linked on SubredditDrama. Here's what they linked: (just to clarify this isn't my write up except for the unquoted parts, I stole expropriated it straight from the SRD post)
Link to full thread. Honestly, there's no real reason to do highlights since the craziest of comments are mostly upvoted, but anyway
"My family is Ukranian and Communism killed over 6 million of us, more than the number of Jews that were killed during the Holocaust." Bonus "why is there no r/askanazi"
(I really wish I could tell this person that the Nazis were at best going to deport 2/3rds of the Ukrainian population to Siberia).
One user thinks it's Chinese influence over Reddit. Also claims fascism died in 1945 with the fall of Nazi Germany and no Fascist state has been allowed to exist since.
"Because our school system does not teach the evils of communism." Galactic sized brain user responds with "It not so subtly promotes it".
(probably the closest thing to a true statement in the thread) :reddit-logo: :reddit-logo: :reddit-logo:
"Stalin killed 7 times more people than Hitler and Mao killed at least 20 times more people than Stalin" Upon being asked for a source, another user replies with "Yeah. Ask for sources. Very obscure fact that you would probably never be able to find. I wonder why we don’t get any of this in our beloved schools and universities?"
I, too, remember when Mao killed the entire population of modern day China, then the entire population of modern day India for good measure.
Upon someone pointing out communism is just an economic ideology, OP claims it's not because communists want to destroy religion and "the family". Says they're still doing it in today in capitalist countries through Cultural Marxism. Goes on to say it promotes "feminism, the LGBT movement, promotion of fornication, promotion of degeneracy in general, etc."
Bonus: The original poster is a fucking creationist.
The entire thread is AWFUL. Every comment. I'm sorry for not having screenshots. But this garbage fire needs to be witnessed in person.
A silver lining is that the SRD thread is actually somewhat nuanced and fair. Usually SRD goes galaxy-brained succdem mode whenever communism comes up.
Nah, you know what? I don't hate myself enough to read that thread. Thanks for the write up tho
Yeah, I've already done plenty of psychic damage for the month looking at reddit for barely a minute a few days ago, I swear people on there have only gotten shittier and more reactionary.
Stalin killed 7 times more people than Hitler and Mao killed at least 20 times more people than Stalin
So Stalin killed 7 people with his own hands? And Mao strangled 140 landlords to death? Impressive.
If hitler only killed the 6 million Jews who died in the holocaust, Mao would have had to kill 840 million people. If Mao killed all 100 million people that anti-communists accuse Marxism of killing, Hitler only would have killed 700,000.
One by one, in a ring match. Such stamina
