dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

He is also quoted as saying [blahblahblahbollocksbollocksbollocks]

No he isn't. Maybe you should actually verify instead of spreading complete and utter bullshit with such confidence?

Let's not fall into the trap of either lionizing or demonizing historical figures.

Yet here we are, with you attempting to demonise a historic figure by spreading bullshit.

responsible for the deaths of a lot of innocent people.

Every single US president in world history is too. Every single supporter of capitalism is responsible for 100million deaths every 5 years, what's your point? You're making an emotional attempt to demonise in one breath while pretending otherwise in the next.

You're full of shit mate.

If you read my comment properly, I specifically said "he is quoted as saying ...", which is undeniably true.

Saying that that Stalin was a brutal and paranoid man, amongst other things is a historically accurate statement.

If you think I'm promoting the standard, one dimensionals view that Stalin was evil incarnate, then you have completely failed to understand my point.

He is quoted as saying something he didn't say. It is undeniably true that words where put in his mouth

I think we get your point

Oh fuck off. Weasel words. How fucking slimey are you?

Stalin was a soft kind grandpa compared to Lenin.

I like how the people actively pursuing plots against Stalin then also criticize him for being paranoid. I would be paranoid too if all of the richest people and institutions in the world were organizing nazi collaborator opposition against me.

like his best friend was killed by foreign agents, who wouldn't be paranoid to hell?
