I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    My only point is that your statement that:

    There’s no confusion here, the US Empire was the evil side in the Cold War, and evil won out.

    Is just flat out wrong… there is a tremendous amount of confusion. I can’t even get you to understand this one simple point. Ive said it multiple times.

    Good night young man

      I’m aware that the standard opinion in western countries is pro-imperialist and anti-communist. Among the actual hard data we have, it’s irrefutable that socialist countries have been responsible for the greatest improvements in quality of life for the greatest number of people in the shortest timespan possible. It’s also irrefutable that the USSR was de-escalationary the entire Cold War while the US Empire was for escalation, considered dropping over a dozen nukes on Korea, etc. These are documented and accessible facts.

      You have no idea how old I am, either, you just wanted to add a condescending jab because I refused to dox myself.

        Whatever… youre fully indoctrinated into your bit. Thats fine. But you can’t even just focus on something simple. I have no idea how old you are physically, but I think I understand well how old you are mentally.

          I’m not “indoctrinated,” I disagree with you firmly on something and have done the research and reading into it to make me confident in that. You insult my intelligence for disagreeing with you, while you provide nothing affirming your own point. It’s ridiculous.
