    if we are talking about heavily propagandized policies enacted 100 years ago to try and curb imperialism, we could be talking about all the death bought upon them by the west.

    the us is the very last country that can talk about machine gunnings, because they were the ones sponsoring most of it through all of recent history, including and especially in the socialist countries you seem to hate so hard for… doing just that?

    americans and the brits did full on scorched earth in vietnam and china, and nowadays they have healthcare while you are still shooting up kids in schools. the us sponsored dictatorship throughout my entire continent. literally.

    talk about denying reality. i guess they don’t teach you world history for a reason. nononono everyone else is the fascist here.

      “You don’t understand, they HAD to gun down people for trying to escape our Socialist Paradise, or else Imperialism would win!”

      Impressive.

      Thanks for being utterly unable to contradict any of the points brought up that disprove your half-hearted attempt to defend the massacres of your favorite fascist states.

      the us is the very last country that can talk about machine gunnings, because they were the ones sponsoring most of it through all of recent history, including and especially in the socialist countries you seem to hate so hard for… doing just that?

      Cool, so you can back up the part where we were supposedly machine-gunning our own citizens to stop them from fleeing this capitalist hellhole, right? Since that was the topic brought up?

      Oh, wait, of course you can’t.

      americans and the brits did full on scorched earth in vietnam and china, and nowadays they have healthcare while you are still shooting up kids in schools.

      Oh, of course, having healthcare now justifies all of your fascist regime’s atrocities. By the way, would you like to elaborate on the economic systems of China and Vietnam in the modern day? You know, now that they have healthcare? Just curious.

      Also, when did the Brits do ‘full on scorched earth’ in China? 1901?

      He said that the Commie countries had many people wanting to leave, because they were shit holes. Which is true. Soviets broke our economies, killed our innocents (Milada Horáková) and hurt the people. Go to hell sov-tard
