A hilarious cope article from The Hill - eviltoast

In a rather ironic twist, as Europe slips into recession and Russia’s economy flourishes, we see articles attempting to assert that Russia will suffer from losing its ties with the West.

This demonstrates an astonishing lack of understanding on behalf of Western nations towards the Global Majority and their ability to thrive without reliance on the West.

Likewise, the analogies drawn with the Cold War are utterly baseless, as the situation today is diametrically opposed - during the Cold War, the West was the dominant economic powerhouse, while now it is the BRICS that hold sway.

    A participant dressed in Red Army World War II uniform in the role of a military traffic controller takes part in a theatrical performance

    That’s… That’s literally just a guy in winter clothes???

    What level of Cold War-themed brain bugs do you need to have to start hallucinating members of the Red Army walking through the streets of D.C. on a cold January morning?

      It’s becoming pretty clear that the fact that USSR was communist had little to do with anything. What US hated the most is that they had competition, and now that Russia is no longer communist, they just use the same narrative because to them it does not matter.

      Russia was so poor back then that anyone not in the army had no clothes at all! You really should know these things if you profess to be a leftist. Tisk tisk and I give this comment two and a half Pinocchios.

      Based on my advanced Hat Ideology Technology (Hatideonology), one of the children from South Park is a communist. It’s the Jewish one. Kyle is a (Judeo-Bolshevik) communist.

      I felt fucking filthy writing that. But I don’t doubt that was those libertarian shitholes’ intent. Wowza, am I ever off on a tangent.

      Anyway fuck South Park.

        Seriously? I’m 42. I teach in a College and work in research in University. I have a master’s degree from U of Montreal and a Doctorate from Concordia. I’ve read more books then you will in your entire life. My mom is from a first nation community and my dad is a french canadian. I think this sub is fucking pathetic. I’m not sure what exactly Chappo Lemmygrad is, but it’s seems you people need them to tell you what to think. You guys are behaving EXACTLY like Trump supporters: privilege white people behaving like they are better then everyone. Toxic AF. Wannna tell me about you? Did you ever accomplished anything interesting or do you just tell people on the internet they suck to make you feel good?
