There is a difference between loving a villainous character and living in an alternate reality where they are not the bad guy of the story.
If you have to bend over backwards to try and make it like your favorite character did no wrong or malign heroic characters so you can pretend that they are the villains of the story instead than perhaps you are stanning the wrong character.
i’ve been saying this about every villain in movies, books, and video games since Spiderman 3′s take on Sandman
Dr. Liliana Stern, associate professor of economics at Auburn University, joins Jeff Deist in studio to discuss the realities of life under communism. Growing up in Ukraine, Dr. Stern experienced privations that would be unthinkable to her undergraduate students. Even today, hot running water remains a rationed luxury in the region.
A Kid Tries To Sell Socialism To Former Soviet Citizen
“American Betrayal is America’s lost history, a chronicle that pits Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight David Eisenhower, and other American icons who shielded overlapping Communist conspiracies against the investigators, politicians, defectors, and others (including Senator Joseph McCarthy) who tried to tell the American people the truth.”
“American Betrayal shatters the approved histories of an era that begins with FDR’s first inauguration, when “happy days” are supposed to be here again, and ends when we “win” the Cold War. It is here, amid the rubble, where Diana West focuses on the World War II–Cold War deal with the devil in which America surrendered her principles in exchange for a series of Big Lies whose preservation soon became the basis of our leaders’ own self-preservation. It was this moral surrender to deception and self-deception, West argues, that sent us down the long road to moral relativism, “political correctness,” and other cultural ills that have left us unable to ask the hard questions.“
Diana West is a journalist and the author of “The Death of the Grown-Up: How America’s Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization,” “American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character” and “The Rebuttal: Defending ‘American Betrayal’ from the Book-Burners.” Website: http://dianawest.net

Socialists don’t want to admit their ideology is failed and horrific. Over 100 years of Socialist governments and zero success stories. Even the PRC woke up and said okay you can have a free market.
She says truth. In short, people were executed for an attempt to leave USSR. Same as in any other commie regime in history. Once you understand why it isn’t a coincidence, you understand that Socialism=Coercion.
One thing she describes is a tactic used more and more commonly in recent times by the Left: Accuse your opposition of what you yourself are most guilty of.
Communists always try to destroy the people’s roots and identity! Like what they are doing now with the lie that biological sex and gender are not the same. Fact is they are. Their corrupt ideologues based their information on their ideology and hatred for natural normal majority.
Democratic socialism does not fix the inherent problems in socialism. Most people are corrupt to some level, and most corrupt people work get into government for the powers. That is why government powers should be very limited and need checks and balances. That why the concept of 100% equal rights is important, such as the right to keep and bear arms, property rights, the right to bodily intake and exclusion, the right to freedom of speech, due process of law, the US Bill of Rights, no doubt more. … The problem with Marxism, socialism, communism, call it what you want, is the redistribution of property requires someone to do the redistribution, which becomes an unequal right, now people in government can make arbitrary decisions over the people. It is worse when the government controls all means of production. … The US is going downhill towards more socialism unfortunately. Such people such as senator Bernie Sanders has a massive bribes for votes schemes. I can only speak against it and hope that the people don’t fall for B.S.
the situation is now reversed. The West is now being brainwashed while the former Communist Bloc is developing and holding strong to the Orthodox morals. The former Soviet Union now is inching forward while the West, especially America is falling backwards!
Students now a days act like they’ve know oppression when in fact MOST cases if not all of them, don’t know shit.
They want to act like “oh if we spread everything equally then it would be great” but they fail to see that then you have no room to grow truly. You’d have no prosperity, it would be everyone is equal monetarily speaking. They think “oh what did they know” and try to make up some bullshit excuse, hell I had one guy try to tell me the socialism we would have had under Sanders would have “not been as corrupt as the USSR”. Its scary to see these people refuse the lessons of history, its almost to the point that they want WW3, that they want the world to collapse from under them.
