While I believe that people had differing opinions (they always do), I find it hard to accept that your anecdotal evidence speaks for all of the Baltic states populations that lived under the USSR.

By reducing everyone's arguments against you to, "you just read what you did on the internet, I talked to real people therefore my argument is more valid", the stance that you're trying to take is not rooted in good faith.

Perhaps being able to cite surveys or census data, or at least some form of statistic, would add some foundation to your argument.

Not to mention that for us, these personal testimonies are just more statements read on the internet. By the standard set, we should treat them no differently to any other information found on the internet.

This good enough for you?

The Baltic states are pretty clearly in the camp of the collapse not being a bad thing.

They are also pretty clearly in the camp of bootlicking US imperialism including participating in their wars, supporting neonazism and celebrating original nazism.

That's how I know I made a good point, when the only thing you reply with is "But they're nazis".

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you're a Nazi sympathiser, too?

Ah you seemed such a normal guy in the other chain, sucks that you're such an asshole here.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I'll take that as a yes.

Yes, nazis, people famously known for their lack of bias against communism, which is completely based on rational thought /s

Shitting your own pants and admitting you stan for nazis is not a "good point", it's terrible one.

Your lack of reading comprehension does not make me a "stan for nazis".

Yawn. Follow your leader.
