You gotta be fucking trolling, what fucking western liberal democracies? France?

The US, Britain. France.

Western Europe was almost all constitutional monarchies until the end of WW2 and even then what fucking backing of Tsarist Russia?

The US, France, Britain, and other countries literally invaded the USSR to try to restore the monarchy.

Also who the fuck is trivialising the holocaust now by mentioning it in the same breath as pogroms, as if the scale and systematic nature of the former don’t make them completely disanalogous?

My point is that the amount of antisemitism in the soviet union wasn't even approaching the level of pogroms, which was much smaller scale than the holocaust.

I reiterate my former point: Fuck off tankie scum.

Why don't you call me woke next, CHUD.
