actually one of the things about perpetually online ppl that rly annoys me is how they blindly adopt communism as an inverse of capitalism and call themselves a "communist" (i mostly see this w gen z age ppl that live in the us) as a way to say that they hate america when they really have no idea how badly communism decimated eastern european countries and their possibilities to grow into a stable economic state

#i joke abt this but it's literally the truth: communism made me autistic #in the very late 90s when ukraine had just separated from the ussr they were very much a third world country #vodka and alcohol was cheaper and more available than fresh water and it resulted in many children being born with #fetal alcohol syndrome and other birth defects and this of course led to orphanages being overcrowded and underfunded #in the orphanage where i was kept before i was adopted the nurses and aides didnt even have real baby food to feed us #they gave us watered down tea and broth for food and ofc this made us malnourished on top of whatever other issues we had health wise #so the next time you want to be super edgy or whatever actually take some time to critically think about the long term effects that communi #has had in our society and in countries that have not had the ability to thrive economically
