    You think this angry, name calling, emotional person is schooling me? I’m a progressive on paper, the Bernie Sanders kind and they’re calling me a Nazi. I’m shocked people would give this type of person a second of thought.

    Feel free to ask them about Mao “accidentally” killing 30-50 million people with STARVATION in the name of their oh so beautiful system.

    What about throwing musicians and professors in prison for speaking out against the overbearing government?

    How about Tiananmen Square?

    Does this person even know what these events are? The government actively covers it up to this day. The millennial generation doesn’t even know what these are because it’s forbidden.

      Correct. Are you pro genocide like Bernie too?

        No. That’s why I usually say I’m a progressive on paper, but no modern politician represents that definition despite what they may call themselves. I like that Bernie would invest in the environment and tax the shit out corporations and billionaires though.

            Anonymnity is a primary cause for the higher rate of insults in online comments compared to in-person interactions, driven by the “online disinhibition effect”. This phenomenon, where users feel unchained from typical social standards, leads to increased toxicity, lack of accountability, and dehumanization of others.

            Whatever eats at you, I hope improves. We’re all in this life together.

      Fuck off back to reddit with this debatebro crap. I’m under no obligation to be nice to your racist ass. And why would I be? Multiple people have tried talking to you in good faith and got dismissed them out of hand. I’m not here to debate you, I’m here to tell you to fuck off.

      I’m a progressive on paper, the Bernie Sanders

      So, a capitalist. And you’re expecting communists to give you props for that?

      Feel free to ask them about Mao “accidentally” killing 30-50 million people with STARVATION in the name of their oh so beautiful system. What about throwing musicians and professors in prison for speaking out against the overbearing government? How about Tiananmen Square?

      Lol. I can see why you say you’re only progressive on paper. In practice you’re a standard western Cold War Warrior, repeating far right claims word for word. What argument are you even trying to make? None I suppose, just vomiting out talking points.

      Does this person even know what these events are?

      Yes, you racist fucking vermin.

      The millennial generation doesn’t even know what these are because it’s forbidden.

      Bullshit
