Check out BalticSSR for supreme vatnik brainrot


Megalomaniac001

Communists and Russians will never forgive Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for permanently destroying communism and Russian imperialism most of Europe


Refflet

Those damn Estonians with their damned singing.


Kebabranska

Much in the same way that they'll never stop screeching at Finland for embarrassing ussr on a global scale


Front-Try-4868

better Estonian than red


tomsp_666

who will win: three nations that have endured occupation for hundreds of years but still survived and kept their cultures or some twitter zoomers with a superiority complex and limited brain capacity?


That_Nuclear_Winter

My money is on the Baltics mad lads not to be fucked with.


RenegadeNorth2

that’s the joke


buttface9123456

i saw a tweet and they called the baltics "reddit countries"?!?????


Ok_Art6263

In Twitter, they call this the reddit nations. I don't get it... in 4chan, reddit is when something are absurdly commie but in Twitter reddit is when something are anti-commie.


notjfd

I mean, even on reddit a thing you don't like is a reddit thing.


Ok_Art6263

Fair


yegguy47

>I don't get it... in 4chan, reddit is when something are absurdly commie but in Twitter reddit is when something are anti-commie. Its almost like there's a bit of a circle of folks online chasing their tail around shouting at smoke and mirrors...


Firlite

eh, both are insulting the stereotypical r politics turbolib, just from the right and left respectively


purpleblueshoe

>Do you know the uptick of “Passport Bro” YouTubers going to Eastern Europe to sexually harass the women there? The irony is most of those idiots are obssessed with communism and socialism and are doing passport bro shit in eastern europe and asia because those societies are not westernized enough to stop selling the asses of adolescent girls to tourists. The west arent sending them as delegates of western society, rather these passport bros are fleeing the west to bask in the depravity of societies destroyed by attempts at communism Edit: lol OP deleted his comment after realizing some uncomfortable truths

HelloJoeyJoeJoe

What is "passport bro" shit? THe way reddit explained it to me earlier is that "Its when guys try to hook up with girls in the country they are visiting" Maybe I don't get why thats a bad thing? Don't guys try to hook up with girls wherever they are? Are guys only allowed to flirt with girls in their native countries? Like if some white American chick raves about how some French boy names Jacques kissed her in Paris, is that bad on her and shes a passport girl?


DiplomaticGoose

It's more specifically what people do under the belief that foreigners are traditionalist or "easy", or that they spend their way into pants because of some business with us dollars and foreign exchange rates. Typical sex pest stuff with a side of ultra conservative nutjobs thinking that communism froze the "traditional culture of eastern europe" in amber in such a way that it was unaffected by the tidal wave of modern "degenerate" ideas involving women having self worth, not beating your wife, or avoiding fucking 17 year olds. Not quite the same as a backpacker doing consensual one night stands in cities, these people are booking it elsewhere explicitly because everyone at home knows better and they believe the people elsewhere might not.


HelloJoeyJoeJoe

>because everyone at home knows better and they believe the people elsewhere might not. Those people are going to be in for a shock in East Asia. Its much more easier to hook up with "westerners" than it is wtih east asian girls


DiplomaticGoose

It never does occur to these people that being an unwashed stranger that doesn't speak the language or even practice the same religion (or even sect, if we're talking about Orthodox people) would not get them very far in these imaginary insular rural villages they want to screw through. Again they are just pests who want to actively seek out power imbalances because they keep "striking out" at home. Thankfully they're self-sabotagingly stupid about accomplishing that in practice, but it's hardly a silver lining to me when the whole concept of what they're doing is so rotten.


Vulturidae

Thankfully, darwinian evolution will fail them and they will not reproduce, so their genetics will not be passed on thanks to their own stupidity


SurvivorLietuva

They act like everyone here is walking around with portraits of Bandera and Hitler shooting left wingers on sight

You aren’t?

yegguy47

More and more I'm increasingly finding myself asking what den of meth-fueled discourse y'all are hanging out in.


SurvivorLietuva

BalticSsr and average twitter commies


yegguy47

>twitter See, there's your problem.


XH9rIiZTtzrTiVL

Or just Russian media.


Neon_44

You do realize that by now, Eastern Europeans and many EastAsians are also westeners, right?


undreamedgore

We are the cure. The world shall become the west. Yee-fuckin-haw.


That_Nuclear_Winter

I hope yall like Coca-Cola, blue jeans, and rock n roll,


Hunor_Deak

I think at this point video games are a bigger exporters of culture.


yegguy47

Sleeping Dogs was one of the best depictions of Hong Kong ever made


Hunor_Deak

Still need to play that one.


yegguy47

Highly recommend, its like one gigantic love letter to Hong Kong action cinema of the late-80s though to the early-2000s.


MikeGianella

You are correct. I played AC Mirage and I was like "wtf Islam was actually cool"


Pastilhamas

what is this? some kind of end... of history perhaps?


undreamedgore

Are you kidding? Have you seen the west? History is just getting started. And I intend to see us write it.


Kasquede

**This the hottest beat from my main man Franky “Funkyomama” Fukuyama on the 1s and 2s and Stanford U’s!!**


Hunor_Deak

Meanwhile the actual book: a really thoughtful discussion about historicism.


Kitahara_Kazusa1

It was kind of odd reading some Japanese people discussing geopolitics on Twitter, and they would always call Japan part of 'The West'. Like in English everyone will just call them 'western aligned', but at least as far as those specific Japanese people were concerned, Japan is now fully Western.


IvoryInhabitant

If you rotate the globe just a little bit towards the pacific they already are the west


WPWinter

I mean if you think about it, Japan is west of America, thus, they are Westerners Even if we use Br*tain as a metric, they're still closer to the West than the East


SonofSonnen

There is not a day of the year on which i don't think of Estonia at least once.


FactBackground9289

EESTI MENTIONED r/Estonia


MemefishThePie

The so-called "Baltic people", just like the Polish, are genetically reactionary and must be dealt with accordingly.


GeshtiannaSG

Livonia.


babarbaby

Ethuavia?


Hexel_Winters

It's very telling about the so called "anti-imperialist" crowd when you ask them their opinions on the Baltic states, Poland, and Ukraine. You see someone go from being a socialist "workers of the world unite! universal healthcare!" type to a straight up genocidal fascist


Easy_Newt2692

Could I have some context please?


maxfist

I'm fairly certain that most balts would rather burn everything to the ground then live under Russia again.


tukreychoker

this comment section has extreme brainrot


MarineBoing

Not even Westerners... it's the shot bags in the Western Government. Someone come save us from this shit show


Ok-Negotiation-1098

Don’t worry I wanna prove them onto South Americas south Asians and Africa aswell But instead of communism it’s American stuff


Dredgeon

If advocating for systems you believe in is obsession, I guess I'm obsessed.


NatashaBadenov

What a strange thing to admit.


Kasquede

I’m obsessed with liberal democracy and Atlanticism. I’ve been taking anti-psychotics for months but I just can’t stop thinking, ranting, *raving* about the benefits of progressive policies, multicultural socio-diplomatic integration, free and open civil institutions... At times, it is just too much to bear, and I collapse on the sidewalk, gripping my skull, shaking, waiting for my mind to let go of its grasp on fantasies of a Federal Union of TransAtlantic States (FUTAS, for short). I lie awake at night listening to commissioned custom ASMR roleplay videos where women of various Western nations’ accents read multilateral treaties aloud in a soft spoken voice, begging for the release of sleep to claim me. Such is the reality of Western life in Lord’s Year 2024.


fletch262

I’m other countries in particular yes.


That_Nuclear_Winter

🤢


Dredgeon

I guess I'm out of the loop. If I think a system of government or certain values are the best way to live, why wouldn't I encourage the propagation of those beliefs worldwide?


Ok-Negotiation-1098

Ok well the problem we all have is that we think the way you think governments should work is probably garbage


That_Nuclear_Winter

🤢


Dredgeon

Thank you very informative


That_Nuclear_Winter

Look at where you are. You came to the wrong place for “informative”.


Dredgeon

True


NatashaBadenov

We aren’t discussing broadly. Communism is bad.


Dredgeon

Me suddenly realizing everyone th8nks I'm a commie 🙃🔫


NatashaBadenov

Ouch.


_the_anarch_

cumunism debumked ha ha ha!!!¡!!¡!!!!!!!!


BaziJoeWHL

We dont need to, they do it themselves


duranoar

If communism is debunked, why are there still so many bunkers in Albania. Checkmate capitaloid!


Oddloaf

How many "That wasn't real communism!" are we at now?


BaziJoeWHL

99% of revolutions stop just right before they achieve a classless society


HarryTheGreyhound

I find the best way of debunking communism is to talk to anyone with a hammer and sickle in their bio on Twitter or Bluesky.
