First of all, I love how goat decided that I must have been referring to the ‘Holodomor’ canard based on… nothing. Neither I nor Cowbee mentioned it in the thread, so I have no choice but to assume that goat simply picked this inference at random. Read the thread yourself if you don’t believe me; there are no fucking clues whatsoever that I must have been referring to that famine.
Second, LEL, as if we’d waste our time reporting anti-Bolshevist dullards on a piss bucket like Feddit.
Third, I have never seen anybody say that everything that the people’s republics did was ‘just fine’. Moscow’s abuse of gay men, for example, was obviously not fine, but if you tried to blame that on anything other than ‘Stalinism’ then I am guessing that anti-Bolshevists would misinterpret your alternative explanation as a justification. Same thing if you attributed a Soviet famine to anything other than ‘Stalinism’. That sure sounds like a knee-jerk reaction to me. Presumably goat & alia would beg to differ, but what their rationale would be is anybody’s guess.
Fourth, I hate to explain a joke, but I was making fun of anticommunists secretly being misogynist White supremacists, which includes a substantial portion of the death toll that they attribute to us.
Lastly — and most importantly — the implication that I do nothing other than ‘casual genocide denialism’ and metaphorically perform sexual favors for dictators is ironic since I regularly talk about extermination campaigns, yet users in most other instances are going to have trouble finding my topics thanks to goat’s aggressive campaign to convince nearly every instance to blacklist our communities. While concealing information is not the same thing as denial, what goat did was arguably worse than denial since now more people are going to be completely unaware of a tragedy that I’ve called the proto-Shoah, wherein European pogromniks exterminated over 115,000 Jews.
It’s too late for goat to undo all of that aggressive campaigning now. The administrators have already made up their minds. Nobody wants to spend hours sharing and tweaking all of my educational topics. And even if goat did share a few of them (which, believe it or not, I wouldn’t mind), goat would be unable to answer questions that others would have, and would most likely be unwilling to update the topics on demand, too. The damage is done. There is little that anybody can do to fix the mess that goat made. If goat ever reads this topic, I’d like to congratulate them: nobody will deny the Pomeranian massacres, the Finnish killings of Soviet prisoners, or the attack of Yekatit 12 since almost nobody will have any fucking clue what those even were in the first place… good choice.


Usually they respond to this with ‘but I didn’t mention anything about gay people’ and explain that anybody acting obsequious to a dictator should be shameful.
My question is, why should anyone resort to a sexual metaphor to emphasise that someone is acting obsequious? The only implication that I can draw from that is that sex is supposed to be disgraceful, which is presumably not what these dullards intend but the metaphor makes no sense elsehow. Sex — even if it be with a ‘dictator’ — should be understood merely as a private affair instead of a disgrace.
sucking dick is the most humiliating thing a person could ever do, it’s submissive (which is bad) and the only reason someone would do it is to show subservience to someone, to lift someone up by degrading yourself,
…I guess is what these people actually believe? either consciously or subconsciously. fucking weird people. either extreme prudes who are weird about sex, or really homophobic and/or misogynistic, or all of the above.
i think it’s just the subservience metaphor. like we have kiss-ass and brown nose already and those aren’t associated with sex acts even though eating ass is way more common than when those terms were coined.
it’s patriarchal for sure but when liberals who think they’re progressive say stuff like that i don’t think it’s motivated by latent homophobia per se. Meanwhile we live in the real world where misogyny and homophobia are ongoing unsolved problems and interpret the comments in that light.
kissing ass is different from eating ass though, it’s just subservience, like bootlicking. asskissing and bootlicking can be sexual, like in domination play, but then it’s because of the dominance aspect.
oral sex and eating ass are just sexual, and if there’s any dominance angle that’s just in the eye of the beholder
depends how you do it
