    I wore a full PPE and dove in there.

    They seem to be thinking that this is just a phase, and once Putin is gone, everyone who voted for him or his party is going to start voting for communists and thus Soviet Union will be soon restored.

    Also in another thread some person was being feeling deep cognitive dissonance (to the point of crying alone and feeling nobody understands them) when their history professor gently gave them facts about the atrocities Soviet Union committed.

    I cannot be mad at these people, but I am very worried how their bubble is feeding into their delusions. That cannot be healthy. I’m willing to bet that there’s a shooter or two brewing in those circles.

      1. 15%(probably less) is huge amount of people, but I don’t see them making big difference.
      2. If they wanted to vote for communists, they would vote already. But they didn’t and probably will not.
