You sound like a 1950s red scare boomer right now, or a medieval serf accusing another medieval serf of being a spy for the rival kingdom while we're both covered in shit in a potato field. It's just so sad.
Like a reverse Truman show, where you live in real life but have convinced yourself that vast swathes of people are paid actors.
As the decline of capitalist countries continues and their socialist counterparts continue to outpace them, this comforting nationalist delusion will take more and more of your energy to maintain, and will probably have deleterious effects on your mental health and sense of reality. For your own sake, and the sake of the people you believe it's okay to disrespect in service of the fiction of nationhood, you should let go of it sooner rather than later.
Also it's CPC.
Sure thing, buddy. You're the only one bringing up communism and trying to act like this is some east versus west dick measuring contest. You can't even make a coherent argument about why you think this is a good thing and instead go straight for whataboutism and ad hominem attacks.
