      Politicians and rulers are bad actors and professional liars who use everything as a leverage to get more wealth and power. Stalin fought the nazi in WWII, was he a good human being? fuck no he was a dictator himself tripping on power.

      Politician who these days call for freedom on one hand while supporting a genocide in the other are scum, it’s not that hard to see.

              I think they just pulled an easy example out of their ass, the argument doesn’t actually relate to what they’re trying to say.

              Just “here’s a thing that will make you look dumb if you argue against” in a statement that otherwise doesn’t relate to what’s being said.
