i used to think i was a smarter-than-average liberal when i was on reddit and lemmy has been giving me QUITE an education since leaving.

thanks for making me away that leftist efforts pushes in the united states at the same time it did everywhere else in the world and this article makes me think that our collective ignorance about it is intentional because of this:

In order to do this, they deploy tactics that include intimidation, manipulation, deception, outright lies, and even murder.

i used to believe that the red scare started during the depression in this country until now and seeing it manifested in the election and on lemmy makes me unnerved about the future.

I enjoy the old time radio show "I was a communist for the F.B.I.!". The communist plots were ridiculous, like poisoning the city's water supply for no obvious reason. Still a fun show.
