Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    Sorry your relatives were fascists. My great grandfather got murdered by the reds in Spain and I don’t cry anticommunism on the internet because he probably deserved it. I only feel bad about having fascist ancestors.

      Are you under the assumption that only fascists were persecuted under communist dictatorships, or are you just being mean?

          Well I guess being well informed on a topic is not strictly required to form an identity around it on the internet. Being ignorant sure seems to help with the confidence tho.

              Thank you, Bolsheviks, for doing a bit less damage in our area, than what you proved to be perfectly willing to inflict on some of our neighbors.

              Also, huge thanks to my ancestors for staying decent in some of the darkest decades of our history. You lived and died with moral integrity in times when you could have easily gotten a comfortable living by becoming corrupt bootlickers to some of the worst despots in human history.
