Ok, but assuming one doesn't care about credit.

2019-08-24 05:14:16 UTC  

then its a hard roll

2019-08-24 05:14:38 UTC  

either you run and get proven right when it happens like you said it would

2019-08-24 05:14:47 UTC  

or you stop it first and become the villain

2019-08-24 05:15:38 UTC  

How does the Purge create this unshakeable field of apparent Goodness that is capable of successfully framing its opposition as villains?

2019-08-24 05:16:11 UTC  

Why does that work?

2019-08-24 05:16:11 UTC  

because it won?

2019-08-24 05:16:33 UTC  

its a big topic

2019-08-24 05:16:42 UTC  

No, you just said, even when it loses, it still manages to cast its enemy as evil.

2019-08-24 05:16:46 UTC  

How does that work?

2019-08-24 05:16:52 UTC  

countless american journos went there and said it was all good

2019-08-24 05:17:01 UTC  

It's important so I hope you'll bear with me.

2019-08-24 05:17:16 UTC  

ok im trying to pick up what youre putting down

2019-08-24 05:17:19 UTC  

ask again

2019-08-24 05:17:21 UTC  

Talking about USSR here?

2019-08-24 05:18:06 UTC  

We are talking about communism, yes? Purges disguised as moral crusades?

2019-08-24 05:18:25 UTC  

okay, take the purge against the kulaks

2019-08-24 05:18:30 UTC  

Yes.

2019-08-24 05:18:32 UTC  

it worked

2019-08-24 05:18:42 UTC  

killed millions

2019-08-24 05:18:50 UTC  

subdued the countryside

2019-08-24 05:19:16 UTC  

in order to stop it would require a civil war to kill the government

2019-08-24 05:19:24 UTC  

that didn't happen

2019-08-24 05:19:30 UTC  

So which one(s) didn't? Where did people fight back and win?

2019-08-24 05:19:31 UTC  

kulaks were purged

2019-08-24 05:19:48 UTC  

Chechnya?

2019-08-24 05:20:10 UTC  

dont know enough about that as it is more recent and less communist

2019-08-24 05:20:22 UTC  

Ok, so what's a good example?

2019-08-24 05:20:26 UTC  

take south american states or spain

2019-08-24 05:20:44 UTC  

big spanish civil war

2019-08-24 05:20:50 UTC  

take germany also

2019-08-24 05:21:17 UTC  

prevent communist takeover by fighting them off while you still have time

2019-08-24 05:21:28 UTC  

history calls you the bad guy

2019-08-24 05:22:13 UTC  

Does history think ill of Nazis because they fought Communists, or because they tried to create a European empire under German rule?

2019-08-24 05:22:24 UTC  

yes

2019-08-24 05:22:33 UTC  

Because the latter was a dick move.

2019-08-24 05:22:49 UTC  

the answer is yes

2019-08-24 05:23:15 UTC  

when you ask an or question and either is true, the answer is yes

2019-08-24 05:24:01 UTC  

So, I'll ask again, what is this mysterious power that allows Communism to manage to always successfully frame its opponents as evil?

2019-08-24 05:24:06 UTC  

How does that work?

2019-08-24 05:24:56 UTC  

I'd guess that there is a population of people that want communism to win large enough that any story is good enough
