Hey, I can think what happened in Eastern Europe was just authoritarian dictatorships, backed by Muscovite colonialism & branded as communism just the same as what happened in parts of South America was just authoritarian dictatorship, backed by American imperialism & branded as laissez-faire capitalism.

Also I can think communism has never actually been tried, and that it’s functionally impossible (therefore people should stop advocating for it).

British. No idea how we have a reputation for politeness; borderline abusive piss-taking is standard between mates, as is referring to each other as cunts. Groups of lads, and particularly middle-aged pub goers, can often be lairy, loud, obnoxious, aggressive louts.

It’s baffling. Though in fairness, this stereotype exists mainly in the US. Countries we can get to via EasyJet or RyanAir have probably long been disavowed of this impression.
