Engage a liberal on Marxism and witness pure ideological autocomplete when they start flawlessly regurgitating anti-communist talking points with zero cognitive friction. No material analysis, no historical engagement, just the frictionless recall of a language model trained on Cold War tropes.

My favorite is “I lived through the Cold War”, as though being a veteran of propaganda saturation makes them an authority.

I lived through the cold war and believed most of the propaganda. The layers of the propaganda onion are seemingly infinite. It took about 20 years to peel them all.

I lived through the Cold War

I hate this too. "I luved through the Cold War" So did every human being alive right now over the age of like 40, who cares? You literally didn't do anything during that time but be alive. You have no special insight

the other alternate version "i lived through communism" is just as dumb if not dumber.
