how is it that libs constantly lack any understanding of historical context (lemmygrad.ml)

No mention of why Romania was in such a bad state. Turns out it was the same playbook as today with the Global South. Romania gets IMF loans mid 70s. And just like John Perkins discusses in his book 'confessions of an Economic Hitman', the IMF made the terms of the loan contingent on austerity. Then due to global macroeconomic conditions and interest rate hikes, Romania can't repay the debts and starts to implode. This of course by design as per IMF/World bank strategy.

The people rise up against AUSTERITY but libs scream about 'communist dictatorship'.

Zero historical context. Just 'Communism bad, mmmkay?'. Like the Ukraine proxy war, nothing happened before Russia invaded. No it was 'totally unprovoked'.

Here's the background of this lemmy.world propaganda:

All the history subreddits get taken over by the feds, or by nazis (but I repeat myself)

Even small ones, that explicitly try to call out false ideas about history get taken over by them. r/badhistory used to be really good, then they got flooded with posts talking about how Chinese people's research on China is automatically "untrustworthy", and westerners, even RFA, are automatically "trustworthy" regardless of the quality of evidence. The sort of western chauvinism that the subreddit had previously explicitly rejected was now being celebrated because it was talking about China. Long story short, I complained, got banned. This was a couple of years ago now, I imagine most of their posts these days would just be "Look at this bad history take where they say Stalin didn't kill a million billion people, tankies hate history, slobber zucchini!"
