du bist zynisch, du bist bitter und allein

Amnesia (2016) by the outstanding German artist Rolf Ohst

That form, "Remember X? Neither do I" only makes sense if your correspondent does not, in fact, remember X, or if X didn't happen. I for one remember it very well, from slurs, to anecdotes in the usual USSR fashion where they punch down on minorities, to the Дело врачей which we learn about in school, to the simple facts of life that Jews were among those ethnicities it was hard to get higher education or get a home, or obtain a good job, to literal ethnic cleansings like was done to krymchaks (a separate ethno linguistic group within Jewish people) along with other indigenous people of Crimea in 1944. Uh, I think you westerners/global southerners are pretty ignorant of realities of the USSR, and that's because you don't study it enough+you're not living with consequences, you don't talk with or read what's written by survivors. Also, because you don't want to. Like open a fucking wiki, if it's too hard for you to reach out to someone who actually lived in the USSR, or who now lives in a country liberated from the USSR. Maybe talk to a Jewish person? Here's a food for thought. Or do you use MAGA sources to check black people's history?

I mean, no? I don't begrudge people not knowing, I begrudge them confidently perpetuating antisemitism while remaining wilfully ignorant. Like, you could spend your 20 something years of life, or however old you are, without asking yourself a question, hey, but how exactly were Jews treated in the USSR, and that's okay. You probably won't be talking about Jewish people in the USSR then. So, like, don't be so wrong and yet so loud like this anon. If you have an opinion, you outta be able to back it up with facts, and not whatever bullshit txtl or another tumblr favourite tankie is spewing this week.
