      This is a prime example of how contrarian centrists are the useful idiots of the far-right.https://twitter.com/abigailmarone/status/1400831527995514883 …

      This is a terrible take. This is the equivalent of saying liberals who recognized that Hiss was lying, and that the Rosenbergs were guilty, were useful idiots, rather than people interested in what was true rather than what was politically convenient.

      The Cold War liberals who vastly over0hyped the Soviet threat beyond its reality were in fact the handmaidens of reaction. Truman's loyalty oaths prepared the way for McCarthyism.

          Eastern Europeans would probably disagree that the threat Stalin posed to democracy was “overhyped.” Regardless, that has nothing to do with the fact that going to the wall to defend people who were absolutely guilty of what they were accused of was an absurd thing to do.

          Why do we accord the CCP the benefit of the doubt it has done nothing to earn? They deliberately made confirmation of zoonosis impossible, suggesting the truth may be worse than the wet market. Their behavior from the start should make nefariousness the rebuttable presumption.

          In the history of nonsense from the Commentariat, this tweet will get multiple chapters.

          The hungarians may disagree, as also will Afghanistan. You also forget the Soviet proxies doing the dirty work, like when Cuba tried to recreate the revolution by sending an small invasion to Venezuela

          ColdWar liberals??? I dont think any1 would call AllenDulles a ‘liberal.’ 🤣🤣 The whole ColdWar, Anti-Communist ‘threat’ was created by RightWing Extremists who wanted us to cower in fear, so they could erode our ConstitutionalRights & turn our Democracy into a Kleptocracy.pic.twitter.com/L9WLP1MtuG
