When I used to read communist history, I thought: those people are so backwards, that could never happen in a truly civilized western country.

Why would they kill birds?

Why would they kill teachers, scientists, and farmers?

Why would they kidnap and torture their own citizens?

Why would they burn down their own nation in order to rule over the ashes?

Now, I realize:

They would kill the birds because of "Carbon emissions."

They would destroy teachers and scientists lives for "teaching anti-LGBTQ messages."

They would destroy farmers because of "carbon emissions."

They would flood the West with illegal immigrants because "the West deserves it, because of what they did 60 years ago in Nicaragua and Syria."

And the crazy part is, all of the examples are either historical, or are current actual talking points by the Left.
