This one time my dad was talking about Karl Marx and said he was “born in Russia”, and I corrected him that he was born in Germany. And then he got argumentative and started spouting out other facts about “Karl Marx”, like that he overthrew the Czar and lead the Red Army…
Suddenly I realized… “Dad, you’re thinking of Vladimir Lenin, not Marx.”
My dad realized I was correct and replied: “Well of course you would know that.”
Went into rant mode at work one time because they were saying the USSR was part of the axis powers.
My head of department bought me wine with a picture of Stalin on the bottle for my birthday after that.
That was pretty cool.
see, when we call americans the most propagandized people on earth, this is what we mean. no one told that person that the US fought the USSR in world war two, but it is so common and socially acceptable to not know about anything that happened before you were born that they got to adulthood without ever being corrected on it.
wait what? can you elaborate? i know the ussr fought the americas with the polar bear expedition in 1918, but ww2?
There wasn’t a WWII fight, it’s that Americans will imagine there was and not get corrected on it because most of our understanding of history is vibes based.
Lmao what brand is that
i have vodka with a hammer and sickle on it
Pics plz
I have the same brand. It’s a very pretty bottle (mine’s a little scuffed bc it was in the freezer), and the vodka itself is not bad
They stopped carrying these at my grocery store after Russia invaded Ukraine
Same. Down to my last few drops
THATS IT!
How do I get ahold of Cuban booze? I want to support the revolution and make Fidel proud.
haha it illegal to bring into the us now i think . But that didnt stop my parents from smuggling a few bottles of cuban rum in the us everytime we visited my fathers Caribbean country. i have an uncle who make famous rum cakes, he insist you use cuban rum.
Gotta buy it abroad. I always cop a couple bottles when I visit LatAm, not just for ideological reasons either. Havana Club is a good rum in its own right, selección de maestros is probably one of the best deals out there at like $30 usd a bottle.
It’s definitely not illegal to bring it into the US under your allotted customs quota for personal use
today I figured out my parents were taking too many bottles of rum into america.
Oh wow i thought that was a regular-sized bottle standing on a reflective table
i need that !
will do tomorrow
There’s a ton of Stalin wines if you search online.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the one she got me.
Was it a nice red?
It was a Georgian red, I believe
