    It goes without saying Hexbear and Lemmygrad and .ml have funny ideas about what their simp nations are like, though.

        Yes. They just choose to believe that stuff never actually happened, and all evidence must be fabricated. They might sprinkle in “it must have been justified”, if they’re really cornered.

        Basically, it’s flat Earth theory for geopolitics, the point is believing the opposite of what everyone else does. The communist stuff is just decoration on top.
