During Soviet times figures drifted in and out of favour. An old joke:
Three men are sitting in a jail cell. “How did you end up here?” asks one the other. “I criticized Karl Radek,” he says. “No way!” replies the first man. “I got here for supporting Karl Radek!”
They turn over to the third guy in the corner and ask him why he got there. He sighs heavily and answers: “I’m Karl Radek.”
It is amazing how Americans manage to be so arrogant regardless of reality. Has it ever occurred to you that the US has funded death squads across the world? Trump is pretty par for the course, he’s just terrorizing American cities instead of South American or Middle Eastern.
Thought crimes are very often retroactive.

Well, I mean, the moment you start thinking of the United States of America as being like the good ole’ Soviet Union, you know something is wrong.

Bingo Bango you diagnosed me with terminal Americanity. Too bad I am not American.
I already started adapting my old joke repertoire!
Two federal agents are patrolling Washington DC. After a period of silence, one asks the other what he thinks of the current leadership.
After pondering what to answer for a bit, the second guy answers. “Same as you,” he says.
“Well, in that case I’m afraid I must arrest you.”
But doesn’t the officer then have to arrest themself? I don’t get it.
