Asking citations is how we get everyone to tell the people who know what they're talking about vs the ignorant libs who have "'common knowledge" and fuck all else. Lazy and obnoxious is the name for the lib playbook, talking about shit they half remember from ~~propaganda~~ fiction they pretend is the same as history.

Also, I'm not the one making claims. When I start pulling numbers out my ass you're more than welcome to put very little effort into asking for the source. It'll take only slightly more effort from myself since I do keep some handy before I post.

I hope you have half as much hate for fascists as you do for libs.

I don't have the time nor the crayons to simplify the Russian Civil War so you would understand it. Asking for a citation that you could easily do a basic web search for is at best lazy and at worst sealioning.

Imagine thinking you can explain the Russian civil war to a communist with your wikipedia linking ass. Go read an actual book sometime.

Learning the term Sealioning doesn't absolve you from sourcing your claims, maybe find the time in your busy schedule learning a single concept correctly instead of having confidence that you got the gist of it from the vibes and a twenty second skim of whatever google spit back at you.

A 20 second skim and a link to Wikipedia is all it takes to prove something so obviously false. What part did I get wrong?
