(lazy censorship for reasons) Imagine studying Romanov history for a decade and then being sad about them dying.
I wonder if she cries the same tears for the hundreds of people killed during his coronation (he sure as hell didn’t), the thousands he had murdered and exiled during his reign, or the over a million Russians who were slaughtered in The Great Imperialist War which he took personal command of?
What am I saying, of course she doesn’t give a singular shit about the untold millions who suffered and died under him and his family. Those were just peasants, peons, plebs, and below her (and the tsar’s) notice. At best they are numbers and statistics to her. This is why I come down on the side of
being fine. It’s a fraction of the atrocities commited so these fucking ghouls can live in the lap of luxury. How anyone can sympathize with these monsters is beyond me, especially if they’re claiming to have studied them for a decadestudied them for a decade
More likely fawned over the romantic myth of benevolent disney princesses for a decade
Oh that’s why I said she claimed to have studied lol, at best it sounds like she stared at a picture of her great-grandparents estate that was appropriated by the Bolsheviks while playing Anastasia on repeat in the background
Shit made me laugh thinking about it
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves
Finished This Book a week ago, this is the first book of twain’s that i’ve read, pleasantly surprised ngl.
Exactly.
lmao I got her post too, the entire comment section was clowning on her
The glory of the internet is getting algorithmically recommended monarchist tears to invoke their empathetic view of commie murderers bad.
I cannot and will not ever believe that any of these idiots give a singular fuck about the Romanovs.
Of course not. The first thing in some random teen scrolling through’s head would be to look up the history of the Romanov’s and get blasted by anti-communist “lenin bad child murderer”. It also baits people to attack them for it; to which they can deflect with “CHILD MURDERER!!”.
It’s insidious.
One (1) photo of Nicholas II or the children makes it’s way to my FYP
ayyy lmao
May Nicholas II burn in Hell for all eternity
Ngl i also want to vomit when thinking about Nicholas II, but probably for other reasons.
So is she real crying or fake crying? Don’t know which one would be worse honestly.
Imagine even thinking about this stuff more than 100 years later JFC…
Look, I’m not going to pretend that shooting the whole family like that was pretty. Revolution is not a dinner party. But why don’t these libs get equally teary-eyed about all the people shot by Tsarist soldiers on Bloody Sunday?
Also, I don’t turn human suffering into a “look at me” photo op.
imagine wasting a decade studying the goddamn romanovs 😂
Where did you find this post?
Instagram FYP while checking up on a friend.

Not fair, all I get is AI generated shit and sexist podcast clips
Sometimes, every once in a while, the feed asks you “more of this?” and you can click no. I’ve managed to use that to my advantage.
Other than that, yeah, I use it for commie shitposting. Social media tends to remind me of how vile some people really can be.
I was going to say at least she’s not fake crying in blue/yellow facepaint, but it occurred to me this is probably just a slightly more coded version of that
To me it’s just the “anti-communist” version.
Apparently, according to her, revolutions do NOT occur just because people are desperate. You know, they just…do it. Lenin saying “A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation” was meaningless, apparently!
Sometimes, I start a revolution when I get off the couch. It just happens.
What is FYP?
for you page
Instagram’s explore option. Random recommended things, basically.
Why I don’t install Tiktok.
Sadly wasn’t TikTok.
Why I don’t install [whatever platform that was posted on]
It’s useful for engaging with people on the fence, I’ve met a lot of real life comrades I work with that way. Personal comms and such should be held on Matrix or similar platforms, agreed. Any social platform has this issue. The shitty part is that you get drilled with the occasional propaganda even if your algorithm determines you as “far-left”.
That and memes. Gotten some great shit shitposts there.
