    Oh man… I have just started season 4 and I was already massively pissed off with the way they had portrayed the Soviets in season 2 and season 3. God damn… I guess Apple made them reign it in.

      When your anti-communist propaganda is so ridiculous you’re ordered to tone it down because your superiors are afraid people might get curious, investigate, and find out you’re just making shit up.

          It’s a big part of how I got here. I started realizing that the stuff I was told was so bad and evil about the USSR was happening in the US all the time and it started to break down the walls. Or, like, watching Red Dawn and sympathizing with the 18 year old dipshit Soviet conscripts who just wanted to take some pictures in the rockies, or the Cuban soldier who was like “This is bullshit”. Why did that Cuban soldier think the counter-insurgency tactics the Soviets were using was wrong? What actually happened in the Cuban Revolution? Why would they have a sympathetic Cuban character in this ridiculous anti-communist screed? Maybe I should go look it up…
