TIL that members of the Russian Mafia would tattoo of Lenin, Marx, and Engels on their chest or vital organs because firing squads could not shoot images of USSR's founding fathers.

First off, you are arrogant, when I replied to you I did so nicely, you started hurling insults around. So I responded in kind, and you did not just insult me but ALL of Reddit.

Nah, you're semantically nice, but in reality doing 0 effort to make this a debate, I have 0 respect for people like you, look how much I had to push you to have one fucking argument, and you're still putting this on me ? Ahaha.

You also seem to think this is about winning or loosing. This is about facts. If you are wrong, you are just wrong, you cant argue your way out of it.

Eh no, I'm the one explaining to you that I don't care about being right or wrong but just to debate in a sane way, no fucking argument you gave me until that point wouldn't have been received by a normal person as an insult. Again, whether or not you are semantically not insulting me, I don't give a shit, you totally not subtle implications are something I refuse to deal with.

I also pointed out to you that you don't have a source. Your documentary does not qualify as a source. Soviet policy on the other hand does, and that is not in Soviet policy.

You consider your ignorant opinion as a source then ? lulz.

Your assertion that a tattoo suddenly protects you is baseless. Just as it would be in America, having George Washington or some other, its just a silly idea, repeated by a man who is a convict and who does not understand the complexity of the Soviet System. Why should he, he is a convict, when people do not understand something they make up stories, in this case you are being sold a story.

The arrogance is all yours because you have no source. All that is in this documentary of yours is a toothless guy saying he heard that is what the authorities do. That does not make it a fact. It makes it hearsay. It is you that has comprehension issues.

Your arrogance is just the brand of the average redditor, who refuses to make any effort to be nice, or to debate, or to even use logic, your constant will to put me down and make 0 effort to be nice made me do the same thing.

I'm done with people like you who can't read simple words and will go backpedaling every single time you give an argument that pisses them off enough, when the rest of the time they'll ignore it.

Took like 10 posts to make you turn on your brain and try to reason for 10 seconds, apparently that didn't work as planned.

Never in reddit I spoke so long with someone that didn't understand my point at all, just him entitled to try to make me look bad.

I don't understand it really, and then I'm the one who cares about winning or losing ? I just care about not giving a fucking once of respect to semantic bigots like you, with their punchilne logice and their total ignorance of what science, logic, or a debat is.

See, you seems to consider that I'm being rude because "I want to win". No, I'm being rude just because I'm acting exactly like you.
