>His first language is hebrew - jidish or whatever. Ukrainian and Russian. It's possible he knew some Yiddish as his parents did but there's no writings from his early life that corroborate that he spoke Yiddish. He also did not live in a Shtetl so even his parents speaking Yiddish would have been very uncommon as he grew up. If you listen to his old speeches, he has an Old Moscow Russian accent, not a Yiddish-Russian accent that some of the migratory Jews had. In fact, Trotsky hated his Jewish origins and upbringing. He was an atheist. This helped shape the literal godless USSR and also influenced the Communists who shunned or outright banned religion - we can thank people like Trotsky for those contributions to Communism. >So point is that Trotsky and his comrades 'popularize' this word and use it against whites. Nothing more, nothing less. But Trotsky didn't popularize the word. Since they didn't use the word. And it was already pervasive in our media before Trotsky used his version of that word. Racist had been used since the 1800s in US books, newspapers, and other publications. Indeed, racism is discussed when the US is founded - discussions were had about the slavery question. Racist and Racism were never new words in the American-English lexicon. For me, this is not trying to defend Commies from criticism. Not at all. This is pointing out the absolute retardedness that ends up in memes. It's never ending on this site as people just won't stop posting retarded boomer memes. And we get mocked for it (they screen shot us). I'm doing my part to keep our community more informed and educated so they stop spouting nonsense - and it is WORKING. I have seen the quality of memes improve over the last year. Memes are not just about making funnies, such as this one. Some are intended to inform. When I call folks out for their factually incorrect memes, they do better to research their memes in the future and avoid the bullshit. That's good. WE should be the most educated and intelligent because we represent the "enlightened." We are supposed to be the folks not falling for the commie/leftist bullshit. We are the ones calling them out. And we do. We do very well, sometimes. But we can do better. >At least in situation when leftards politicians, journalists, scientists, academics, etc. lie on daily basis, and pretend that this is TRUTH ( with all upper case ), why we can't make funny memes? In this case, this isn't a funny meme. This is a "factoid" meme trying to pass itself off as factual when it is not. It misinforms people and makes us look RETARDED. From what I understand, I think some of these memes - ones like these that are so very obviously wrong - are made by leftoids to make us look bad. They make a stupid meme that is clearly wrong, infiltrate right wing social groups, and post their memes. Then the right wingers repost these memes, making themselves look stupid. That's my best explanation - based on actual reality and bragging from leftists - for why these very stupid and factually incorrect memes, still get posted.
