I cannot have a happy hour at work without "gommunism bad" coming up at least once
My team has a virtual happy hour every week, and almost every time I have to hear about vuvuzela no food 69 billion dead. The one time it wasn't that was one of my coworkers defending JK Rowling for being a transphobe.
Just today corporate surveillance came up and one of my coworkers (who used to work for the defense industry, go figure) brings up muh see see pee pee poo poo. I told everyone I had other obligations and noped out before I had to hear that shit for the millionth time.
As a non-American I find it amazing how, in [current year], after 30+ years of the USSR's defeat, communism still lives rent free on everyone's head. I know, I know the State Department is trying to build up this new see see pee bogeyman, but still, you'd think Americans would be more confident about their system being the best and gommunism being dead and buried? The way everyone there hyperfocuses on whatever is going on with official state enemies and no other countries is pretty funny as an outsider.
