Close Encounters of the Russian Kind

Ok, something kind of weird has happened to me today, but to really explain it I have to give some backstory.

On Monday, I was watching a movie about Stalin from 1992 (which was very interesting by the way, I recommend it if you're into Russian history) and saw some Russian neo-nazi (judging by his charming profile picture of a Nazi who looked like a serial killer, and his YouTube channel, which consisted mostly of racist music videos) conspiracy theorist in the comments claim that the Russian Communist Party was 85% Jewish, or some other such nonsense.I looked up the Soviet census, and wouldn't you know it, the Communist Party was only 5% Jewish. So he was only off by, you know, 80%, but hey, that's better than most Nazis can do.

So anyway, I told him this, and his charming response was to call me a communist, and a four letter word that I shant repeat here. I haven't heard from him since, so I assume he's realized he's lost the argument, and gone back to pulling the legs of spiders, or molesting goats, or whatever Russian neo-nazis do. How weird is it though, that I live in a day and age where a 19 year old from rural South Carolina can get into an argument with a kooky Russian fascist who he will hopefully most likely never meet in real life?

The moral of this story, of course, is never trust a Russian with a keyboard, because they will almost always get up to no good.
