Reading about tankies while being from the post soviet bloc is especially aggravating since we all remember and some still have to endure our drunk parents glorifying the „good old days” when milk was a luxury item and people listened to your phone calls.

I mean people still listen to your phone calls even in western countries and egg is looking to become a luxury item.
Well you are comparing one totalitarian regime to another. The US is no longer a „western” country.
Nah, it totally is. Being western isn’t signified by “Good Values” it’s signified by its location on the map.
And cultural-geopolitical factors.
Plenty of western countries are located in the eastern hemisphere. Australia is considered a western country…
Yeah they often get coined with that term because they have “Western Values” or come under the influence of western countries.
That’s why I put western in quotes. It’s a dumb but helpful classification like the „first world”.
I mean in the USSR, you definitely had choice when it came to voting. There was the right choice and the wrong choice. You’d better choose correctly.
If you were allowed to vote, only 15% voted IIRC.
