Hot take from the Daily Beast: Ackshually, the Cold War was stupid because the USSR wasn't nearly as bad as you were taught

Who’s up for a little fresh hell today? This one comes courtesy of the Daily Beast, who decided that today would be as good a day as any to publish a piece pointing out that the USSR wasn’t nearly as bad as we were taught:

Much of what many of us learned in school about the struggle between the U.S. and USSR was very, very wrong https://t.co/eOCmUwuZmr

“9 Reasons to Thank the USSR: How We Got the Cold War Wrong”… This is a real headline. SMH. Almost NYT Opinion section bad.

I don’t think the 62M people killed by Soviets in gulags, starvation, etc. b/t 1917-1987 would agree with this assessment. https://t.co/LWFdAbXHjB https://t.co/hHiyKjekzS

Do better, Daily Beast. When your standards are that low, it shouldn’t be difficult.
