From the comments section of this clip from the TV show chernobyl

Just came home from christmas just-a-week-away Refurnished my home owned Sat down for a quick (8 hour) break internet-delenda-est and this was the first that came up. Curious on how the vibe might have changed since the show was released thinking-about-it I went to the comments and got blitzed flashbang with instant LIB cognitohazard

Damn that sucks. I liked the show, but it is very “le soviet union le bad” and normally youtube commenters are either based or deranged. This was just pure reddit reddit-logo very-intelligent

    Someone should have told those plantation owners that all they had to do to abolish slavery was given their slaves freed employees a penny a week while continuing to hold them involuntarily and dictate every detail of their lives. They’re getting paid, so it’s not slavery, right?
