Soviet propaganda was usually pretty apt. You don't have to lie to come up with reasons America is a horrible place.
One of the reasons we're horrible is because conservatives actually used the fact that the Soviets criticized us for White Supremacy to dismiss Civil Rights as a communist plot.
White Supremacy and gaslighting go hand in hand
White Supremacists cannot operate using objective reality because they know their cause is objectively repulsive, even to them
Most of their time in their meetings seem to revolve around discussing what not to say and how to sell their platform using alternative language that masks their true intentions
Just like Christianity
All religion when put in power in a nation does it, you think the IRGC or Israel with the Orthodox Jewish stranglehold on their respective politics in their cou tries are better than the Christian Nationalists in the US? Hell even India has a pretty shitty history with Hindu nationalists starting out with Mahatma Ghandi and his religious zeal leading directly to the bloody conflict and genocides between Pakistan and India when they just got their independence from the British. Religion is and has always been the great divider, and the few times someone with religious convictions tries to use that force for unity with other groups it is coopted and perverted in less than a generation.
Yes, competent propaganda doesn't lie. There are enough reasons to badmouth any country out there, if you need to invent a completely fictitious narrative, you are just bad at it.
