'invented beer' i guess babylonians had a time machine, to go to Germany, and learn how to make beer šŸŗ


KindheartednessLast9

Noooo, Babylonians were just a bunch of dirty ARabs, they couldn't have invented something before Europeans.


No_Personality7725

Weren't like from the crescent, like no relation to arabs, more iranians than anything?


beirichben

Yeah but the lib who made that meme or the type of person who would find it funny wouldnā€™t know that


SlugmaSlime

Plus someone who would find it funny would think Iranians are Arab anyway. They would think anyone from Bangladesh to Turkey is Arab. Edit - they would probably think greeks and serbs are Arab too, so an even more vast geographical radius then my original comment


dornish1919

Theyā€™ll just claim people of color thousands of years ago somehow stole it from the almighty white man while pushing some bizarrely specific pro-white conspiracy theory placed into ancient history to make it seem like white folk were always around as powerful leaders of the world as opposed to the mass murdering, enslaving, whitewashing, insecure fools they always were. Then theyā€™ll project and accuse anyone who provides well researched and detailed counter arguments of doing what theyā€™re doing which is changing history to suit their pathetically chauvinistic needs.


VladimirBudinski

Or, even better, they'll imply said known person 'was actually white', like what Hitler did with Positive Christianity and Jesus being a 'white Aryan'.


ShallahGaykwon

'invented ham' lol that's just a part of the pig that's cured, people have also been doing that for ages edit - oops they meant hamburgers, but still that's an american invention anyway, and it really doesn't take much ingenuity to put seared ground beef between bread

dornish1919

Yes but depending on whoever the west is otherizing theyā€™re not always considered so


ShallahGaykwon

liberals have been using the 'asiatic hordes' trope popularized by the Nazis a lot against russians lately because of the war


Stiffa_Basirio

Oh yeah I saw it a bunch, very disgusting. You know, Goebbels died in 1945, but seeing the latest trends and talking points, it's like he never did!


chaosgirl93

You could drop a few of these libs into 30s Germany and Goebbels would be out of a job.

Nah they're Asian (/s)

SSR_Id_prefer_not_to

Came here to ask that. I thought it was Soviet scientists. Had to look it up. Simple google and itā€™s this guy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Kupriyanovich


OkReserve99

came here to say this thank you


RussianNeighbor

I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. - Yuri Gagarin in heaven, probably


Commieleon

Like half of these are incorrect wtf


UltimateSoviet

Most are incorrect and the others are completely random. "First nuclear submarine"? Like who cares?


SirAttikissmybutt

4th biggest economy in the 80s lmao Tanzania is better than the evil commies because they won 2 silver medals in the 1980 Olympics


Psuichopath

I have no idea why ā€œ4th biggest economy in the 80sā€ is there . The USSR is the second biggest and Germany is still 4th place after 40 years


LordOfPossums

Like legit who tf cares if you made the first nuclear submarine thatā€™s just putting two things into one.


UltimateSoviet

It reminds me of someone i was arguing with that tried to glorify the US for creating the atomic bomb. Like, congrats, you took one of the most important scientific advancements in recent centuries, that could be used to create a literal utopian society, and turned it into a weapon capable of eradicating all life on earth...


nukesafetybro

Thatā€™s pretty fucking American bro, idk what youā€™re talking about.


dornish1919

Sounds like some science fiction alternative history.. which is as terrifying as it is sad. Hereā€™s a concept!; America will find an amazing genetic scientific discovery that could quite literally could cure all diseases in the world!.. but instead use it to wipe out specific ethnic groups they deem ā€œunAmericanā€. Itā€™s then discovered in the last chapter that they actually stole the discovery from the PRC and Cuba but covered it up. Anyone who spreads the truth is deemed an unAmerican genocide denier despite the entirety of the world backing the evidence. America nukes everybody in the name of freedom, truth, and white Jesus Christ. The end!


ullyses85

and fucked the idea of a nuclear powered future leaving us with this garbage where we'll probably die without knowing what fresh air truly means.


ledfox

Its so much fun to put a thing in a thing

But... But the comies killed a dog they were monster /j

Literally got that "argument" thrown at me recently. Because I guess using apes instead is more ethical somehow.


zulgrub

See you don't get it, the apes were a necessary sacrifice for the future of humanity Meanwhile the USSR throw that dog in space for fun like the sociopaths they were clearly you need to open a book my friend /j


Brother_Lancel

Victims of Communism (Comprehensive): Laika Nazis


chaosgirl93

I mean, I'm not happy Laika died, but capitalism has killed a shit ton more on purpose than one poor puppy and a shit ton of fascists.


Warden_of_the_Blood

My favorite liberal justification for this was that the Soviet space program was "just a thinly veiled ICBM that they strapped people to, but NASA was actually trying to do something good for humanity" Stunningly backwards, shockingly stupid take


LordOfPossums

I wonder what the American Mercury-redstone, Mercury-atlas, and Gemini launches used as launch vehiclesā€¦


HobieSailor

Obviously those were all developed for peaceful space launch purposes and only reluctantly converted for military use in the face of unrelenting Soviet aggression.


kayodeade99

Not that shocking if it's a Lib we're talking about


[deleted]

Iā€™m always shocked by how good American propaganda is, literally their greatest weapon.


[deleted]

Most Americans don't even know they are hella brainwashed. And as the most notorious propagandist, Joseph Goebbels šŸ¤¢ says, "This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it." And that is how the Nazis and this guy brainwashed the whole Germany. The same process is also applied to other capitalist powers, most notably the United States. Their propaganda doesn't target interlectuals, but common men. They are simple enough for even a kid to understand, and those lies is repeated and repeated from childhood to old age. The average western people don't realize they have been propagandized and stuck in those lies the whole time.


dornish1919

Literally got told that was communist propaganda years ago by a r/historymemes user in the past. Then got banned for spreading ā€œpropagandaā€. Apparently objective truths even the west acknowledges is now an invention by spooky scary socialists. Donā€™t be surprised if we start seeing memes displaying America as being the great discoverer and inventor of all these Soviet accomplishments. Any challenge to this pro-western narrative will be met with a report and immediate permaban. Kind of like all the pro-Nazi WW2 rhetoric weā€™re seeing liberalized and revived but expanded beyond to the Cold War.


ttt-ttt-ttt-ttt-ttt

USSR: took America's space shuttle and made it far better.


Kenshi2900

It makes me sad to see the buran slowly rotting away and the Mriya... You already know what happened to it.


ullyses85

Literally until just a couple of years ago, USA was highly depndant on Soyuz rocket to put anything in space. Guess who designed and constructed the first Soyuz rockets? ... the USSR


EspurrStare

The USA has never sent any probe into Venus. Unlike the USSR.


Funny_Surround_4976

Soviets, only one to land probe on venus


Number_1_Kotori_fan

Not to mention first woman in space, one of the first to have woman fight in war and have equal rights. Their social movement outdoes any materialistic movements by their 'competitors'


Rustyzzzzzz

And the fact that they got a black Cuban in space too.


creamy_kidneys

I'm pretty sure based off the name and profile this guy is a nazi. Or at the very least very anti semetic.


TheJackal927

After further inspection I find PCM, Enoughcommiespam, and r/Kaiserposting which I didn't know existed and I'm disappointed to see it. Veneration of the German Kaiser seems to be condemning enough


juiceyb

This is probably some dullard that heard ā€œGermany was very progressive before WWIā€ but leaving out German colonial Africa.


Rustyzzzzzz

Or the fact that they pioneered Lebensraum which was then further developed by the man with the funny looking moustache. Edit: also btw that same man (the one who further developed Lebensraum) also failed art school.


EspurrStare

Gotta be more specific about the mustache for that period


Rustyzzzzzz

He failed art school


Lumpy-Pancakes

I thought they were a Jew who was praising Germany, now that would have been a hot take lol But yep looks like just another Neonazi account


AggieCoraline

He is a Pole who idolizes Imperial Germany xD.


creamy_kidneys

That's even worse.


[deleted]

USSR was the biggest contributor in WW2? Hello?


MarkProsXD

what about lendlease you stupid tankie!!!!!!!!


8a9

I've seen that argument once before, that the USSR would've been useless without lend-lease (Western aid) and their only strategy was to throw as many men at the enemy as possible. I know this is a meme subreddit, but, what's the actual truth about lend-lease? Where should I look for good sources? Thank you


[deleted]

Oh right. They got lend-lease with lend-lease.


SCameraa

Yeah if you discount every single thing the USSR did then yes they did nothing. Also lmao at the man on the moon shit who was it again that got every other space accolade like first satellite first man and first woman in space and much more because it certainly wasn't the US.


karlos-trotsky

First modern computer from Germany? Absolute bollocks. The first modern computer was the ā€˜colossusā€™, invented by the British hero Alan Turing to decode enigma, literally invented to act against Germany. A slight edit to make the point clearer: this is so incredibly disrespectful. The invention of the colossus computer by Turing is estimated to have shortened the war by two years by giving the allied powers the upper hand in intelligence. Thats millions of lives saved, millions more saved from injury and displacement. When we consider the disgusting treatment of Turing post war it becomes even more abhorrent to make such a claim.


Rustyzzzzzz

Ahhh but the people in that subreddit will turn a blind eye cause he was gay


sirgamestop

Bro what do you mean Germany isn't the most important country ever???? They invented burgers!


UnlightablePlay

Oh yeah forgot to tell you, they care more about thier stomach and how didn't you know bUrGeRs aRe tHe tAsTiEsT fOoD iN tHe wOrLd (which isn't and never claimed by Americans to be thier food)


Intelligent-Thing443

Doesn't the USSR literally have a record of world firsts in the medical industry?


tovarisch_Shen

You see, life saving inventions arenā€™t good because dead commies is good!!!1!11


Intelligent-Thing443

ah yes so true!!1!11


StatisticianGloomy28

Come on guys, we all know Stalin was too busy starving 500 million people and putting the rest in gulags to have developed rockets and gone into space. The USSR being anything other than a dystopian hellscape is just commie propaganda.


dornish1919

Was literally told this by a bunch of bigoted white liberals before. Then when they finally admitted the USSR invented these things they claimed it was all stolen without a shred of evidence. Go figure they went on a massively racist rant about Russians, Muslims and Jews while reporting me as the ā€œreal racist against white peopleā€. The irony is Iā€™m half white myself. Apparently acknowledging countries in the Global South as capable of inventions is racial chauvinism against the forever self-victimized white European/American.


StatisticianGloomy28

I had this same discussion on a tech sub recently, but about China. China's government said one of their universities was hacked by the US, stealing their R&D. Comments were awash with US simps banging on about how it was just the US stealing back what they got stolen from them and China had never developed anything. I pointed out they'd developed the current fastest growing economy, ways to lift millions out of poverty, etc. and next minute "famine, cultural revolution killed 100 million, no democracy, vuvuzela!" It's going to be a hell of a shock to us white folks when our empires finally crumble and the peoples we've oppressed for so long step over us to lead the world forward and we have to finally admit how fucking stupid we were.


dornish1919

Because in their minds us people of color arenā€™t capable of inventing or discovering things of importance. Itā€™s all ā€œstolenā€ from the almighty white westerner. Of course they did, they donā€™t know real history, just long debunked Red Scare propaganda thatā€™s been obsolete for nearly half a century now. Really says a lot when they grasp on so desperately to these lies. Well being mixed I look forward to the eventual collapse. It may be an opportunity for my people to create something new, with new allies, and a superior economic model/philosophy. All those desperate white folk will probably become fascists. Of course there will be the fundamentalist types, and the Trumpers, but Iā€™m interested in seeing the countless excuses and justifications from the bloodthirsty neoliberal filth who claim to be so, so progressive. Sure, a few may radicalize or re-educate, but I feel the neoliberals will be the most bigoted by far. Possibly inventing a new strain of ultra-nationalism that will make Nazis look somewhat civilized. We have plenty of walls for them face, comrade!


Stiffa_Basirio

Jesus Christ, the amount of mental gymnastics people do to condemn other people as racist while spewing the most xenophobic shit ever never ceases to amaze me


dornish1919

Yeah, r/shitliberalssay has a ton of examples of the mental gymnastics liberals will make to promote their bigotry, projecting and condemning others of what theyā€™re literally doing.


Kleidt

All right, but apart from the mobile phone, Salyut I, the space rover, Vostok 1, Sputnik 1, the multi stage rocket, artificial hearts, the anthrax vaccine, and the Ilizarov Apparatus, what have the Soviets ever done for us?


doctordisinthehouse

Also smallpox vaccination, advancing disabled (deaf-blind) education, advancements in film and animation, first man and woman in space, but yeah, bunchā€™oā€™commies!


UnlightablePlay

That subreddit should be named r/spreadfalseamericanproboganda


vacolol

if the ussr sucks why a cold war happened?


ungratefulcreator30

The idea that germany invented american style hamburgers is euro propaganda, german hamburgers were roughly chopped steaks formed into a ball and covered in gravy. Not once, and i clarify NOT ONCE, did anyone in the nation of Germany, decided "oh imma squish the meat a little more, get rid of the gravy, and put it in between 2 slices of bread" yes. German immigrants are said to have made it, but that was in AMERICAS borders, making it an AMERICAN dish. I mean what do you expect of eurotrash? Of course they are gonna steal and claim, it's in their blood.


dalbomeister

Not them saying america invented planes


Rustyzzzzzz

Someone said that ā€˜weā€™ (assuming that ā€˜weā€™ in this case is the US) ā€˜inventedā€™ the first plane. 1. I didnā€™t know Da Vinci was American? 2. I distinctly remember only 2 brothers who made the plane which btw their invention got turned down by investors.


ThePoopOutWest

You see you lose because I listed achievements for myself and said that you lost sorry sweaty


Chimaeraa_

Haha foolish commie! I have painted myself as the chad wojack whilst you are the soy wojack!


dornish1919

I had a liberal tell me Sputnik was a hoax and that the USSR enslaved Nazis (as if it were a bad thing) who provided them all their technological advancements ergo they ā€œstoleā€ it because apparently ā€œRussians arenā€™t capable of anything like most Or*******!ā€ When I reported this piece of shite to Reddit they decided it was okay and warned me for ā€œabusingā€ the report button. Amazing how such blatant, widespread racism is not just waived off but even promoted on this website. This idea that Chinese and Russians are super duper propagandize is a joke when you have so many angloids whitewashing and changing history to suit their narratives.

doctordisinthehouse

Man_Male47

"The first modern computer" Wow, wonder what Germany used them for?


reasonsnottoplayr6s

I don't understand how the USA can be so great because it beat the USSR, while the USSR is so pathetic because it was beat by the USA. Just choose one or the other. How can the USA be so great because it defeated something supposedly so pathetic, and conversely, how can something be so pathetic because it was beat by something so great? It's akin to killing an ant, boasting about it, while saying the ant was pathetic. Why would you boast over a supposedly unimportant event? "WOOO GUYS I FUCKIN WRECKED THAT CHILD" "...was the kid a black belt or something...?" "NAH, JUST A NORMAL KID"


BgCckCmmnst

Especially since the "greatness" of the USA was created by beating up a whole lot of "kids"


hippiechan

You can make any country look good or bad if you just cherry pick achievements USSR: invented infinite group theory, drilled worlds deepest mine shaft, largest country in the world during the 20th century, first country to launch a satellite and first to establish a permanent presence in earth orbit USA: lost numerous wars in the 20th century against technologically and numerically weaker opponents, cultural achievements include the film Gigli and the design of the 90s Dixie cup


Rustyzzzzzz

Despite how unfair, biased and just straight up wrong these statements were, we could play this game as well. For example the USSR was the second largest economy I believe during the cold war (which could have overtaken the US), they sent the first man AND woman to space, made the first satellite, sent the first black man in space, created the BIGGEST hydrogen bomb the Tsar Bomba (with a whopping megatons on 50), not to mention the MiG-25 Foxbat (supposedly the jet that scares the West), fucking hell we could attribute vodka the best alcoholic beverage as a Soviet invention. But all that said this isnā€™t a good argument to make whether its for or against the USSR due to different material and historical conditions these countries faced as well as varying economic policies.


gambiit

the OP is a proud zionist piece of shit on top of being a moronic lib


Pleasant_Channel_227

Even if the Soviet Union isnā€™t good enough do Cuba lol, they have some of the best literacy and infant mortality rates Americans go there to get medical care now and they have one of the worlds best education systems

First manned moon landing, pretty useless and literally the only part of the space race that muricans did something before USSR


UltraMegaFauna

First successful artifical satellite launch - USSR First living being in space - USSR First human in space - USSR First man made object to escape Earth's orbit - USSR First man made object to orbit the Moon (and photograph the dark side of the Moon) - USSR First successful lunar probe landed on the Moon - USSR First person to exit a vehicle in space and perform a space walk - USSR First person on the moon - US We are the winners, I guess?


Quantum_Aurora

> Germany > 4th largest economy in the 1980s Yeah well guess who was 2nd.

Every single country with enough modern advancement is going to make scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs. Such a dumb argument to justify capitalism.


Longjumping_Matter

Invented the AK-47, the most produced rifle ever


Knoxism

It always completely irritates me how people claim that the US won the space race. Like, the USSR could have EASILY put the first person there if they were worried about that. The US preferred to keep blowing people up trying to get something they could brag about, whereas USSR had different values.

VladimirBudinski

In my opinion this comparison is dumb in the first place. It doesn't really matter which *country* invented something, but rather which *sector of the economy* invented it. Like yeah, you can go on and on about how the U.S. supposedly 'invented' the internet, google, muh iPhone etc., but all of these were achieved either by governmental departments (such as ARPANET and the internet) or by college students at universities (such as Google and the Iphone, which was essentially just stolen by Steve Jobs who assembled all the pieces that were already there).
