The Soviet Union was, if not a traditional dictatorship, absolutely a totalitarian autocracy. Stalin was a brutal dictator and his successors were chosen by the communist party. Elections in the USSR were for show.

Life was miserable almost from the start of the Bolshevik revolution for most people. The USSR's implementation of communism was so bad, it's become cliche.

The people complaining about the way Obama spoke were using dog whistles. That's the point you seem to have missed.

Oh, so now it's "get the fuck over it"? Both sides are totally the same!

I don't think so, bebe. You motherfuckers will NEVER be permitted to live this down. This is YOUR fault. We will make you choke on it.

Nothing you want needs to be done immediately. NOTHING.

It fits perfectly well. The placement changes the emphasis subtly.

"That's a tall fucking building"

"That's a fucking tall building"

The second calls the listener's attention to the emphasized aspect whereas the first might reference the height in relation to other aspects... but would be more context dependent than the second form.

Easy there, Maude.

Not only was the use of the word actually contextually appropriate for literally producing emphasis, it was also fucking funny.

Maybe the problem here is the bizarre attempt at pedantry while consuming a meme. Not just a meme, but a meme about a meme. Unbelievable failure.

Christ, you people will justify anything to avoid saying you were wrong.

Society would be so much better if people exercised their grievances with vigilante violence, amirite?
