Should I watch Pluribus just to be ready to explain to my two friends who are watching it why it's anticommunist garbage? (hexbear.net)

Or is that just the most exhausting and obnoxious thing possible?

I mean spoilers, but that Stalin line was delivered moments before we find she was responsible for like 10 million people dying… I think the show did that on purpose. Like Americans always saying everybody else is the evilest then going around committing the worst atrocities ever….

You got it a bit mixed up. She wakes up after the meeting with the survivors where she learns this piece of information, then goes to the Mauritanian guy and says the line. So she is conscious that she was the one that killed millions of people.

Didn’t she find out the exact number after the comment? Cause I remember finding out the number and being “damn you’re worse than even what your shitty propaganda says Stalin was”.

Maybe it gets brought up again later, but when Zosia doesn't tell her the actual number she learns it later from Laxmi, 11 million, she internalizes it and freaks out, and wakes up the next day comparing herself to Stalin.
