    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.

    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.
