I seem to recall that the Soviet Union was busy genociding demographics before the Nazis made it cool - the holodomor was in 1932, some time before boomer Hitler got around to offing job lots of his own population.
And that's just one big bang event, not even taking into account the continual grinding misery and death communism leaves in it's wake.
also 10 million deaths is a lot more than x00000
How could Hitler be a "Boomer" when he was born in 1889? Does anyone even know what a "Baby Boomer" actually IS any more?
If anything, he was of the "Lost Generation", the first one to be named.
It was purely in comparison to Stalin, the hipster of the piece, who was genociding demographics before it was cool.
Actually, Hitler was a hipster, too. Considered himself too good to take a dishwashing job to avoid abject poverty, and he wouldn't even consider applying to a commercial arts school when the finest fine arts school in Europe turned him down. Hipsters never lower their sights. The only difference between him and a modern hipster would be his willingness to join the army of the country he admired.
Sorry for missing the sarcasm, btw, but I've seen the term "Boomer" thrown around meaninglessly so much, they're starting to twist it to just mean anyone older than 30 who didn't get indoctrinated by university "education".
No worries dude, there is a whole law named after it, after all.
One of the worst things about $CurrentYear is it makes the Poe thing true for so many more people than normal.
Eh, it's only text, could be they missed the sarcasm, for all that I thought I laid it on with a trowel.
That's true, but if the USSR lost, the Nazis would have killed more.
Just like someone said in the reddit thread, this is vapid whataboutism.
What is it about the atrocities of the USSR that brings out this knee-jerk response? Is it really so hard to just fucking admit that socialism has resulted in horrific totalitarian regimes? This is why the advocates of socialism always come off as untrustworthy or idiots; They can't even admit the mistakes of past attempts to come up with an explanation as to how they plan to prevent that from happening again.
At least the dumb-asses that think we should give fascism another go have a large proportion of members that admit to the German holocaust and are honest about wanting to do it again.
Fascism is just honest socialism: https://www.bitchute.com/video/9mJPw-ICYp8/
No no no no, you don't understand.
Let's make it clear:
NAZIS BAD
If you have anything to add to that, you are in fact saying that Nazis are not bad, and that makes you a Nazi!
That's the way postmodern debates go, isn't it?
Maybe? We're supposing about two genocidal regimes, I'm not sure I'd be able to predict which one is going to off more people.
This is all speculation. Why is it important unless this is an attempt to cover for communism...
Everyone talks about communism but ignores fascism
What, in a discussion about the holodomor? The cheek of it! How dare they, how very dare they?
Why, the other day I saw a discussion on the flaws of fascist ideology that didn't once mention the proceedings of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union!
Where? All I see everywhere is communist promotion.
Fascism has a relatively small death toll globally and historically when compared to the destruction wrought (and still occurring) at the hands of communist revolutionary ideology.
I'm not lying about what the commies have done, they murdered millions
