Lol he loses his shit any time Churchill is mentionedI don't blame him considering Churchill is not only responsible for the Bengal famine but also for one of the largest ethnic cleansings in modern times, and numerous other horrendous things yet he's revered as a hero.

It's pretty weird I think you don't blame him because if you aren't a full-on communist then you sympathize with them to a very concerning degree. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Do you think average Joel would defend Churchill the way he defended Stalin?Probably not, but I've literally had the exact same people attacking joel in this topic make the exact same arguments Joel makes in regards to the weather when it comes to the Bengal famine. So that goes both way. Both where bad, both could have been avoided. The problem is that we condemn Stalin for it because he was a despot and we clap for Churchill because he was the great hero of the war. Which of course ignores the fact that the vast majority of the german military machine died in Russia between 1941 and 44. TLDR Stalin and Chruchill are both, but history only teaches us that Stalin is bad. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire ... Copied to Clipboard!

May I ask why, exactly? Whether or not you consider the Holodomor a genocide doesn't excuse Stalin's actions and serves to show a very concerning set of biases you espouse.Not sure what you're asking. Why what? I agree it doesn't excuse his actions. Stalin was pretty brutal regardless. My point is that so were the leaders of the west, yet they are still regarded as heroes. I think that sucks, because then it feels like Stalin gets criticism not because he was bad but because he was bad on the wrong side. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent ...

I don't give a shit about ideology, I just think it's incredible that we accurately said that averagejoel denies the holodomor genocide and blames things like the weather and the farmers instead, and we were told that wasn't true...
and it was all true, but somehow because Joel told scar that it was bad even though it was not a genocide and also Churchill is bad too there's ambiguity over all those posts denying Stalin did anything or that the holodomor had anything to do with policy Like wtf? When have I ever defended Churchill? Most of what I know about him doesn't make him seem worth defending. W/e, I don't really care what Joel thinks as long as we've cleared the air over what he's said --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

I took RebelElite's initial post about it to mean something more along the lines of "denies it happened", especially since he used the phrase "conspiracy theory" about something that is actually contested in academia. Whereas the way I understand it is simply that he thinks the Holodomor very much happened but it wasn't a genocide. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent ...

Eh, the usual people you would expect. Mal fet the one time got himself a suspension out of it arguing with me because he tried to imply that Churchill was right. The Admiral, Spooking, and a bunch of the usual shitty low karma alts that disaapear.
But you are correct that of those none of them are posting in this topic. So I apologize for that incorrect part of my statement. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire ... Copied to Clipboard!
