But in Russia, starting under Lenin, tons of people still suffered and died

Starting under Lenin? You have an extremely fucking rosey view of the Russian Empire under the Tsar.

They did not

Prisoners are apprehended in association with criminal activity, with intent to persue charges and criminal trial. They are held at designated prisons, which are subject to local and international monitoring.

So not a word that describes the people Israel kidnapped.

It does not, none of the people Israel kidnapped were charged or convicted of any crime, and were kidnapped outside of Israel.

Least incoherent reactionary

Honestly I kind of want .world to defederate just to see which instance becomes the new tankie instance.

Speaking of pretending to be relevant, how ancient are you that you still use the word “commies”?

Uyghyr genocide

Lol

No, I just wanted to demonstrate that their principle of “you must believe vexatious genocide accusation” only seems to apply to ones made by the West.

Anyway, nice essay, but given it’s unrelated to the point, I’m not reading it.

You cannot make this shit up.

Really? Seems like you can and did.

Well that’s a pretty stupid reason to change your political beliefs.

normal (white, western, neoliberal) political spectrum.

Oh, so turns out you can deny genocides then? Oh right, only if it’s not the west making the accusation.

Wikipedia is a fairly neutral source.

I mean, it’s basically your bible, your one and only source for everything. Of course you think it’s neutral. It’s not, by the way, but you think it is.

Middle school teachers will tell you that tertiary sources are a good way to start your research when you apparently have no idea what you’re talking about.

That makes sense then, as it’s obvious that neoliberals who only cite Wikipedia have no idea what they’re talking about.

Oh wow, really digging deep for sources now.

Though even these sources basically confirm that it’s a vaguely defended snarl word that can be leveled at anyone to the left of Bernie Sanders.

No they don’t, reasonable criticism of the CPC is fine, they just ban jinogistic “China bad! Tinyman square! Winnie the pooh!” nonsense.

Ok senator McCarthy, not sure what that has to do with what I said. While you’re here, will you also condemn Ukraine’s Donbas genocide?

you seem to be getting hexbear confused with .world

I’m quite left of center myself

lol, every time.

Remember, if the US accuses someone of genocide, you have to believe them! Donbas genocide is just propaganda though, and Gaza isn’t that bad.

I understand, I know that neoliberals have a very hard time recognizing the humanity of anyone outside of their own little bubble.
