"Cambodian genocide didn't happen, or if it did it wasn't that bad, or if it was it's not a big deal, and if it is, it wasn't the Khmer Rouge's fault, or if it was their fault, they didn't mean to, or if they did mean to the ~~kulaks~~ intellectuals deserved it."
"Khmer Rouge were a CIA psyop, this is all Amerikkka's fault"
