This is a good example of one of things people hate about lemmy.

Communism fan boying, implicit denial of genocides committed by communist powers, out in the open on the front page.

You're going to find Communists on a website made by Communists. Don't know what you mean by "genocide denial," but in another comment you were unironically recommending the Black Book of Communism's chief writer as a legitimate source, you're doing the "Communism killed 100 million" meme.

And you cited a website that denies the Uyghur Genocide and the Holodomor.

You're doing genocide denial.

Wow, I wonder what went on there…

Uyghurs aren't being systematically murdered at scale. There are reeducation camps, but to call it "genocide" isn't accurate. You should read the UN report.

As for the idea of an "intentional famine," this is disputed at best. In reality, there was a famine in the 1930s that didn't have any racial motivations. Nobody denies the famine's existence.

So no, I'm not doing genocide denial, and I'm correct, you want to appear morally righteous regardless of the real facts.

Okay. You know where the exit is.

Communism fan boying, implicit denial of genocides committed by communist powers, out in the open on the front page.

What communist “genocides”? This one? Or this one[1][2]? Or this one?
