Nice try trying to portray me as the "ignorant public". There is enough serious academic consensus on the Holodomor being a Soviet-created genocide. Stalin and Lenin were mass murderers. The whole Soviet regime was a bunch of brutal authoritarians that lacked humanity. This is historical fact.

Tankie and tankie-adjacent academics need not apply.

Note the creation date of my Lemmy account. You think you're the first person I've encountered that's spewing such tankie bullshit? Why would you think your attempts at lying would work?

You do understand the tankie copytext and the pretend reasoned tone (when using accounts outside of the three tankie septic tank instances) are always very similar?

@Skiluros you're completely misunderstanding me if you think I'm "spewing tankie bullshit". I'm not disagreeing that the Soviet regime was indeed all of those things.

I'm done here anyway. Pointless to argue about minor points with unreasonable people who think they know it all when they clearly don't.

Totally, we must all bow down your intellectual might.

There is no academic consensus on the Holodomor. There is no academic consensus that Stalin killed more Soviet civilians than Hitler (with Lenin being close too). None at all!

And under no condition should we use our brains (that's the sole prerogative of ikuturso the final arbitrator of historical consensus) and recognize that tankie academics (or russians) denying the Holodomor is irrelevant to historical consensus.

Nor should we recognize that tankies denying the Holodomor are going to be using the holocaust as a cover for their murderous polemics.
