Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
You can keep repeating that claim all you want, it means nothing because that's not what's happening here . You can waffle on about anti-communist bullshit as much as you like as if it's somehow relevant but it changes nothing. By all means though, keep stuffing that strawman with those red herring...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Bullshit. The only one guilty of minimising is you, by trying to sweep under rug the millions of deaths that Stalin and the USSR are directly responsible for. Its very funny how you have nothing substantive to say - its just rote automatic "nuh uh!" gainsaying all the way down, which is w...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
What is a strawman is claiming that pointing out the existence of the Gulags is (somehow) holocaust denialism. Apparently. That's not what you did, and everyone can see that's not what you did, which is why you've been called out. You attempted to draw an equivalence between the gulags and Nazi ext...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Not a straw man. You engaged in soft core Holocaust denialism, as per the very Wikipedia page you cited. Then you got touchy because it was apparently too complicated for you, and didn't want to look past the headline thought. What is a strawman is claiming that pointing out the existence of the Gu...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
But even that is needlessly complicated, the very first line in the article states that "Holocaust denial is an antisemitic conspiracy theory that asserts that the Nazi genocide of Jews, known as the Holocaust, is a fabrication or exaggeration". And since I made no such assertions, the id...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
To qualify as "holocaust denial" it has to contain one or more of the following: Nazi Germany's "Final Solution" was aimed only at deporting Jews from the territory of the Third Reich and did not include their extermination. Nazi authorities did not use extermination camps and g...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
I mean there must've been lots of Nazi style death camps and gas chambers and millions of dead, right? Yes . ~30,000 and ~1.6 million, respectively. A fucking labor camp isn't a the same thing as a fucking extermination camp, and pretending they're the same is actually a form of Holocaust denial. I...
