    kittenzrulz123 isn’t denying genocide, here. Claiming that Stalin wasn’t as bad as Hitler is mainstream liberal historian consensus, and most modern historiography shows he was better than Churchill. There’s no denial of genocide by Hitler, nor a defense of Pinochet. Instead, there’s support for Salvadore Allende, who unfortunately was coup’d precisely because his path to socialism was not revolutionary, and a denial that Stalin was as bad as Hitler, which is just historical fact.

        But genocide apologetics nonetheless.

        You haven’t managed to name a single genocide they did anything even approaching apologetics towards not to mind denial. Genuinely what the fuck are you talking about in this thread?

        If I tell you to stop murdering children, and you tell me to fuck off, is that an admission on your part of murdering children? The charges are baseless, and kittenzrulz123 was responding to them as such.

        There were no genocide apologetics. You have not explained any. There was no genocide committed by the Soviet Union, the allegations of genocide in Xinjiang that were explicitly mentioned by kittenzrulz123 are baseless as mentioned, and Salvador Allende never committed genocide. The usage of Captain America’s famous line as a response in kind to the monstrously bad-faith allegations levied against them is not apologetics for genocide either.

        This is just clear libel on your part.
