  • Bandera and his Polish-backed forces led a campaign of slaughtering livestock and horses and burning grain in the early 1930s which historian Mark Tauger identifies as one of the major human-based causes of the famine in the 1930s, in particular the devastation of the horse herds which were essential for transport and animal labor. Bandera did this with the intention of worsening the famine in order to incite resistance against the USSR.

    I knew about kulak sabotage but had never heard of this. Anywhere that I can read about this and other, uh, stunts that the banderites pulled?

  • Small caveat: the United States dropped two nuclear weapons to end a fascist dictatorship in Japan that ran a war of oppression against over a billion people. Including countless warcrimes and crimes against humanity that killed millions of people in occupied countries.

    These bombs were at no point necessary. The US murdered these people to show off a new weapon. I’m sorry, but this talking point is a product of how history-- as the general populace knows it–has been shaped by US dominance. It has no actual basis in reality.

    This is a perfect example of something that’s come up a few times here in this thread. People are saying ‘Oh, they’re so angry. They’re so angry.’ Well why is that? It’s because beliefs like these are so deeply ingrained within the culture of the US and the broader hegemonic core, and are so completely removed from reality, that it’s utterly tiresome being inundated by them day in and day out.


  • while I have not seen Uyghur genocide denial there

    This is generally viewed as bullshit on hexbear. But I’d be willing to hear out, in good faith, why you personally think there is/was a genocide going on if you wouldn’t mind taking the time to write something up.

    Edit:

    The OP: can hexbear leftists remain civil?

    User: maybe, maybe not. They seem pro China though, so maybe they even deny Uyghur genocide, I’m not sure?

    Hexbear leftist: we do. But im here willing to have my mind changed, would you mind writing something up about why you personally think theres genocide?

    User: im reporting and blocking you
