    Long form holodomor denial? Good look lol. Now do the Armenian Genocide, and follow up with “that wasn’t real communism” and we’ll hit 'em all!

    So you really think that the communists I talk to are usually genocide denialists because I’m clearly not communist and not interested in listening to pages of genocide denial, so the communists who aren’t genocide denialists won’t talk to me? Maybe that’s the problem, but it isn’t a “me” problem, it’s a “communists who don’t deny their atrocities” problem, they should again be “louder” than their “not numerous” compatriots. Every 50th (ykwim) one I get will actually admit those failings, but then they usually still want to kill a bunch of people now which I also sorta kinda have a problem with. Murder is wrong even if you dehumanize your enemy sufficiently and feel justified, self defense is one thing but that easily gets twisted from reality to fit their revenge fantasies, and I’m really just not about it.
