First of all, I love how goat decided that I must have been referring to the ‘Holodomor’ canard based on… nothing. Neither I nor Cowbee mentioned it in the thread, so I have no choice but to assume that goat simply picked this inference at random. Read the thread yourself if you don’t believe me; there are no fucking clues whatsoever that I must have been referring to that famine.

Second, LEL, as if we’d waste our time reporting anti-Bolshevist dullards on a piss bucket like Feddit.

Third, I have never seen anybody say that everything that the people’s republics did was ‘just fine’. Moscow’s abuse of gay men, for example, was obviously not fine, but if you tried to blame that on anything other than ‘Stalinism’ then I am guessing that anti-Bolshevists would misinterpret your alternative explanation as a justification. Same thing if you attributed a Soviet famine to anything other than ‘Stalinism’. That sure sounds like a knee-jerk reaction to me. Presumably goat & alia would beg to differ, but what their rationale would be is anybody’s guess.

Fourth, I hate to explain a joke, but I was making fun of anticommunists secretly being misogynist White supremacists, which includes a substantial portion of the death toll that they attribute to us.

Lastly — and most importantly — the implication that I do nothing other than ‘casual genocide denialism’ and metaphorically perform sexual favors for dictators is ironic since I regularly talk about extermination campaigns, yet users in most other instances are going to have trouble finding my topics thanks to goat’s aggressive campaign to convince nearly every instance to blacklist our communities. While concealing information is not the same thing as denial, what goat did was arguably worse than denial since now more people are going to be completely unaware of a tragedy that I’ve called the proto-Shoah, wherein European pogromniks exterminated over 115,000 Jews.

It’s too late for goat to undo all of that aggressive campaigning now. The administrators have already made up their minds. Nobody wants to spend hours sharing and tweaking all of my educational topics. And even if goat did share a few of them (which, believe it or not, I wouldn’t mind), goat would be unable to answer questions that others would have, and would most likely be unwilling to update the topics on demand, too. The damage is done. There is little that anybody can do to fix the mess that goat made. If goat ever reads this topic, I’d like to congratulate them: nobody will deny the Pomeranian massacres, the Finnish killings of Soviet prisoners, or the attack of Yekatit 12 since almost nobody will have any fucking clue what those even were in the first place… good choice.

    PugHitler has been really doubling down on the regime propaganda on Iran lately too.

    “If Iran sho[o]ts and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform without giving details about what a “rescue” would look like.

    “We are locked and loaded and ready to go,” the president added.

    Then on January 13, he wrote, “Help is on its way,” appearing to address Iranian demonstrators. He urged them to “take over your institutions” while issuing threats to Iranian authorities if protesters were killed.

    The nazi dog and his gaggle of friends literally can’t stop lying in service of empire

      another 16000 possible deaths over two months is hardly unbelievable

      This is “source” according to pugjesus?

        For their numbers to true, Iran would have to have killed, on average, a person every minute for two months straight.

        This is a country of 90 million people btw. They are claiming Iran somehow eliminated 1 out of every 900 people in the country…the bulk of which supposedly occurred over a single weekend.

        How would they manage the logistical aspect of this operation?

        How many operators do they have employed and trained for this? Do they have schools to train them? How did they desensitize them to committing such violent attrocities without widespread desertion or mental health crises? The Nazis came up with gas chambers because the worst people to ever live could not cope with the trauma of carrying out the gruesome task of shooting people for very long.

        Or are you telling me they mowed down hordes of protestors in batches large enough to be the biggest mass murders in human history?..all without a shred of evidence? Israel claims to have tapped most of their street cams. Would Israel not want to show the world the most useful propaganda footage possible? No bystanders had cameras?..even from a distant window? Even with the internet blackout, someone would have slept on it and found a way to distribute that footage.

        Even then, how is the disposal of human remains carried out? 100,000 people is ~15,000,000 lbs of weight that would require a large scale logistical operation to move and dispose. At a minimum, you would need thousands of vans, if not tens of thousands, or many hundreds of fully loaded semi trucks. Are these murderous operators trained to drive 18 wheelers or are they hiring more drivers that they have to trust to not share footage? Iran would have had to have all these logistical operations ready to go, because these events unfolded quite quickly. Was all this equipment lying around unused, but in possession of security forces or they were all rented and booked within a couple days, without affecting the normal operation of their markets?

        All of this is so clearly fabricated if you perform even the slightest bit of thinking about how this would be carried out in the real world. But again, these people live in a liberal fantasy world where magical thinking rules supreme.

        PJ and the clique of anti-communists believe this shit not because they find it credible, but because it serves as confirmation bias justifying their western chauvinism and inner white supremacy, relieving them of the guilt for the atrocities carried out by a system they expressly defend and refuse to unite with the people who wish to see it overthrown. They cannot handle the cognitive dissonance that other societies are not bloodthirsty savages like themselves, so they easily believe fabricated evidence that lets them feel okay about their complicity with the system responsible for the bulk of violence around the globe.

      So 7,000 are confirmed but it could be up to 19,000. With that in mind. 35,000 is not unbelievable. And considering that number, 57,000 seems plausible. And if you go with that, I could totally see 80,000. And if they already killed 80k, is 100,000 really that much of a stretch?
