The United States is no different than Russia. If anything, y’all are worse.

??? No different than Russia? HAVE YOU READ THE HISTORY OF THE U.S.? THERE ISN’T EVEN A SIDE OF COMPARISON RUSSIA LOOKS LIKE THE LAND OF PEACE COMPARED TO THE U.S.

I suggest you read “Endless Holocausts: Mass Death in the History of the United States Empire”

Try reading about the Russian Civil War some time.
average .world user, how is the Russian civil war worse than anything the U.S.?
From 1917to 1922 between 7-12 million Russians, mostly civilians, were killed. This includes hundreds of thousands of Jews killed in pogroms (genocidal race riots). The Red Terror involved Bolsheviks conducting executions to wipeout political dissent and any threats to their power. The White Terror involved a collection of conservatives, monarchists, and proto-fascists exciting communists and genociding Jews. This doesn’t count people who died in forced labor camps, which by some accounts saw a 10-20% fatality rate per month. There were mass rapes and looting wherever the several armies went. It’s been described to be as close to Hell on Earth as it gets. Between WWI and the Russian Civil War, the total population fell from around 170 million to 134 million.
Citation?
Russian Civil War - Wikipedia

Using whole Wikipedia pages as citations is terminally lib brained. At least cite the specific wikipedia sources jfc.
  • asking for citations for one of the most important and well known events of the 20th century is lazy and obnoxious.

  • “Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.

  • don’t bitch about my comments when you have put absolutely no effort into yours.

  • Asking citations is how we differentiate for everyone to see the people who know what they’re talking about vs the ignorant libs who have “popular knowledge” and fuck all else. Lazy and obnoxious is the name for the lib playbook, talking about shit they half remember from ~propaganda~ fiction they pretend is the same as history.

    I hope you have half as much hate for fascists as you do for libs.

    I don’t have the time nor the crayons to simplify the Russian Civil War so you would understand it. Asking for a citation that you could easily do a basic web search for is at best lazy and at worst sealioning.

    Imagine thinking you can explain the Russian civil war to a communist with your wikipedia linking ass. Go read an actual book sometime.

    Learning the term Sealioning doesn’t absolve you from sourcing your claims, maybe try learning a single concept correctly instead of having confidence that you got the gist of it from the vibes and a twenty second skim of whatever google spit back at you.

    A 20 second skim and a link to Wikipedia is all it takes to prove something so obviously false. What part did I get wrong?
