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.

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

    Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

    It was coined before the civil war, but it spread as a term used outside of Russia because of the civil war.
    Could you cite that please? It isn’t that I don’t believe you I just want to know where you learned it.

    Looks like I misremembered. It was popularized following the assassination of Tsar Alexander II.

    There were a LOT of pogroms during the Russian Civil War, like 1,500 just from 1918-1920.

    Pogroms

    The term “pogrom” historically refers to violent attacks on Jews by local non-Jewish populations. Learn about pogroms before, during, and after the Holocaust.
