Mongostein“I don’t think Stalin is someone to be looked up to”
“REEEEEEEEEE”
Murdering your own people = “flawed”? He was a monster. Him helping to defeat a different monster doesn’t change that.
Even if we believed the wildly exaggerated numbers from the black book of communism, that still doesn’t compare to the victims of capitalism, Churchill alone killed millions in Bengal but you don’t care about that do you
Ah but you see Bengalis are brown so they tuned everything after that out.
I’m not the one defending atrocities, you guys are. Whataboutism doesn’t stop the guy YOU’RE actively choosing to idolize from being terrible.
If your claim is that he’s bad because he killed people and we show that capitalists killed more people that seems like a relevant counterargument, no? Or do bad things only count when state department propaganda agrees with you?
What do you think you’re countering with that argument? No one was discussing communism it capitalism in this argument. Just: Stalin was an evil man.
Saying someone else was more evil doesn’t unmurder all those people, does it? You’ve countered no part of anyone’s argument because no one mentioned anything about what you think you’ve countered. You just tried to distract from the fact that you idolize a piece of shit. It’s bizarre you can’t grasp that.
"If I condemn everything and everyone, that makes me the most pure! Actually try to make the world better? That would only degrade my purity!’
How was Stalin an “eViL” man when all he did was to kill some Nazis? Thats like calling an antibiotic evil for killing bacteria.
