Asking as there has been a few comments mentioning this with the new [email protected] taking over [email protected]

[email protected] for additional context on those recent events if you are interested

Also, an older post for more context on how lemmy.ml is managed: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

Curious to hear other thoughts about this, as I’m trying to keep [email protected] active, but might suggest to move it elsewhere if a lot of people prefer not to interact with lemmy.ml communities

    You’re proof stalin shouldn’t have stopped until he hit the Pacific through the Atlantic.

      The irony of this comment…

      “What will help me win this debate with an apologist for ethnic cleansing? I know, I’ll just do ethnic cleansing apologia even harder!”

        Ethnic cleansing wasn’t a thing in the ussr, the socially progressive of the two world powers at the time. Stalin did unapologetically kill lots of Nazis though. That was good despite your Nazi apologia propaganda.

          It absolutely was.

          Looking at the entire period of Stalin’s rule, one can list: Poles (1939–1941 and 1944–1945), Kola Norwegians (1940–1942), Romanians (1941 and 1944–1953), Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians (1941 and 1945–1949), Volga Germans (1941–1945), Ingrian Finns (1929–1931 and 1935–1939), Finnish people in Karelia (1940–1941, 1944), Crimean Tatars, Crimean Greeks (1944) and Caucasus Greeks (1949–50), Kalmyks, Balkars, Italians of Crimea, Karachays, Meskhetian Turks, Karapapaks, Far East Koreans (1937), Chechens and Ingushs (1944). Shortly before, during and immediately after World War II, Stalin conducted a series of deportations on a huge scale which profoundly affected the ethnic map of the Soviet Union.[27] It is estimated that between 1941 and 1949 nearly 3.3 million were deported to Siberia and the Central Asian republics.[28] By some estimates, up to 43% of the resettled population died of diseases and malnutrition.[29]

          But of course for people who drink the Soviet Kool-Aid then I’m sure all of these millions were Nazis, counter-revolutionaries, bandits, or whatever the convenient excuse of the day was. Of course, it’s the exact same rhetoric Israel uses in its campaign, except today the convenient scapegoat is “terrorists” or “antisemites”.

          And it’s true that at least some of those people were Nazis. And it’s true that at least some Palestinians are anti-Semitic terrorists. But those facts cannot ever justify crimes against humanity.

          So no, it was not good, is not good, and it’s you who is engaging in nazi apologia by endorsing the same reasoning they used in their slaughter.

            Wow, look, a list of people who’s lives got immeasurably better when moved to places with jobs, food, and shelter instead of being left to die in war torn areas of the union. Thanks for proving yourself wrong.

          My family did as well thats why Israel exists, now they defend themselves against the idiological decents of Nazis.

          If you think the nazis are the Israelis you have something seriously wrong in your head.

          Now, do as i said, play with the lemmygrad “leftists”

              As already said, go take your sock puppets and stay on lemmygrad. I won’t argue with trolls.

                Nope, not how the world works, Nazi. I know it’s what you’d prefer, but we spent enough time entertaining what you prefer.

                  You aren’t entertaining sadly, most lemmygrad people at least try to behave more like actual people and not as obviously like trollfarm “bots”, calling me nazi is also not doing you any favor. But i think you know that.

                  Again, lemmygrad is open for people like you, and you wouldn’t have to burden yourself seeing normal people ever again in your life.
