.Ml finally got me to block the entire instance after an extended fight over my comment that putting people in concentration camps is bad. Tankies are just as unhinged as maga.

They've consumed the propaganda wholly. I was banned for an instance of being "rude" because I don't really know why, I only asked why they were so heated over Taiwan. Meanwhile they probably gloated and metaphorically pissed on my banned corpse.
The most mind boggling thing about this is that tankies absolutely would do it again. One of their favorite defenses of this is calling it "necessary" or "without alternatives" next to saying it didnt happen or its the mostly fault of others.
Also I don't think Churchill was into 14 year old girls.
Please fill me in on Churchill's millions of dead famine plz (Serious question).
Bengal Famine lead to 2-3 million dead.
I think India suffered multiple famines under UK's rule, and one under Churchill, but I can't say I am 100% certain
Yes it resulted between 60 millions and 160 millions death over 40 years
Let's not forget Churchill's use of chemical weapons.

It was a crime, for sure; but i wouldn't equal it with the Holodomor.
The British also implemented inflation policies during the war aimed at making more resources available for Allied troops. These policies, along with other economic measures, created the "forced transferences of purchasing power" to the military from ordinary people, reducing their food consumption.
The brittish themselves were close to starving, and I can't find any specific malicious intent, so it sounds like collateral damage and a preference for britain:
while aid from Churchill's war cabinet was limited, ostensibly due to a wartime shortage of shipping.
Shipping that was sunk by the Nazi wolfpacks.
So is this (the meme post) another try to rehabilitate the soviet atrocities?
I can't find any specific malicious intent, so it sounds like collateral damage and a preference for britain:
You don't even pause for a moment to ask why the fuck the tiny island of Britain is even in a position to do such a thing halfway across the world?
Their entire colonialist presence in India and Asia was malicious from the beginning.
Favorising the British over the Indians was, by itself, criminal. It was a policy failure caused by racism, a negation of the Indians' needs. But yeah, the conditions and the intent were not the same as during the Holodomor.
Sure, but not ordering millions to die when you could have not is different.
I agree.
