I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
That’s obviously not true, we’re all ready to admit Stalin made the grievous error of stopping at Berlin.
Lysenko was kinda a L too.
But “crimes”? As if.
I’ll take the bold stance that the sparrow eradication campaign was a big miss from Mao.
The sparrows deserved it
I mean, as long as we’re talking genuine criticisms, there’s a pretty long list. Mao wasn’t personally responsible for everything that happened in the Cultural Revolution but it was a huge mess, there may have been some good intentions at its core but the old 70% correct 30% mistakes addage is well known for a reason. I’m probably less critical of Stalin than Mao but Stalin relocated ethnic groups, trusted FDR and Churchill way too much, and did a pretty bad job of figuring out succession (as unexpected as his death was).
