Why do you feel uncomfortable with criticizing a mass murdering war criminal?
The dude didn’t hate communism for their values but for belonging to the enemy. He was a Jew but hated his own people (he said he’d gave been an antisemite if he wasn’t born a Jew, with a motivation as asinine as “they must have been doing something wrong to be persecuted for 2000 years”, as if he didn’t know what propaganda was), including ignoring executions of Jews in USSR.
He personally ordered THOUSANDS of bombings in Cambodia and in many many other countries, was responsible for multiple coups and replacing democratic leaders with dictators (this is not something you do if you genuinely belive in democracy over communism), and was an overall monster.
I mean really? How many unsubstantiated claims do you want to make, and must I really call them out?
A “mass murderer”, really, can you provide evidence other than IamRight weblinks?
No you cannot, a legitimate criticism would be that he turned a blind eye to war crimes, he was not a mass murderer. That’s nothing more than hyperbola.
He was “A Jew but hated his own people”. Wow okay, yeah sure, that’s so egregious it doesn’t require rebuttal.
In any case, where did I state that I rejected criticism? I simply pointed out that Lemmy got a hardon today for dogpiling on this subject and there is no discourse, there is only group think.
I never claimed that discourse doesn’t require rebuttal, in fact invite it. Honest debate is important.
Now I’m not saying this directly to you, but most of the replies I’m getting are not that. And most of the posts and threads about this subject are not that. It’s an echo chamber.
I just don’t want more irrelevant “lol you stupid” responses because they are pointless.
Now I’m probably going to piss you off here. But I don’t put a lot of stock in random .com and .net type links.
If they are .edu or at least well reviewed wiki article then I’ll consider them. Because I can also find links that support any argument and claim any “truth”.

So you’re not able to find information about the bombings he personally approved of?
Blind eye? He INSTIGATED the war crimes, intentionally, because he wanted them to happen

You’re pretending it doesn’t require rebuttal because you think big lie rhetorics works with people who know this shit better than you do

You’re ironically engaging in more group think than the rest of us by going all in on contrarianism
