Yep, everything’s fine. Ukraine is not under assault from Russia. Ukraine is not trying to fight the expansion of one of the most aggressive empires of history. Ukraine is not constantly under assault from enemies foreign and domestic. Ukrainian culture is perfectly “fine”.
“Worlds most aggressive empires”- there are 3 separate entities you’re mixing together: Tsarist Empire, USSR and modern Russia. Also, Russia is nowhere near the scale of American imperialism- both economic and militarily (see Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Palestine, etc).
Ukrainian culture is nowhere near under the same threat as the Holocaust. You can call something bad a refrain from doing Holocaust revisionism you do realise this?
Edit: as what Jewish, Roma, Polish, Russian,etc culture was under/during the holocaust*
I never said the Holocaust wasn’t bad. For the love of all that is holy, stop fixating on the Holocaust. It is done. It is over. But the effects of it are not as expansive or long term as the effects of the Soviets.
Telling people to get over the Holocaust is what a Nazi would say mate. You aren’t contending with my points, youre adhering to Nazi talking points… and then just repeating them as though they’re self-evident…
My point isn’t that the Holocaust wasn’t bad, just that it’s not the only genocide in history. The Soviets committed genocide as well. In one instance known as the Holodomor, about 5 million Ukrainians died of famine, likely deliberately created by Stalin to eliminate opposition.
Show conclusive evidence of it being deliberate historians have been looking it for ages. There is less evidence to suggest it was “deliberate” than to suggest it was unintentional; considering Kazakhs and Russians died (in the case of Kazakhs a higher proportion of their population died aswell)
Also it wasn’t 5million Ukrainians… it was between 1-2million and the famine had total deaths amounting to approx.3-3.5million depending on whose estimates (use Wheatcroft and Davies!) If you want watch BadEmpanada’s video on the matter…
(Or read Wheatcroft and Davies!!!)
Total death toll no less than 5.5 million deaths in the broader famine, and at least 3.3 million of those were ethnic Ukrainians. Regarding whether it was a genocide, scholar Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term “genocide”, states that it was genocide, and an experiment in Russification.
Yep sorry my bad about the death figures I should’ve reread Wheatcroft and Davies section before I wrote, yes it was 5.5million and around 3million Ukrainians.
Lemkin never delved deep into the topic, he lived in a time where he had no access to Soviet archives, so it was the assumption this was the case; I suggest you watch the BE video from 23:33 onwards… Lemkin didn’t study Holodomr specifically; it was a passing comment and it was before the Soviet/
-archives were released so understanding of the history was not as reliable, which all historians would agree with hence why there was a massive reevaluation of Soviet history once people had access to said archives.
Read Wheatcroft and Davies bro…
I know the Nazis were bad, I merely note that because their particular threat was obvious, they were stopped. And their extremism is not the only extremism. I don’t like extremists. No matter the form. If you want to call me extremist for being against your form of extremism, that’s on you.
