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.
I’ll take the bold stance that the sparrow eradication campaign was a big miss from Mao.
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).
The sparrows deserved it
Lysenko was kinda a L too.
But “crimes”? As if.
