‘They pretend like they care about marginalized groups then gloss over the fact these 3 dudes murdered literally millions of people.’

Miscategorizing Lenin, Stalin, and Máo as ‘fascists’ is pretty careless in and of itself, but it’s the ableism that really necessitates an apology. Unacceptable.

Coincidentally, though, Serbia under Axis occupation classified communism as a mental illness.

    Anytime where someone says a single person literally murdered millions of people they are completely off-base and out of touch (unless we’re literally talking about the fingers that push the buttons which send the nukes). The only reason why you can even blame a single leader for the deaths of millions during war is because you are accepting the concept that abdicating responsibility for one’s actions up the chain of command is a valid thing to do.

      I would say even the hand pushing the nuke button is a consequence of a long string of actions and conditions leading to that moment.
