It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I'm going to be real, I don't really understand what happened after Tito died other than it was a very violent race war and then the US started bombing cities and blew up a Chinese embassy on purpose.

But I understand that Parenti supported the Serbians pretty heavily and most liberals at least say that they're the ones who were doing a genocide.

Wrong. Maybe do read his book. He didn't took the side of Serbs any more than proving that the western propaganda blaming Serbs for everything was false.

This feels like splitting semantic hairs. Regardless of the truth of the matter, if the prevailing wisdom is that a group committed genocide and you're are arguing that they didn't then I don't see how you aren't supporting them?

I'm not trying to demonize Parenti here, I think he's great.

Parenti does not claim Bosniak Serbs did not comitted genocide, ffs why so many people just parrot this outright liberal take instead of actually reading the book?
