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 think he defended Milosevic. But from what I remember reading, he rejected the comparison between Hitler and cited western media/western organizations saying the same thing. He might’ve gone a step further and said something like Milosevic was serving the people. But it’s odd even if you believe Parenti is evil because how is denying a genocide worse than not only denying an ongoing one, but actively funding it and supporting it materially

No, this is literally all about Parenti's "To Kill a Nation."

Me and a friend did a deep dive on those claims last night after seeing this post and they all circle around a zenz style natoid referencing his own articles lumping parenti in with a couple guys with "Among other genocide deniers such as:" (uncited)

Using the fact Milosevic wrote a forward for To Kill a Nation published by verso as evidence. You can see that genocide denier claim made (uncited) in many published materials about Bosnian Genocide Denial.

You can watch the associated lecture and see what's up here (01:17:15)
