Rewriting history to own the Russians. Even if they came to this conclusion based on actual facts (they didn't), why don't they care about the non-Ukrainians who died?

European Parliament adopts literally Nazi propaganda as official doctrine
Yet another piece for the "liberals hate socialists more than they hate fascists" pile
Wow now they'll surely categorise every famine started by the British in India as a genocide right? Or maybe other famines in other colonised countries started by white people?
You mean like the famine that happened on the southern plains of the US in the 1930s?
I wonder how much unforseen diplomatic and political blowback this will cause with Africa, India, and Latin America.
Nothing much as of now since these countries don't take too much of a anti western stance. Although I wish India just improved relations with China and moved closer to them instead of sucking up to colonialists.
You're probably right. I'm just being optimistic that it'll come up during the next insufferable Euro lecture to the Global South about how everyone needs to sacrifice their energy needs to support the Banderites.
It’s a multi-combo!
- Russia bad!
- Socialism bad!
- Holocaust wasn’t as bad!
- Rehab Hitler!
Damn, that sucks. I wonder what people were fighting about in that part of the world? Oh well. I'm sure it's nothing important.
Edit: Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe I'm an asshole, but as a Jew with some historical awareness, I get kinda annoyed that the fight to liberate Jews from the antisemitic landlord class of Ukraine is portrayed as the greatest crime in modern history.
just gonna leave this here if anyone needs it - from 1988:

edit: adding a few choice quotes
“They’re always looking to come up with a number bigger than six million,” observed Eli Rosenbaum, general counsel for the World Jewish Congress. “It makes the reader think: ‘My god, it’s worse than the Holocaust.’ ”
Your husband’s courage and dedication to liberty will serve as a continuing source of inspiration to all those striving for freedom and self-determination. — Letter from President Reagan to the widow of Yaroslav Stetsko, ranking OUN terrorist, murderer, and Nazi collaborator, read by retired general John Singlaub at a conference of the World Anti-Communist League, September 7, 1986
Just as the Nazis used the OUN for their own ends, so has Reagan exploited the famine, from his purple-prosed commemoration of “this callous act” to his backing of the Mace commission. Faced with failing fascist allies around the world, from Nicaragua to South Africa, the U.S. war lobby needs to boost anti-Communism as never before. Public enthusiasm to fight for the contras will not come easy. But if people could be convinced that Communism is worse than fascism; that Stalin was an insane monster, even worse than Hitler; that the seven million died in more unspeakable agony than the six million …. Well, we just might be set up for the next Gulf of Tonkin. One cannot appease an Evil Empire, after all.
They’re always looking to come up with a number bigger than six million,” observed Eli Rosenbaum, general counsel for the World Jewish Congress. “It makes the reader think: ‘My god, it’s worse than the Holocaust
Didn't the holocaust kill 11 million total. It feels weird to discount the 5 million Roma, gay people, communists, disabled people etc who were systematically murdered
No way, I cannot believe the fourth Reich has engaged in holocaust denial. :shocked-pikachu:
They will recognize Nazi propaganda before recognizing their own actions against the native Americans
What an absolute joke
Love to be a criminal because Nazi propaganda has become the official version of history.
disagreeing with Hitler is probably the coolest crime you can do if it's any consolation
Wow so brave. The European Parliament loves meaningless gestures like this.
recognize deez nuts
European poo poo shit recognizes fard as doo doo ass
As a quick fact to throw at libs: not only was the famine present across all of the USSR, but Ukraine wasn't even the worst hit - Kazakhstan lost a greater percent of it's population, but never do you hear talk of a "Kazakhdomor".
don't give them any ideas, i've heard reactionaries from all the famine hit regions whine about how the ukrainians get their genocide recognized but their's aren't
That's going to be the theme of Borat 3
A continent that would rather become vassals to fellow whiteys across the pond than to be an equal partner with the non-western BRICS bloc
aren't Russians also white
Mayo card revoked in 1917
well there we have it folks if the British want to brexit out of being European we know what they have to do
"BREXIT MEANS BREXIT!"
The billowing war cry was heard repeated across the battlefield as the First Battalion of the Norf FC Communist League (ML) charged down the streets of London. The remains of the Gherkin, collapsed a few days ago after a team of Sapper Lads mined the supports, provided cover for thousands of uncles, red in face and flag.
Three days of fighting later, the City of London was successfully dislodged from the rest of London and pushed into the sea.
