Huh. I just remembered you clamming up after being presented evidence the Bolsheviks were punishing people persisting with pogroms. I see you.
What are you even talking about right now I never had a discussion about that
Yes we did. I wanted to investigate with you. You didn't. I did anyway.
Did I explicitly say I didn't want to investigate it or did I not respond to a comment? My Lemmy inbox frequently has 30+ messages from posts and occasionally I just press "read all" instead of reading everything first to clear it. If you can remind me what where this was you might be right but I don't recall it.
It was a long time ago but I think it was probably related to the ongoing Palestinian genocide and wound back around to WW2 and the interment and mass murder of Jewish and other groups. So then back around to the Bolshevik revolution and programs. Don't worry yourself too much over it, sometimes we both get way overinvested in internet political discussions. I still recognize the very valuable contributions you make to raising awareness and appreciate your work. I also don't think you're a bad person, just human like the rest of us.
Thanks likewise. I might be wrong about Yugoslavia btw, I've read chapters of the book (and some other stuff some time ago) but and my knowledge on it isn't that deep. I also watched the BE video and the BE video still seems to hold up, it's not denying Parenti book but just adding additional important context. But I've already got enough stuff going on along with my posting so I don't really feel like reading the entire history of the Bosnian war so if I'm wrong on this one I'll just take the L.
You're welcome and thank you. I have a deep respect for you. I could be misremembering as well, we're human, it happens. And we both have lives outside the internet, and should be able and allowed to live them abundantly, and in peace. May it be so, forevermore.
I wouldn't count it as an L, either way. While it may temporarily embarrass our egos, perhaps we learn and grow more by learning where we are mistaken, plus it helps us to stop/not lead others amiss.
Namaste, if you catch my drift. ๐โค๏ธ๐ซ
