      Stalin,

      The kulaks were not a people but an economic class, and a famine is not a genocide[1].

      Augusto Pinochet, and American ones.

      Where are they apologizing for Pinochet or the US? That doesn’t even make sense.

          You are genuinely confused about something. I’m not sure where the mismatch happened but what you’re saying doesn’t make sense. They were defending Allende, the Chilean social democrat who was killed by Pinochet. And are you saying that by using a pretty common Captain America meme they’re doing genocide denial about the Native American genocide? Because that meme is common enough that I didn’t even know it was a Captain America screencap.

      It’s impossible to competently read those screenshots and come away with the idea that, say, kittenz is “denying genocide” re: Pinochet. The others are similarly ridiculous, they just don’t mean thst at all.

      Instead of gesturing to a post with like 10 screenshots of text, why not quote kittenz and say what you think is genocide denial.

          For example we objectively know that most of the claims against Stalin were falsified. Not to say he was perfect but even the CIA admits they falsefied it.

          Literally nothing about genocide.

          Salvador Allende was a great democratic socialist who supposedly did everything right and look what happened to him

          Literally nothing about genocide and you seem to completely misunderstand kittenz orientation to Allende.

          Obviously a reply to someone telling them to stop talking.

          So you have nothing. I think you should take some time to ask why you are so confident even though it really seems that you are having difficulty reading and understanding what’s in front of you. I don’t mean the latter as an insult, it is perfectly fine to not immediately understand something. The issue is that you act very certain about a topic where you are actually uncertain.

          What supposed genocides are they being an apologist of here?

          Apologia B: Salvador Allende was a great democratic socialist who supposedly did everything right and look what happened to him Apologia

          What? Salvador Allende is not Pinochet, and Pinochet was opposed to him. You do know that Pinochet was the one to overthrow Allende, right?
          How can this even be interpreted as support for Pinochet?

          Apologia C: [President Biden image captioned with “No, I don’t think I will.”]

          That’s not even Biden, nor is there any genocide apologia going on there.
