      Look mang you really have been kinda disingenuous and frankly incurious.

      You need to look into the methodology used in the black book of communism, the lengths they went to tack on as many zeroes as possible, the fact that they include German nazi soldier deaths from ww2 as part of the numbers alone - does that really not make you feel like… a little curious as to the angle? Its use as a propaganda piece? Can you be as critical of the millions of deaths attributed to capitalism? Imperialism? Do you levy such criticisms… ever?

      “their evil communist propaganda, our good and noble capitalist truth”

      I do hope you look into the origins of “whataboutism” like the other posters said, if you can stop your knees from jerking for but a moment. Speaking human to human here.

      I think they’re funny when they only exist in the imaginations of people like you, lmfao.

      Right, so no sources.

        • You: Sources?
        • Me: [Points to article with dozens of reputable sources.]
        • You: Right, so no sources.

        Sheer denialism.

            “Unborn Nazis” is literally what the black book of communism is calling victims of communism, you should do some more research before you remove comments, mod.

            Which source is reputable?

            Why should I list them all for you, when I’ve already linked to the article that does so? Here are just a few:

            Calling unborn Nazis victims of the soviet union is laughable at best.

            Calling an unborn person a Nazi is about as offensive as it gets. Blocked.
