Jacobinmag has no trouble with its host.
- stefantalpalaru 9y ago> Jacobinmag has no trouble with its host. Neither the various groups calling themselves "Young Turks". It's like historical atrocities have an expiration date, after which they lose any power to scandalise.
- tomjakubowski 9y agoThat's quite the stretch to say the Jacobins committed "genocide".
- thanatropism 9y agoHistory is written by the winners.
- xienze 9y agoDitto "The Young Turks"
- rxhernandez 9y agoAnd there is controversy insofar as whether they truly committed a genocide with many scholars saying they didn't. There is no controversy with regard to Nazis. If you did 10 minutes of research you could find as much.
- barce 9y agoThere is no controversy. The genocide happened. I've met the survivors. They were brought to my school and I saw the tattoos with numbers on them. I saw the sadness in their eyes. The Holocaust denial statements you've spewed would be illegal and banned in Germany, too.
