- d0mine 8y agoHow is it terrible compared to other similar in scale countries?

- d0mine 8y agoI don't get the logic: if you do it, you are a terrible person. If we do it, we are fighting for freedom or some such. If you use the term "whataboutism", you are either ignorant or a shill.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoIt's terrible no matter who does it. You tried to claim that it was less terrible for the USSR to do it, because other countries did it too.
- d0mine 8y agoWorse than no justice is only selective justice: one set of rules for us vs. another set of rules for them
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoTrue, but no justice is still pretty bad, and you're advocating for it vigorously.
- PeterisP 8y agoIf we disregard the geopolitics and foreign interventions, cold war UK, France or USA was a decent regime to its own people. If we disregard the geopolitics and foreign interventions, cold war USSR was a horrible regime against its own people. There are all kinds of horrible things done by those regimes to their own people as well, but they aren't comparable in scale.
- swebs 8y agoThe Soviet regime was so terrible that they had to build a wall to keep people in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall
- partiallypro 8y agoMaybe the fact that it murdered more people than Hitler's Reich?
- darkhorn 8y agoIn Bulgaria out of 8 million peple between 100000 and 300000 people were killed during the communist regime.
- PeterisP 8y agoThe other similar in scale countries have performed much less atrocities against their own population. China has a bit larger total numbers, but they're not similar in scale.
