Thanks! We were very lucky to get this house.

You're the one discounting lives. The murder rate for the Holocaust was at least 1.25 million per year and they had plans to keep going. The dubious allegations in the Black Book of Communism don't even come close to that kind of efficiency and completely discount the lives saved by having defeated the Nazis, which would not have been possible without the USSR's incredible sacrifice. It's one thing to have resentment for communism. It's just incredibly messed up to say that it's as bad or worse than Nazism.

The way the VOC people count them, yes. They include Nazis as victims for goodness sake. You can't take it seriously.

You can indeed describe something as incomparably worse when it is so bad that a comparison doesn't make sense or there's no point to making one. I really don't think I'm the one who's out of line here.

Anyway, the whole "victims of communism" trope you're invoking is just embarrassingly facile. The numbers are contrived and no consideration is ever given to the terrible conditions out of which the various revolutions came or the horrible forces they were subsequently up against, let alone comparative conditions in the so-called free world. Everyone who ever lived and died in a communist state is a crime against humanity, but whenever someone dies in the US because they had to choose between medicine and rent it's their own damn fault. Give me a break.

Sorry that your family had a bad time. It's still wild that you don't think the Nazis were incomparably worse.

Yes, war crimes are bad, but you are a sick puppy, or hopefully just very mistaken, if you think that or any other Soviet atrocities puts the USSR on par with Nazi Germany.

We should always be suspicious when someone starts both-sides'ing Nazis and Communists. Only one side was killing Nazis, after all.

[-] Kurt@lemmy.one -1 points 1 year ago

Is this something you really want to "both sides"? Only one side kills Nazis.

Don't you think we already deal with them a lot afk?

Probably to broadcast announcements.

I use Jellyfin and Finamp. When it works it's great, but it seems to always crap out after half an hour or so of streaming.
