I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

    Hexbear, lemmygrad and (in great part) lemmy.ml are tankie instances.

    They basically deny any crimes of Stalin, Mao etc…

      I mean Mao greatly regretted his plans and was very sad they didnt work, he went onto become a vegan and grow his own food as to not get the food meant for the workers

        Responsible for estimated 40 million deaths on the low end.

        “Oopsie, my b.”

        All is forgiven.

            Mao played a personal role in organising the mass repressions and established a system of execution quotas,[175] which were often exceeded.[165] He defended these killings as necessary for the securing of power.[176]

            You ever love a group of people so much you personally set an execution quota on them?

        So all hitler had to do was say he regretted his plans and all would be fine?
