What does Owlbread think of Corbyn?

Reddit is blocked in Russia. Now Twitter, please. I want Twitter with no Russians

And do a proper block that can't be avoided by any simple proxy.

Apparently only the page blacklisted by Roskomnadzor is blocked in Russia, and the rest of the site is available just fine, so, unfortunately for the folks in r/worldnews, r/europe, r/ukraina and r/ukrainianconflict, those bloody Russian subhumans are still able to post there.

Hurray for freedom of speech!

Now now, don't call people subhuman. Even if they're acting odiously they're all too human.

I'm just paraphrasing the average altitude of the above-mentioned subreddits towards the Russian people. They are notorious for their militant anti-Russian sentiment.

Two genocidal leaders who are being hail as historical/national heroes: Ataturk, Caesar.

Hell, apparently "young Turks" is a positive turnphrase in the us for "young go-getters". Which is pretty morbid.

To be fair the older turks were probably the ones doing the genocide, the truly young turks only wanted to assassinate random arch dukes.

Three genocidal leaders who are being hail as historical/national heroes: Ataturk, Caesar, Mandela.

[Il Palazzo]

Do tell us about Mandela's genocides!

[TD1]

He was a high up member of the ANC, dedicated to terrorism and murder, and also most likely a member of the South African Communist Party, which essentially took the ANC over through any means, violent or otherwise.

I also remember reading that he wiped out a black tribe in his early days, but that's largely unsubstantiated as I can't remember where I heard/read it.

Of course, I can only go by the subtitles.

[Il Palazzo]

Are you aware of the meaning of genocide?

[TD1]

Yes, the wiping out of a group of people.

The video I edited in to my post shows him singing about killing whites.

Many white farmers were persecuted during his leadership of the ANC.

[LordSlowpoke]

let me just casually lampshade the existence of that one guy who'll say whites can't be genocided

carry on

Umkhonto we sizwe did kill without due process and did torture, but that doesn't make it any more genocidal than French La Resistance or Polish AK.

The song is about fighting Boers, by the way. Sung at funerals of members of the organisation. Whether that's a good thing or not to have in a song is a matter of debate.
See here:

(it's the Go Well Spear of the Nation)

[TD1]

Okay. And "kill the Boers!" is not genocidal?

Plus, amabhulu is taken to mean Boer by you, but it is the equivalent to saying "whiteman" in most of South Africa.

[Il Palazzo]

I don't know. Is 'kill the Kraut' genocidal in your opinion? How about kill the Nazi? What if all Nazis are white (spoiler: they were!)? Is hate speech the same as genocide? Are war songs genocidal? Is Inglorious Basterds genocidal? Is murder genocide? Is being a terrorist genocide? Is everything genocide?

The word has a specific meaning, and you can't just throw it at anyone you find reprehensible for whatever (in this case I think: poor) reasons.
