You’re going with “I didn’t say holocaust deniers, I said low key holocaust deniers” completely different.”?
I thought that would be obvious, particularly after the explanation I gave you last night. No one is going to say "The Holocaust didn't happen" but by equating the Ruskies behavior to that of Nazi Germany it's what they're doing even if unintentionally.

lol come on bro

Hitler is most known and most infamous for his crimes against Jews. But he is also known as a dictator who attempted to conquer other European countries.

Although Putin has not targeted Jews, he checks the boxes for "dictator" and "conqueror."

So there are parallels there.

You use “low key holocaust denier” to describe those drawing comparisons between Putin and Hitler then insinuate Ukraines ambassador is one of these people. When made fun of you make a list of people who’ve claimed holocaust deniers which adds up to zero and rely on your use of “low key” as some sort of clarification. Now it’s “No one is going to say "The Holocaust didn't happen" but follow up with “ it's what they're doing even if unintentionally.” So no, it’s not obvious at all what you’re trying to convey. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for people to try and point out the similarities between the two but trying to twist that into some holocaust denial but not really but kinda what they really mean is pretty lame.

As I said, yesterday there are parallels to Putin and countless other historical leaders. But the Ukraine propaganda continues to double down on their analog being Hitler and the Third Reich.

We've now entered the "starving the Russian public" portion of the war, and we're still pretending we're the good guys. The whole thing is absurd.

There's a difference between covert and overt. Overt racism would be "Black people aren't as good as whites." Covert would be "White people need to help black people." The message is the same even though they come from different places. If you don't get that, I don't know what to tell you.

Starving the Russian public is a bit much, there's a run on various products but Russia is a net exporter of grain. They won't starve, they are noticing the loss of many goods though, which is the point. It conveys the message.

Nope.

They will run out of some things, but they won't starve. Russia produces a shitload of food.
im not sure about that. americans die of starvation every day due to poverty

with the ruble taking such a big hit, id imagine that a lot of russians are going to die of starvation and other health issues

That's just supply side. We've also created hyper inflation by devaluing their currency. So when you used to be able to buy a jug of milk for 4 rubles, you might not be able to now that it's 8. Also, keep in mind that were a couple weeks in and have countless examples of what happens when sanctions are introduced.
