  • They have brought up some good points, but the good points they make are over shadowed by the whole genocide denial and “dunking on libs”.

    The following example is not meant to represent hexbear users, but to show an example of how I could see it.

    Think of a fascist who brings up some good examples of modern problems in about 1/10 of their messages, while the rest are talking about how Mussolini was actually good, since he brought up the living standard in Italy and expanded the public sector. And when someone brings up the bad things Mussolini did, the fascist just says “It’s clearly western propaganda”.

    You wouldn’t want to read their messages, since they are full of this fascist apologetic garbage, and the good points they bring up are ignored because of their other opinions.

    It doesn’t matter how good willed your opinions are if no one wants to associate with you.

    I couldn’t find a single mention of a fascist movement in the uprising. So either it was neglible in size, or you are just lying.

    “Insufficiently oppressive”. What? Hungary was a really oppressive nation during that time, and you wanted it to be more oppressive?

    And opressive to who? Fascist? They can just lie about not being a fascist. That leaves out to just guess who is a fascist and that sounds like a wonderful time for the citizens.

    Patton really was correct about the Soviet Union.

    Let’s take a look what started that “fascist” uprising. Years of economic mismanagement, opression, and being forced to pay a big chunk of their gdp to the Soviets for war reperations were all factors that lead to the Hungarian Revolution.

    And who did these “fascist” pick as their leader? Imre Nagy, the man who was ousted from power by the soviets for having the audacity to be a more moderate communist than hardline stallinists.

    The US doing something bad doesn’t justify someone else doing bad. Think about a nazi who uses that reasoning, they would sound like a nazi apologist.

    Yes, the US did some bad stuff, but I still view them as the lesser evil when compared to the USSR or China.

    Also Hungary doing something 65 years later doesn’t justify the actions of the Soviets.
