i feel like the fact that amerikkkan equipment is overpriced must be a big factor too.

yes 130 million in the americas not in what is now the usa the most populated areas where in central america and the Andes. even high estimates for what is now the usa and canada are at around 8 million the highest dont go above 13 million which is around the number of soviet civilians the nazis killed and much lower that the total number of civilians the nazis killed. and going even further most of those people died from diseases. by the time the usa became a country there were only 700k indegenous people in what is now the the contiguous us i think its fair to say the usa is responsible for the genocides that happened even before that but point is in terms of raw numbers there is no comparison.

u say in terms of scale it was the most expansive but what scales are those.

Biggest genocide by what metrics? Certainly not by percent, the genocides in the Caribbean take the grim prize there, and even the highest estimates of pre 1492 population of us and canada combined are lower than the number of soviet civilians alone that the nazis killed and not all of those people died and most of those who died did so from disease before the genocide even begun so it cant be by raw numbers. so im curious by what metric u evaluate it to be the biggest genocide? maybe by land area held while doing the genocide? but im pretty sure even then the tsar's russia would win.

these are farm owners not farm workers, i mean some are probably petite bourgeoisie, but most definitely not proletariats. These "farmers" are mad that Ukrainian economic integration into the EU will drive them out of business because Ukraine is such a large producer of agricultural goods and because their labor cost are lower, their complains are on par with people complaining about "them immigrants" coming over to take out jobs.

literally has a socialism checklist as if centuries of history and the material conditions of any and all nations on earth could be boiled down to 7 bullets points, straight up dogma.

yeah so many propagandists point to the slow down in economic growth from "socialist god" levels to "economic miracle" levels and are like china is falling apart they are due for a depression any day

oh no the horror Wikipedia is silencing alternative "medicine", wikipedia has its biases and problems aka they are libs but on most topics they are an excellent resource.

that has nothing to do with it, its still bad that those people died and we shouldn't be making jokes about it. its fucked up that ur respose to someone saying that civilians dying is bad and we shouldnt laugh at it is to point out that more civilians died elsewhere, what is wrong with u.

Thats a lot of words to address things i didnt fucking say. maybe i should not have said "targets" maybe i should have said "kills" instead, but lets be clear is not like Russia wouldnt if the felt they needed to, they have targeted civilian infrastructure like the powergrid before.
