If the anticommunists’ actions in the Eastern Front, Korea, Vietnam, East Timor, Mozambique, Guatemala, and elsewhere has taught me anything, it is that they certainly don’t care about thousands of children needlessly dying.
As Miz notes, the fact that they don’t get movies and fantasy books and groups of people sobbing over the possibility of one of them escaping and being alive somewhere is telling. There is this fantasy, this slave/subject mentality towards royalty even still among the Anglos.
And these are the same people by the way who will look at citizens of the DPRK sobbing about the death of one of the Kim’s (as is tradition there in Korea) en mass and think “wow so brainwashed, imagine caring about a leader that doesn’t care about you and starved lots of people” without an ounce of understanding of the comedy of this given their own sympathies. Just outrageous double-think.
I don’t think that’s correct. They care very much about it. They do everything they can to make it happen.
Occupational hazards of hereditary monarchy (and historically such hazard was super low chance). Note they don’t cry about children dying from hunger because their parents died in Bloody Nicky wars or got murdered by Bloody Nicky cossacks, or in pogroms insipred by Bloody Nicky and so on and on and on.
The best response that you’ll get from anticommunists is the same one when somebody reminds them of Imperial America’s horrific atrocities: the most half‐assed condemnation possible. ‘Huh? Oh, um, yeah, that’s, uh… bad… too… I guess…’
so strange that none of those starved kids ever got a feature film made about them by Don Bluth eighty years later
what is this emoji supposed to be
It’s the wall the Romanovs were lined up against when they were executed by the Bolsheviks.
Edit: here’s the image it was cropped from.
The kids were already fucked up, and they’d have staged a coup. So yeah, and I’ll go one better: they deserved to die first.
The younglings had it coming
still hard to believe that Lucas named Jedi trainees after some beer from Pennsylvania
I kill them younglings every damn night
The only sad thing is that some got away.
The youngest of this “kids” was old enough to serve in tsarist army, but liberals won’t cry about all the real kids conscripted and killed in ww1 or Russo-Japanese wars
