In general their stance on atrocities is that they are all Western misinformation (it didn't happen, and even if it did they deserved it).
How would you feel if you met a Holocaust denier? Or a Japanese nationalist who believes that their country was the victim in WW2? Or you somehow meet an English who expresses that same sentiment towards India? Now extend that same feeling of disgust to these people.
Any view on history/society that involves the word “deserved” is probably not for me lol. Thanks for the response.
As you guessed my bullshit meter was tingling which made me make this post in the first place. Only did a surface level browsing but it seems to be the largest lefty instance on lemmy so far and it has the most active latestagecapitalism community, which is pretty harmless, so it gave me some pause.
Interesting that lemmy would allow such instances to exist while mastodon prohibits them. Still learning the fediverse so I appreciate it.
