I'm going to be real, I don't really understand what happened after Tito died other than it was a very violent race war and then the US started bombing cities and blew up a Chinese embassy on purpose.
But I understand that Parenti supported the Serbians pretty heavily and most liberals at least say that they're the ones who were doing a genocide.

Wrong. Maybe do read his book. He didn't took the side of Serbs any more than proving that the western propaganda blaming Serbs for everything was false.
This feels like splitting semantic hairs. Regardless of the truth of the matter, if the prevailing wisdom is that a group committed genocide and you're are arguing that they didn't then I don't see how you aren't supporting them?
I'm not trying to demonize Parenti here, I think he's great.
Parenti does not claim Bosniak Serbs did not comitted genocide, ffs why so many people just parrot this outright liberal take instead of actually reading the book?
I think he defended Milosevic. But from what I remember reading, he rejected the comparison between Hitler and cited western media/western organizations saying the same thing. He might’ve gone a step further and said something like Milosevic was serving the people. But it’s odd even if you believe Parenti is evil because how is denying a genocide worse than not only denying an ongoing one, but actively funding it and supporting it materially
No, this is literally all about Parenti's "To Kill a Nation."
Me and a friend did a deep dive on those claims last night after seeing this post and they all circle around a style natoid referencing his own articles lumping parenti in with a couple guys with "Among other genocide deniers such as:" (uncited)
Using the fact Milosevic wrote a forward for To Kill a Nation published by verso as evidence. You can see that genocide denier claim made (uncited) in many published materials about Bosnian Genocide Denial.

Well you see...
