The European Parliament passed a resolution that declared Holodomor — the starvation of millions of people in Ukraine in the 1930s under Soviet leader Joseph Stalin — a "genocide".
Europe sucks ass. Sorry literally everybody else who was historically hurt by those famines, which afflicted the entirety of the USSR, especially Kazakhstan.
That top article was interesting. It's a good read, but if you don't have time I'll sum it up with two main ideas:
The Soviet repression against perpetrators of the holocaust and other rightwingers was brutal, and sometimes innocent people were caught up in it, but it is not equal to the holocaust. History shouldn't be rewritten around a false assumption of moral equivalence.
There would be a lot of pushback around this re-writing of history to equate communism with the holocaust, but 6 million of the jews that could speak against it were killed. The only voices left are the perpetrators and their sympathizers.

I'm increasingly convinced that much of Europe is just extremely anti-semitic and aren't that bothered by complaints about anti-semitism
