Sometimes I think Paradox whitewashes the Axis in HoI, but then I'm thankful that there is no button or reference to genocide because you just know there would be tons of videos going "Using Hitler's strategy and WINNING WWII!"
Honest question: why did we accept the nickname Holodomor? Why don't we have catchy nicknames for the actually genocidal famines that the British did in their colonies? Why is it the "Belgian Congo atrocities" and not, idk, the "belgienocide" or the "capitalist turbo hand-cutter 3000"?
We don't and shouldn't. Accepting that name is literally Holocaust denial because that was its purpose — to minimize genocide by making a fictional one so that they can call us genocide deniers instead of them.
I'm surprised they didn't have Yeonmi Park make up some catchier name for the Arduous March to be honest...
The fact that it has a translation doesn't make it less of a nickname. That's like saying the name "Raphael" isn't actually a name because it means "healing of the lord" in Hebrew
I deleted the comment for a reason. You are replying to long deleted comment.
Most likely only reason it doesn't have the Holodomor is because it didn't take place during ww2
Iirc it starts in1936, it would definitely had it if earlier.
Honestly, other than the few decent spaces, I want to move away from Anglo internet altogether. The mainstream of the imperial core can (and will) goosestep their way off a cliff for all I care, I'm just honestly done, especially when the brainrot infects pretty much almost every space (save for those that go to great pains- like this space- to keep it from flooding out those with human decency and more than two working brain cells)
Can relate. I made my account a few days ago on hexbear because I'm Spanish and it's unreasonable that I've been exposed to every fucking detail about the presidential race of a country on the other side of the ocean, while I literally don't know the name of Portugal's president...

ShowNo es mia culpa que no te gusta que política americana solo es un programa de televisión para ocultar que estadounidenses no realmente pueden cambiar política exterior.
Pero, en serio, gracias para el recordatorio que nosotros estadounidenses tienen tanto propaganda.
Hey! ¡Hablas bastante bien español! Si quieres algún consejo o ayuda con el idioma, mándame un mensaje o algo. Pero te aviso de que yo hablo español de España, que es distinto al de Méjico (que probablemente sea el que hablas si eres estadounidense)
Si estoy haciendo errores, puedes corregirlo.
Me gusta practicarlo a mi español algunas veces para que aprendo más en vez de perderlo.
Pienso que las diferencias de países diferentes que habláis (lo siento, tenía que usar vosotros jaja) es interesante, pero no recuerdo mucho de ellas.

Lo corrijo: "me gusta practicar mi español algunas veces para aprender más en vez de perderlo"

No pasa nada, principalmente en algunos sitios de España tenemos el sonido equivalente al "th" en inglés (as in "thesis"). Por ejemplo, al decir "zorro" (which means fox) , en inglés se pronunciaría algo así como "tho-rro". En Latinoamérica, y en el sur de España, se pronunciaría "sorro".
I wish the dems were as cool as the republicans think they are.
One more for the pile of things that libs say that would be awesome if true
