Tell me one thing Hitlers regime did that Putins regime hasn't done

The Holocaust.

Russians are almost just like (thankfully) dumb

Generalizing Russians and instead of Putin's regime AND calling them stupid. Not racist at all.

So easy to beat someone when you leave out half the sentence:

I wrote "Tell me one thing Hitlers regime did that Putins regime hasn't done on a smaller scale".

And yes, Putin hasn't done the holocaust, because they thankfully aren't well enough organized to do that.

The rhetoric is there as I already mentioned. The smaller scale "disappearances" of civilians Nacht und Nebel style and experiments on larger scale exterminations like Olevnika are there.

Word plays won't get you anywhere.

And if it it racist to point out that Putins regime is evil but thankfully dumb then so be it.

Someone would probably tried to arrest me for hate speak against the nazis too.

You didn't say Putin's regime, you said Russians. Look who's leaving shit out now?

And idk how to tell you this but scale matters.

Intent matters more, just because ruzzians[1] are inept doesn't make it less punishable.

[1]:happy now that I have narrowed it down to only those who actively support it instead of the vast majority who just passively support it?

Good to see the mods aren't tolerating your Holocaust denial.

At no point have I denied Holocaust or Holodomor or any of the other ghastly things Russia and Nazi Germany did.
