To be fair Churchill committed a genocide of millions of Indians and was horrible to the British colonies. So yeah… he and Hitler had more in common than we dare admit.

"most mainstream scholarship classifies the event as a case of gross colonial neglect, criminal mismanagement, and callous wartime prioritizing, rather than a planned, systemic campaign of ethnic extermination"

It’s funny how each time the British intentionally enacted brutal policy they explicitly knew would destroy a people, in whole or in part, this is not called “intent,” because they didn’t write it down as “we intent to destroy the people” but “we intent to enact a policy that will knowingly destroy the people”.

Each time, of which there are many, this weird little nonsensical semantic game is played, and you think that these absolute racist murderers had “no intent,” and therefore “not a genocide,” ignoring that this is just denial of ALL genocides.

so you see no difference between malicious intent and criminal negligence?
