34 countries and the EU consider the Holodomor (check your spelling btw) a genocide.

Interesting; and when did they make this entirely non-political determination?

Also, that leaves 161 countries that don't consider it a genocide. Oh, but let me guess: us-foreign-policy

I can find... well, you, and nothing else claiming the dust bowl is a genocide.

I didn't realize that whether something was a genocide or not was decided by vote.

It's not not a vote. It's a classification; they tend to not have perfect clear boundaries, and so one goes with the prevailing opinion of experts.

But let's forget the term "genocide". In the USSR, millions of people were intentionally killed for no good reason. That's fucked.

Which you didn't do, you instead tried to act like the votes of white European countries were the determinants.

No, you used it, stand by it.

I do stand by it. But it's not an interesting discussion for me to just go back and forth on a definition.

I'm trying to understand if we can agree on basic facts. I suspect that we cannot, which means there's not much point in having any discussion. But I'm open to the chance that we can.

Then do so, don't try and equivocate.

We were not arguing about definitions.

Sure, but don't expect me to honor a double standard.

I have no idea what you're on about or why I've humored you for so long. Have a good life.

you lost the debate, get over it. BTW the loser gets banned.

For transparency of the record, the Lemmygrad mod log states “troll” as the official reason for the ban.

Petition to change it to debate pervert
