Why so much hate?

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to wipe out the comments about Holodomor on the Holodomor rememberence day.




Not sure why noting the hypocrisy of HN moderation counts as hate.

When I've (accurately and politely) pushed back on ahistorical anticommunist narratives in the past, I've been rate-limited and warned by HN mods. While commenting on the economics of the USSR in a post about... the economics of the USSR versus other countries, for example. And this is as someone highly critical of the USSR.

Note that there are already various ahistorical anticommunist comments above. Unfortunately, due to the way in which this tragedy entered the public consciousness in different countries, it is a very political topic.
