No, primarily because nobody knows their neigbors anymore

I know that reading is hard for communists, but

A few non-French veterans and American merchants, along with some useful professionals such as priests and doctors, were spared. Those who failed the triple test of skin color, citizenship and vocation were simply wiped out

Is pretty straightforward. What do you think Dessalines meant when he pledged “to kill every Frenchman who soils the land of Freedom with his sacrilegious presence?”

I mean if the doctors and teachers are part of a slaver society than I don’t mind the dying.

Fuck you. Quit running apologetics for genocide. Dessalines did not wait to check if the people he was having raped and murdered played any role in the institution of slavery.

I think I have to block you now. I’ve never been filled with this kind of indignant fury before. "I don’t necessarily agree with rape and murder, but…" Kindly rid this platform of your vile presence

And I hope you quit dancing around the fact that they killed far more than just slavers. Like I’ve already said, I support killing slave owners just as much as I support killing monarchs.

The black slaves were literally enslaved by the people they executed.

Not the women and children and poor that they murdered. What part of “indiscriminate slaughter” do you not understand? Race has literally nothing to do with it. Genocide is bad even if a black person does it. Genocide is bad even if the victims share a nationality with slave owners.

Again, I cannot believe that I’m arguing in favor of not murdering innocent people, and I’m the fucking bad guy here

I don’t necessarily support everything that every French revolutionary did, but I do support beheading monarchs. Given my earlier statement that genocide is indeed always bad, can you guess what my stance is regarding any genocides that any French people were engaged in during the revolution?

What you asked was “I take it you condemn the French revolution for abolishing monarchy through guillotines?” The answer is no, I do not condemn the French revolution for that particular thing.

Jesus Christ. I’m talking to someone justifying the slaughter of fucking doctors and teachers and children, and I’m the bad guy in this discussion

It’s not a genocide, it’s just the indiscriminate slaughter of a people based on their nationality

Did the French indiscriminately slaughter people based on their nationality during the revolution?

It is an objectively correct take. Genocide, believe it or not, is always bad

I want to make it unequivocally clear that slave owners deserve to die. If they had only murdered slave owners, I would be a fan

The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, and the admin (and creator of Lemmy) named themself after a genocidal warlord

Edit: only on Lemmy will you find people who read shit like this and say “that’s not a genocide, those women and children deserved to be executed for the crime of being French”
