Typical Kerryposter.
- The kerry pfp is ironic but also fairly typical post for that guy.
  
  Yeah, exactly. A Kerryposter.

This thing's going off-scale!
- Tbf he IS Jewish iirc
  
  Also, SouljaGoy is a really funny name compared to the usual dredge we get from X

i don't get it.. how is Parenti a "genocide denier"?
- Well you see...
- I'm going to be real, I don't really understand what happened after Tito died other than it was a very violent race war and then the US started bombing cities and blew up a Chinese embassy on purpose.
  But I understand that Parenti supported the Serbians pretty heavily and most liberals at least say that they're the ones who were doing a genocide.

  Wrong. Maybe do read his book. He didn't took the side of Serbs any more than proving that the western propaganda blaming Serbs for everything was false.
- I think he defended Milosevic. But from what I remember reading, he rejected the comparison between Hitler and cited western media/western organizations saying the same thing. He might’ve gone a step further and said something like Milosevic was serving the people. But it’s odd even if you believe Parenti is evil because how is denying a genocide worse than not only denying an ongoing one, but actively funding it and supporting it materially
  
  No, this is literally all about Parenti's "To Kill a Nation."
  Me and a friend did a deep dive on those claims last night after seeing this post and they all circle around a
  style natoid referencing his own articles lumping parenti in with a couple guys with "Among other genocide deniers such as:" (uncited)
  Using the fact Milosevic wrote a forward for To Kill a Nation published by verso as evidence. You can see that genocide denier claim made (uncited) in many published materials about Bosnian Genocide Denial.
  You can watch the associated lecture and see what's up here (01:17:15)

Is that supposed to be a reference to holo dork more?
Zionists regurgitating nazi propaganda
- I think it's supposed to be about Yugoslavia during the referenced NATO bombing.
  
  Oh ya, that makes more sense. I forgot that the bombing campaign was based on a 'we have to bomb them to stop the genocide' narrative. From my vague memories of hearing news stories about it, 'ethnic cleansing' was the term used most often around that time. Quite a reach to label someone opposed to a mass bombing campaign as a 'genocide denier'.
  e: NATOpedia even acknowledges that the 'humanitarian crisis' was mostly precipitated by the bombing campaign itself.
  
  On the 10th anniversary of the bombing campaign, Ian Bancroft wrote in The Guardian: "Though justified by apparently humanitarian considerations, NATO's bombing of Serbia succeeded only in escalating the Kosovo crisis into a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe"; citing a post-war report released by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe he concluded that it is "widely acknowledged that the bulk of the ethnic cleansing and war crimes occurred after the start of [NATO]'s campaign".

So sad we lost Bernie at such a young age, who knows how great he could have been
- I was re-reading People's History of the United States the other day and it bent me out of shape that Howard Zinn called Bernie Sanders a socialist.
  
  Well Zinn was a succdem, he omitted bascially entire communist movment in US and barely even mentioned communism at all.
