New entry on the list of genocide apologists: @PeterCorless

• Randomly had a go at me on Twitter defending @ICRC
• Strange personal insults followed

I was wondering what his views were. twitter.com: @cryptodrftng/Kremlin parrots / Twitter

Turns out he finds the comparison of Hitler's and Stalin's regimes "idiotic", praising "workers collective farms".

It is estimated that the Holocaust took lives of about 6 million Jewish people.

The Holodomor carried out by Soviets killed up to 5 million Ukrainians.

Thank you, @Ry5i0 for saying something that should be obvious to anyone.

I never paid attention before to what @PeterCorless was saying on Twitter but today I came across this, and that tells me everything I needed to know. https://t.co/TnyPFxsr0q https://t.co/PgrPCak35N

And the moment I pointed this out, I got blocked.

@PeterCorless is literally a genocide apologist. If you follow him, please keep that in mind.

"I am no apologist to Stalin, BUT..." <--- awful take. It is very discouraging to see statements like this. But on the other hand, it gives perspective to other comments he has said. https://t.co/wV8tyDzTGH
