The Holodomor is actually very similar to the Irish Potato Famine. In both cases, millions starved to death despite producing more than enough food to feed themselves, and in both cases, it was an authoritarian government confiscating food to purposefully starve them out in favor of the colonizing nation. The only real difference is time and scale (the Irish Potato Famine only killed around 1 million people).
I wonder why the Great Famine in Ireland has never been discussed as Genocide? 1 in 4 Irish died or emigrated from Ireland as a result.

And not only that but the Holodomor actually happened.

only 150k people were killed in the Holodomor and most of them died of disease

the holodomor was awful and is deserving of all the criticism and condemnation we could ever give
but i believe the 7 to 10 million death total is on the higher end of the estimates and that most settle around 3 million

The Holocaust gets more attention because it was an industrialized and well-organized genocide, which is something the world had never seen before. Also the Germans losing helped. The Holodomor is less talked about it because it was an old fashioned famine and Stalin just rerouted food to starve people to death, he didn’t round them up and gas them. Also he won WW2 so people kind of turned a blind eye. Both were horrible

Thought this was going to be a Game of Thrones thread.

Aren’t there pictures out there were they have deceased children for sell at a meat cart? Almost like a Shawarma stand in NYC?
Ok I just looked it up and confirmed these pics do exist. They show people selling body parts chopped up, decapitated heads laying on tables for sale, etc. Gruesome stuff

Ethnic Ukrainians are not God’s chosen people so it does not matter. If it did there would be countless documentaries on Ukrainian owned and operated media platforms.
