Oh really? What gigantic global war was Russia fighting in 1932?
> which was engineered by the British.
Nonsense. The Bengal famine was caused by factors beyond British control, including the Japanese invasion of Burma and multiple natural disasters in Bengal which had a devastating effect on rice imports and grain production. The British failed to completely alleviate the famine, yes, but they did alleviate it partially by sending over 100,000 tons of grain to aid the region, and they would have sent more if shipping had been available (there was the small matter of a gigantic global war going on).
And of course if it wasn't for the British then Bengal would have eventually been conquered by the Japanese, who had far worse plans for the area than anything the British managed.
Comparing Britain's failures in Bengal to Stalin's genocide is offensive, revisionist garbage.
Why is it out of the question for you to create a GitHub account?
It's been three years, can we please stop repeating this lie? Trump has disavowed white supremacists clearly and repeatedly, and the claim that he called them "fine people" is not true. Let me say that again: it's
wrong. This is not ambiguous:
it would have taken you a single Google search to find out that when Trump talked about "fine people" at Charlottesville he explicitly said that he wasn't talking about the white supremacists and neo-Nazis and that those people should be "condemned totally." And that's just one of countless times that he's condemned white supremacists and distanced himself from them.
The media repeats this easily-debunkable falsehood again and again and again and again, people like you fall for it, and then they have the nerve to tell us that it's only the Right who engage in "misinformation".

I don't understand. Why would mask advocacy mean the CoC people have a vendetta against him? Is the conference run by Trump acolytes?
An alternative version of this joke: What's the difference between the Soviet Union and the USA?
In both countries you have freedom of speech, but in the USA you can use it more than once.
Can someone give me the tl;dr of what the author's "mask advocacy" was and why it's so controversial? He only alludes to it in passing in the piece.
I think a lot of Europeans don't appreciate just how abysmal the public transport options are in practically every American city.
