I get the joke but I still expected some tankies to show up. But then again, OP is on lemmy.world which is defederated with the tankie instances so that’s why
why is it defederated
Because of the tankies.
Trofim Lysenko Estimated body count 70 million
The vast majority of deaths under communism have been because of famine…
…which may well be true for Capitalism as well.
True but i dont know of one guy who did 70 mil worth under capitalism
Pretty sure the answer is “the brits”.
Yep, anyone saying otherwise is doing mental gymnastics.
Is it Mr the brits or Mrs the brits?
Ohhhh, you’re conflating a single leader with an entire country.
You must be a lib, tankies say libs never argue in good faith, and your false equivalence is certainly in bad faith.
Until recently it was Mrs. Now it’s Mr or alternatively his majesty king Charles the 3rd.
Is there enough reliable data to give a kill count for the different monarchs? It would be kind of interesting who scores highest in that regard.
Exactly! Mao was one leader, England killed millions, sure, but that was spread over many many rulers.
Mao stands at the top afaik, I’d love to see some stats though!
Mosquitoes, thanks to Malaria. Estimated kill count (according to a Nature article from 2002) 50-60 Billion people.
More a person responsible kinda thing. I think Mao does top it but due to starvation thanks to his idiot policies that ruined crops
Wow. You’re really gonna just blame a whole race over a few billion deaths?
/s please don’t hang me in these streets
Isn’t it a strange question to ask if you don’t want an offensive answer?
How is that answer offensive??
Idk I thought the lady was angry because she finds it offensive.
She thought the cat just meowed.
She wasn’t offended by the answer. She thought the cat couldn’t talk and was just saying ‘meow’.
This is a good one 😂
I’ve used this joke IRL with our cats. There’s another one for dogs:
A guy and a dog walk into a bar. The bartender says, “hey, you can’t bring a dog in here.”
The guy says, “this is no ordinary dog. He’s a talking dog.”
Bartender says, “yeah? Prove it.” The guy turns to the dog and says, “What’s on top of the building?” And the dog says “Roof! Roof!”
Then the guy says, “How does a brick feel?” The dog says “Rough! Rough!”
The guy then says, “Who was the greatest ballplayer of all time?” The dog says “Ruth! Ruth!”
They are thrown out of the bar.
When they’re out on the street, the dog turns to the man and says, “So, you think I should have said DiMaggio?”
They are thrown out of the bar
I’m surprised you weren’t with that joke. speaking from experience, i love my lame jokes. (and I’m not totally stealing this one…not at all.)
Lame jokes can be presented in a funny way. Delivery is important. My favorite method is “matter of fact” like I am telling a normal story about usual things. Catches the recipient off-guard and the joke lands much more betterer.
I think you over estimate your delivery there
While it has proven difficult to accurately estimate the pre-colonial population and the amount by which it changed under the Congo Free State, estimates for the Congolese population decline during Leopold’s rule range from 1 million to 15 million.
That’s a lot, but not even close to Mao
Noobish kdr. Max 10 millions deaths, somewhere between a French general during WWI (not counting German casualties) and minor paranoid dictators. Too much time larping as a psychopathic torturer, not enough time getting the job done. Mao killed several million people on a good mood, that’s professionalism.
Dictators and the rich
Ive never heard of anyone with that name
To be fair, many of those deaths were landlords, who dont count as humans.
That’s pretty fucked in the head, fam, even if these lists love blaming single communists but it when it comes time to talk about the death tolls of WW1 and 2 it’s always a shared responsibility and contextual.
⬆️ your brain on dialectics
Black book of communism nonsense.
I don’t see why you’re so flustered, it wasn’t real communism…
I don’t really think Mao’s atrocities are disputed tbh.
