    Sorry mate, I’m with @PugJesus@lemmy.world on this. There’s no benefit in platforming misinformation.

      It’s fine!

      I really see where they come from, and why they prefer a strong moderation on this kind of topics. I guess it starts to get blurry once you have to define what is misinformation. Historical accuracy is hard to achieve (this is why I still go to /r/AskHistorians, and I linked a few threads in the other comments).

      I saw some time ago a graph showing how the perception of the USSR changed a lot in Europe during the Cold War compared to just after WW2.

      The following statements might be all true at the same time

      • USSR committed imperialist massacres
      • USA committed imperialist massacres
      • most of the Western European nations committed imperialist massacres

      Sometimes I’m wondering if those three statements can be compiled in a single comment and not instantly start a comment war with everyone trying to push their own agenda, and mods having to interfere following their own views.
