   Cannot overstate how much of a syphilitic bastard Leopold II was; may he rest in piss

     And being syphilitic was probably his best quality tbh

     Seriously, though, it really says something about how racist our understanding of history is that we don’t put Leopold II in the same breath as Hitler and Stalin

     I don’t see how one can look at what he did versus how he’s been regarded and reach any other conclusion than exactly what you said

     @inthehands You know what it says as well as I do; White lives matter more than Black lives, to the historians of a certain era.

     @inthehands @Adam_Cadmon1 I'm not a tankie but I still think comparing Leopold II to Stalin is really really unfair to Stalin

     Stalin was truly, truly vile, the perpetrator of multiple genocides just for starters, but Leopold II really does give him a run for his money

     Sorry, but “Stalin wasn’t so bad actually” is an instant block
