    By the holocaust Germany lost all their colonies, after WW1, so again, I don’t how this is related here. Jews were living within Germany for centuries. And the point was it doesn’t matter in relation to other attrocities.

    Russia was also a colonial power, and one of the last which is still one, ask a Yakut guy or someone from the northern Caucasus. So it should be also added there?

      You do understand the whole fascism thing relied on getting new colonies, right? They even did the whole manifest destiny thing.

      And the point was it doesn’t matter in relation to other attrocities.

      The point is that they’re in the same bucket as other colonial atrocities

      Weren’t you the one complaining about whataboutism? Also yes, we can view the Russian empire and the Russian federation as imperialist projects.
