"Hey, you know how you personally murdered a thousand people back in the 60's? Wants to act that out on camera?" "Sure, that sounds awesome!"

I don't really care if you buy it. If you want to believe I think it's okie dokie that Indonesia killed a million people, fine, but you should be aware that I don't.

[-Jrabbit]

I think you shoot from the hip and then try to back it up with lame excuses. The implication of your posts is that the massacre of a thousand people by death squads is okie dokie and "totally reasonable" under certain conditions. Like say, if it was an unconsititutional law that was still on the books in Crapistan.

It's not a massacre if the thousand people are armed, it's a battle.

[-Jrabbit]

So, you're now basically claiming you didn't read (or couldn't comprehend) the OP.

[Hauldren Collider]

Yes. I saw the thread title and assumed that was the total size of the massacre.

[loinburger]

It's weird that the only word of the OP that you read was "communists"

[-Jrabbit]

Yes. Interestingly, the word "massacre" does not appear in the title.

[Guynemer]

Communism is an inherently violent ideology, so if they were actually gun totin' Che wannabes I won't criticize an army for massacring them. Otherwise, no it doesn't.

Dude.

Communism is an inherently violent ideology,

So it's like most other ideologies?

HC is basically what Giancarlo was about 10 years ago. My prediction: he also turns out to be gay.

[Imran Siddiqui]

HC: my ideology supports killing people with certain political views.

normal person: why?

HC: because their ideology is violent.

I literally

[-Jrabbit]

That was pretty choice.

Why do you put communist in quote marks? Do you have any reason to believe the victims weren't actually mostly communist?

Better question, why isn't 'right wing' in identical quote marks? Apparently Loin would have you believe that these dudes listen to Rush Limbaugh while getting their quota of dead commies.

[kentonio]

Oh surprise, the first thoughts the 'Christian' has in a thread about genocide is about political allegiance..

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

The Indonesian massacres largely targeted trades union members and anyone considered to be associated with labour organisations. There were certainly communists involved, but it's probably safe to assume the majority simply held a variety of left-wing views.
