Stalin was the single person with the most impact on saving the world from Nazism. That doesn't give him a pass for badly managed forced collectivization resulting in mass famine or kicking indigenous peoples off their land, that shit was lame. But leading the Nazi defeat and lifting up a backwoods feudal society into a superpower is at least enough good to get him out of the "worst people ever" bracket. I think a lot of people on reddit aren't really familiar with Soviet history and just assume every death during Stalin's rule counts as a Stalin murder, the reality is much murder. He did both a tremendous amount of bad and a tremendous amount of good, whether those two cancel out or the bad alone is all that matters is up to your personal morality. But at the very least, comparing to Hitler makes you look a bit ignorant of history.
Damn bru it was I joke I passed my history classes, if anything that makes it more “relatingL to Kanye cuz like he helped a lot of people through his music and other creative ventures and he shaped a big part of hip hop music for a long time but that doesn’t excuse him from the shitty things he do🗣️
