You don’t understand why I’m skeptical of a ridiculously large number of “victims” attributed to the biggest force for international socialism on the planet at the time, substantiated exclusively by a nested series of “trust me bro” documents provided by the single largest political and economic rival of the country in question, a country which just happens to have a long and extremely well documented history of making shit up to justify our foreign policy? Tbh I don’t believe you, even a complete fucking moron would have no trouble wrapping their head around that.
I never said anything about “victims”. If that was your assumption, that’s on you. I said there were hundreds of thousands of people who participated in the uprising. Whatever assumptions you’re making are based on a conversation you are having with yourself
It’s not an assumption, you used words and phrases synonymous with the word victim and now you’re backpedalling and resorting to dishonest semantic fuckery because you know goddamn well that I’m right and that’s the best you’ve got.
I did not. If that is what you took out of it, then that’s one you. I was specifically referring to the number of people who participated, and you challenged the “hundreds of thousands” part ( I suspect because you couldn’t t challenge anything else of a actual substance?)
I literally said
you don’t seriously believe that the CIA was able to convince hundreds of thousands of Hungarian citizens as well as virtually every socialist party in Hungary to fight against their own better interests, do you?
Which is apparently the part that you’re hung up on
That is separate from when I said
And even if true, how does that in any way take away from the thousands of Hungarian civilians killed or maimed?
Which, I suppose could imply some victimhood if you literally didn’t know what an uprising was, but that wasn’t the part about “hundreds of thousands”, so I’m assuming you were talking about the first part, which again, doesn’t contain any “words or phrases synonymous with the word victim” so I’m just confused, I guess, as to exactly where you got that from if it wasn’t from the conversation you’re having with yourself.
At least 200,000 people were exiled as a direct result, so yes, hundreds of thousands participated
Okay…

Edit: And honestly, I don’t understand why that seems like the hang up to you
