The Circassian Genocide
The Dzungars by the Qing Dynasty
Ottoman Empire:
Armenian Genocide,

The Greek Genocide,
The Turkish Denial
The Soviet famine of 1932-1933
Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50)
Kim Il Sung (North Korea, 1948-94)

By the way, Joseph Stalin triples the number of people murdered by Hitler, and Mao Ze Dong killed nearly 7times as many people as Hitler did....

"Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50) 49-78,000,000


Jozef Stalin (USSR, 1932-39) 23,000,000 (the purges plus Ukraine’s famine)


Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1939-1945) 12,000,000 (concentration camps and civilians WWII)"

Stalin died in 1953...
But in my opinion the picture of Hitler when he sad Heil, it is a problem...And in my country, Hungary, it is a bigger problem, because we live in middle Europe, after the nazis and after the communists, and the radical side of the politics rise and rise and rise. Because of hate of communism and some people like gypsies. And some f..cker crazy people get this beer and said: Ye mean, Hitler on a beer! I simpatyze whit this asshole! I believe in Mein kampf, this is the true! But i do not believe in Holocaust....
It is a bigger problem in Europe than in the U.S. i think.

Cartoon, joke or what ever it is, I do not get why Christian wants "Hitler" on his beers label.

No its not. One of them is a depiction of your god that your religion says shouldn’t be depicted, the other is a depiction of someone who killed 6 million innocent people.

...and which a lot of guys now say shouldn’t be depicted...? Much the same IMO.

First of all, does it really look that much like Adolf? Damn, it’s just the moustache, isn’t it?

Second, there seems to be an Atlantic ocean of cultural differences between Scandinavians and USAians on such topics. I really don’t get the prudishness from the other side. Like your governments isn’t responsible for the killing of thousands of souls in Latin-America, Asia and Africa by supporting what rebels they thought might suit USA best. More years and less people, but I really don’t get you guys.

Third, I miss the cartoon afficionadas that protest on the "use" of Tintin. I guess the label is also a pun on how Belgium treated it’s African posessions for many, many years.

The stupid Austrian invaded my country too, with thousands of Norwegians being killed during the WWII (which btw didn’t last from 41-45), but that don’t mean we can’t joke with him. I also can’t see anything refraining us from making fun of Tintin.

BTW, what do you guys think of the Jesus/Easter label from the same brewery?

Correct!

And Stalin and his guys killed a lot of people in the subregion of Eastern Europe, like in Hungary... Our country had some hutments, compounds and extermination camps too in the 50’s...We had a f...er tyrant too, in the 50’s, called Rákosi Mátyás. He was crazy and savage...And he killed a lot of hungarians too...

Well if you look at movies, there are idiots who honestly believe that TEAM AMERICA was pro-military, and others who took BORAT’s obvious satire as genuine hateful discrimination (not least of all some unwitting participants.)

So I just wonder if can we really restrict & dumb down everything people put out there to avoid encouraging the scum of the gene pool.
But as you say there are some really xenophobic, backwards attitudes in Eastern Europe that seem as if WW-II Germany and American black slavery never took place. Some attitudes come from well-dressed people with good educations who own a business. It’s very prevalent.
