Honest question: why did we accept the nickname Holodomor? Why don’t we have catchy nicknames for the actually genocidal famines that the British did in their colonies? Why is it the “Belgian Congo atrocities” and not, idk, the “belgienocide” or the “capitalist turbo hand-cutter 3000”?
We don’t and shouldn’t. Accepting that name is literally Holocaust denial because that was its purpose — to minimize genocide by making a fictional one so that they can call us genocide deniers instead of them.
I’m surprised they didn’t have Yeonmi Park make up some catchier name for the Arduous March to be honest…
if the game had it, it’ll also have the holodomore or someshit
Most likely only reason it doesn’t have the Holodomor is because it didn’t take place during ww2
