I think that the Armenien genocide was'nt religious, it was nationalist, like the nazis.

The next great human revolution will involve populism. Borders may change, but we should never allow such disrespect to humanity.

"what genocide" --youtubes the young Turks news channel.
fartinatornado
Yeah, the best part is Ana Kasparian is an Armenian. That is like a jew working for a channel called Hitler Youth.
FragileReality
Ana K and Gigi of TYT helped give personal insight to the Armenian Genocide and help change his stance on what happened.

Because THAT needed to be done. What the fuck is wrong with people.

I didn't even know about this until reading this post. We didn't learn about it in school in the US and I'm 29.
90sWereGold
Well the United States government still doesn't recognize this as a genocide
Kitastrophe
Blame your state/district, not the US. We heard about it in school. Had assemblies, kids did presentations about it. Def. General knowledge
kissmyash
Not in Colorado
Kitastrophe
If no district in the state of Colorado teaches this, you should really write a letter to whomever is in charge of that sort of thing
KittenVonCatsworth
This image is a promotional still from a 1919 film about the event called "Ravished Armenia." It's on YouTube if anyone's interested.

But why would muslims crucify them ? Wouldn't they do it in another way ?
IndianJoe
Because it's a long and painful agony, and/or because of their religion : they believe in Christ, so let them die like him.
SomewhatOxygenated
The Armenian genocide was not a religious genocide. It was because the Armenians rebeled against the Ottomans and supported the russians
ialwaysupvotekellykapowski
Never forget. Never forgive.
iou1monkey
While i understand why it may be hard to do forgiveness is the only way
Nilhlis
No it really isn't mate, only the Armenians have the right to forgive them and I doubt that they will considering a lot of Turks deny it
Nilhlis
And we can't forget that they (Turks) commmited the Greek genocide and the Assyrian genocide at the same time

What's disturbing is that this image captures the end of the torture they experienced. Imagine the things they had to live through. Sad.

"What genocide?" ~ USA government.
HillaryClintonsEyes
Not entirely fair. 46 states have officially recognized the Armenian genocide.
piraterobotninjacowboy
If Romans had cameras... would you rise in an uproar ?
NeatTricks
Also the beliefs of The Young Turks.
FragileReality
When the founder was a conservative and from an indoctrinated Turkish family. He's changed his stance on the Armenian genocide, years ago.
Ruhig
TMYK, though apparently not 100% accurate. Still seems like a problematic situation for a left-wing news organization to be in though...
NeatTricks
Well stated.
The2020ElectionWasStolen
Ana Kasparian is a wretched sellout
FragileReality
What the what? Her and one of his Armenian producers helped lend personal stories of the event that, couple with other resources & research-
FragileReality
-helped change his stance on what happened.
The2020ElectionWasStolen
still a sellout
Litten
I think the official stance is that the current republic shouldn't answer for the crimes of the Ottoman Empire. 1/?
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
No one alive is responsible for what happened.But there was a genocide.This is a fact.Denying the atrocities of the past is how they reoccur
Litten
You're preaching to the choir here. :P I wholeheartedly agree. People don't seem to learn from the past however. Rwanda, Serbia r examples
Litten
Mostly because Ataturk and the gang revolted against the Empire after the battle of Gallapoli and reformed Turkey. 2/?
Litten
I'm not agreeing with this sentiment, I'm merely putting this out there.
DannyDLC
Yeah it never happened- tyt
FragileReality
That was yeeears ago. Like when the dude was a Republican and thought other dumb shit. But lo and behold, info was provided and it changed.
kyrtian
Then why are they still named after the officers that carried the genocide out? That's like if a right wing channel was named "Wafffen-SS"
FragileReality
Bc the name TYT was a good connotation before the AG and he's 'taking it back' in a sense. he talks about it a couple of times on his show.
pangyre
"What genocide?" ~Israel… the saddest fact of the 20th century.
HillaryClintonsEyes
Idk why you're getting downvoted Israel refuses to acknowledge it as a genocide.

I’m getting downvoted because Imgurians are largely ignorant, Generation Victim fuckwads. You, on the other hand, are well-informed. ++

No no no, it's WHITE genocide!

Only on imgur can I go from "Alan Rickman" gifs to "Images of Puppies" to "FUCKING ACTUAL PHOTOS OF CRUCIFIXION." What the fuck.

True...
KittenVonCatsworth
If it's any consolation, this is from a 1919 movie about the event called "Ravished Armenia," not literal photos of crucifixions.
DeadOnionSaysWhat
Yes it's a consolation, I can effing exhale! Oh-about a real event. G0ddamnit.

In school, I learned way too much about kings and lords and cavemen and sailors. Then we basically talked about WW1 for like a couple 1/2

And yet more genocides have happened many years after that... we have the potential to be civilized. We just aren't a lot of the time

There was a world war going on at that time, hardly civilized I would say.

There are far worse ways to die, people are getting tortured to this day, the US even admits they torture people.
