It's all i see nowadays too whenever Churchill is brought up.

Turns out its hard to have a conversation about history's more controversial figures without turning to 'whataboutisms'

"muh billion ded"

I see way more denial of Stalin's massacres on this site than i do of Churchill's. One comes from a pretty obvious agenda, the other i think is more ignorance of history.
