Then you are literary handicapped.

Ah, ableism. Incredibly misplaced, to boot.
What you are saying is that you had to separate those points of your original list because of Godric's actions that were contrary to what you originally claimed. How those things are connected, you are yet to explain.

You made me cite a dictionary, since you’re literary handicapped.

More ableism.

"From what source?" also doesn't work as a question in those context. You could have either asked "where/when did I say that?", or made the request "cite me saying/implying that". At best, if we are to keep "whence", it should be "Whence does it follow?"

Also, "literary" and "literally" (and "literarily", for that matter) are not synonyms, and "literary" does not work in this context.

Source your claims

Here's you complaining about being banned for trolling in a memes community by making the aforementioned assertions. The context is provided in the comments, and does include people quoting your "Salvador Allende's genocide" thing.

Anti colonial forcing the Ukrainian genocide

Except there hasn't been a "Ukrainian genocide" apart from the Lebensraum+the Holocaust, carried out by Germany and their allies (including such groups as the OUN).
If you want to claim that the famine of 1932 in the USSR (which, I remind you, affected the entire union, rather than some particular group (unlike, say Churchill's Bangladesh famine, or the Irish potato famine), which is what we would expect from a genocide) was somehow a genocide, then you should present your study to the historians that specialise on that famine, as they have come to a very different conclusion from you.

Filipino larceny

The what?

Japanese island debates

It's silly how you think that the Kuril islands should belong to unrepentant genocidaires that are under control of NATO.
What is your argument here, even?

Indian border bounties

What "bounties"?

do I go for more examples?

You are yet to provide even one example for why we should supposedly consider the USSR and the PRC as bad. At least try to elaborate on what you have already claimed.

For whom are the examples you wanted bring up for

I am speaking with you, am I not?

what purpose does it serve than blatantly sidetracking gish gallop?

A Gish gallop would be if I just kept throwing different examples without elaborating. Kind of like you did in your last comment.
Wait, do you even know what "Gish gallop" is, and why it has "gallop" in the name?
