I did not. If that is what you took out of it, then that’s one you. I was specifically referring to the number of people who participated, and you challenged the “hundreds of thousands” part ( I suspect because you couldn’t t challenge anything else of a actual substance?)

I literally said > you don’t seriously believe that the CIA was able to convince hundreds of thousands of Hungarian citizens as well as virtually every socialist party in Hungary to fight against their own better interests, do you?

Which is apparently the part that you’re hung up on

That is separate from when I said > And even if true, how does that in any way take away from the thousands of Hungarian civilians killed or maimed?

Which, I suppose could imply some victimhood if you literally didn’t know what an uprising was, but that wasn’t the part about “hundreds of thousands”, so I’m assuming you were talking about the first part, which again, doesn’t contain any “words or phrases synonymous with the word victim” so I’m just confused, I guess, as to exactly where you got that from if it wasn’t from the conversation you’re having with yourself.
