Dude, tell me about it. I don't doubt there was some exaggeration and inflation to make us the good guys, but I think they really jump the shark sometimes. To say that they got postcards and had a grand old time is silly. There were work camps and people were starved almost to the point of death for sure. The rest? I don't know enough to verify.
Yeah, it’s… Beginning to worry me how extreme some of the “rhetoric” here is becoming…
Perhaps I’m just… Not exposed to that, in my country, so much. Idk. Maybe this level of… Denialism is more “normal”, elsewhere, now…
But it’s… Full on.
Re your comment, yeah, that’s like what the Japs did in their “work” camps (Thai-Burma Railway, Changi, Nanking and Manchuria, etc) - worked and starved people to death… That’s a HUGE thing in Australia, because that’s where many of our soldiers, and a few civilians, died…
Re the Shoa/Holocaust specifically, though. I do believe it. I’ve been to a concentration camp (subcamp of Neungamme), though this was a “work” camp, rather than an “extermination” camp… I’ve met survivors. I’ve also seen some of the… Aftermath of the Armenian genocide in Turkey. And I know a couple of survivors of Rwanda. So… I do believe it. I just also know it wasn’t “unique”, in most ways. The most “unique” aspect was the industrial-scale and “machination” of the killing. And perhaps arguably that Germany is the most “developed” country/empire to have this happen. Other than that, this shit happened like 5 - 10 times in the 20th century ALONE, let alone beyond that… The Jews aren’t “special” in that sense. Nor was it the most “successful” or “complete” genocide, either…
C'mon man, this is a containment board full of anonymous randos. It isn't "normal" denialism/rhetoric rising up. We don't know how many are bots vs. schizos vs. good faith actors, but basically it's people trying to turn this place into 4chan. There are multiple groups behind it using various techniques to direct the discussion in a way that furthers their cause. One way to detect it is to see how polarized the vote counts get on the topics compared to the boring stuff we normally talk about. That's a sign that someone is using voting-alts, or is brigading the post from their board/DM-group with "GET IN HERE BOYS THEY DONT WANT THE GOYIM TO KNOW." Just ignore the votes.
I'm trying to assume rational behavior here. The alternative - that they're all regular people who figured out the grand ZOG conspiracy and are evading JIDF-jannies while subtly dropping hints to wake up the rest of us, and that once enough of us see the light there will be a movement to purge the Jew once and for all - isn't a winning strategy.
And I say this as someone like u/Turtlecommando4 who doesn't believe the whole mainstream narrative either. Bad actors take advantage of that skepticism.
Yeah that's basically it. Jews act like it's the biggest crime against humanity ever to further their cultural victim complex, while anti-Jews are like "No there was no attempted genocide... but let me explain why Germans would have been totally justified in exterminating the Jew..."
The fuck am I getting downvoted for this, for..?
I’m talking lived experiences here, and being downvoted because literal facts don’t suit your pre-existing narrative..?!
Come the fuck on! 🙄
Political minorities almost always have to be more tolerant of other minority/fringe beliefs. When your beliefs are outside the mainstream, you can’t afford to be too exclusive.
For what it’s worth, I agree with you. The holocaust happened. I’ve seen enough of humanity to know people are capable of that kind of blind evil.
