Honestly? No.
She's right about the objective/general point;
But there are groups that benefit from both a) the subjective/specifics being maintained and promoted and so they will continue to do so regardless of who stands in the way, even longstanding "allies" if they mistakenly 'step off the plantation' either accidentally or otherwise, and b) a perpetual dynamic of infighting amongst the general population while the ones hiding behind the curtains come up with the next false-flag/psy-op/mostly peaceful SVU-protest to keep the flames fanned.
As per the post I made yesterday other large scale genocides get pushed to the side even when the numbers involved dwarf the "6 million Jews" by and order of magnitude in some cases.
Holodomor: Death toll ranges but roughly around the same 6 mil yet no equal outrage.
Armenian Genocide: 0.5-1.5 mil and you end up with groups literally named "The Young Turks" not only denying it happened but they have an Armenian co-host!
The Great Leap Forward: Here is where we see the magnitude of difference appearing: "estimates range from upwards of 15 million to 55 million people". So the lowest estimate is double the Holocaust, and the upper limit is roughly an entire magnitude of difference.
And yet...
Also keep in mind there are entire "other groups" out there who complain about the Holocaust not because they claim it's fake but because it takes away attention from their own group of perpetually oppressed. Black Supremacists have complained that the Marvel/X-Men character Magneto is "too white" and should be black despite the fact one of the consistent character history points of Magneto is literally being in Auschwitz because his entire family were Jewish!
in fact, it's what feeds Magneto's paranoia that all the normies are out to get mutants. While doing little more himself than proving to normies that, yeah, mutants can be fucking dangerous ...
I've made a post about this before where some mutants simply are dangerous through no action of their own: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/140IwfLKiP/x/c/4JIO6Ort749
Some passive powers in the comics are just flat out Extinction Level Events if scaled up affect a large enough area, and that's before you get onto the mutants who choose to use their abilities in any way.
