It's ok to question the validity of the reports of how many died
But when we found the camps, mass graves, the lampshade made of human skin, the containers of gas, actually still alive malnourished prisoners, and the fact that even the Soviets found them and went "this is fucked up", kinda leans on yeah it happened.
It's like the moon landings, yeah they happened because
we placed mirrors on the surface to bounce lasers off to calculate distance
The Americans did Japanese interment and the Japanese did Unit 731 (which the Americans let them walk and paid for all their research) and the allies did Dresden
The Soviet Union had gulags and one of them literally turned into an island of cannibals. This was all known but was willfully ignored or people fained ignorance to avoid being sent to them. After Stalin died and Khrushchev took over, he basically said "here's all the awful shit we did under him that forced the people into a cult under his rule"
The information is freely and easily available (in any country with Internet and no massive firewall) but a lot of people don't care to seek this knowledge until it begins to directly affect them. We can blame the media and national education but it is the task of every person to learn from history or be doomed to repeat it.
Er no, if people say 'The holocaust never happened!' We either think they are an asshole or trying to be edgy.
This is just another wedge to control speech even more from the Ministry of Truth. Man, hard to believe Canada will be airstrip one before the UK!
Everyday the press tells bold-faced lies about events that happened yesterday.
Why should I unquestionably believe reports about what happened 80 years ago?
