How many likes do you think this post has.
Someone commented that "we're shooting past clean wehrmacht, past the recent innovation of clean SS and all the way straight to clean Hitler."
[edit] OK, I'll just say it - over 30k and counting. "You are like Hitler if you don't want to genocide the Palestinians".
The myth of the "secret holocaust" is a pernicious piece of propaganda. The idea that "if only we'd known, we'd have invaded earlier" is a lie(the us refused to accept Jewish refugees) and is used today to justify military intervention in conjunction with atrocity propaganda like the "beheaded babies" lie is being used now.
In 1942-43 Polish officer Jan Karski, send by the AK and Polish goverment in London (so by no means a commie), a witness of the holocaust went to the UK and USA with extensive report and met with hundreds of people - officials, celebrities, industrialists, bankers etc, everyone he could including Roosevelt, Hull, Churchill etc and he shown them the report about holocaust and asked for help.
There was basically zero response, which means UK and US govts shushed the case.
Nah but he " studied it for 30 years " though
Zionists, man. What the fuck
The Holocaust was not remotely a secret to people in Nazi-occupied territory, that's a massive historical revision. There was an attempt to erase evidence as they lost ground to prevent the Allied forces from learning about what they did, or at least the full extent, but any Pole or German with eyes who was able to walk the street during the day could have told you that people were being "done away with" systemically and sometimes just killed in the street.
It's frankly disgusting to pretend that the Holocaust was some kind of secret operation except for being draped in the thinnest forms of euphemism when it was described.
People knew about the gestapo.
Yeah, his post is a piece of holocaust denial. Every accusation from Empire is a confession
Imagine voting for the guy that keeps calling jews vermin and wants them removed from germany and then all jews disappearing, I think most people know. Btw they tried to avoid building camps near the western borders, because of le international community, but the rest of the country was fair game.
Important to note that Hitler did not win that election, the liberal Hindenberg did. Hindenberg then appointed Hitler to the next highest office (in a depraved attempt to appeal to the fascists) and, during his term, died in office, at which point Hitler seized power in what you could call a soft coup.
also it was pretty public knowledge that the nazis were robbing Jews and doing pogroms. Kristallnacht wasn't exactly a secret
The nazis were actually better, for they knew to hide their genocide.
Hamas, which is not committing a genocide, has the gall to not hide their genocide. Truly, unassailable.

No, he is saying that makes you worse than Hitler actually.
I'm declaring "Allahu Akbar" for this thread
Saying "god is great" is fine in English but god forbid someone do it if they're brown and speak a non-approved language
I guess rapists are still allowed to have terrible opinions about Israel?
Idk, maybe instead of studying Holocaust deniers you should have studied the actual Holocaust?
100% chance he doesn't count double-genocide lies as holocaust denial

Who is this nerd?
Mom, the simulation is breaking again I want out
One of the reactionary nerds in the orbit of "new atheists", has a (right) libertarian bent. Edit of Skeptic, itself a magazine that combines those two things.
As you might expect, he has neocon leanings via his islamophobia.
Oh, one of those
Didn't most Holocaust victims die in the ghettos and not the camps? Like I swear I legitimately heard this during Hillel events. It's not really secretive if it's in the middle of the city.
I'm having a whole lot of trouble finding specific numbers on that one. The only thing I know off my head is that Adolf Eichmann (Nazi scum who organized the holocaust) in Hannah Arendt's book gave a number something like 4 million in the camps, 2 million through other murders. That total probably doesn't included executed prisoners of war, who were around 5 million, and probably doesn't include the (i think) 1.3 million Soviet Jews killed through invasion. A little over one million were killed at Auschwitz II–Birkenau alone by most accounts.
You're right that Nazis didn't exactly hide their murders. The only thing you could say is they started doing it faster after around 1942, which is when the war started falling out of Germany's favor. That's when they started doing stuff like burning documents too. If I had to guess the Nazis were probably covering their tracks out of a belief they might get captured by Soviets and hanged
Unless Eichmann's estimate is higher than the modern one, Jews killed in the USSR by the Nazis or their collaborators for being Jewish are counted as part of the Holocaust conventionally, and ~1 million is the common number for that toll.
If I had to guess the Nazis were probably covering their tracks out of a belief they might get captured by Soviets and hanged
thinking they might get in trouble for the mass murder was not an unfounded concern
Most victims of the holocaust weren't even Jewish but God fucking help you if you go around saying that out loud.
TIL 7 year old Abdul who has lived through artillery shelling for his whole life for the crime of being born in the wrong patch of land is literally worse than Mengele

I am pretty sure the nazis were pretty open about wanting to kill Jews. They talked about it a lot
It's amazing how they've taken one of the most depraved, horrible acts of humanity against itself and turned it into a cudgel when you don't support the foreign policy goal of genocide.
Do you ever sit back and really think about how awful these people are?
why do i use this website and see these things what is wrong with me
Shermer is such a weird character. Skeptic magazine has done some genuinely great stuff about cults and vaccines, and Shermer himself very publicly and loudly renounced his climate change denial position after looking through the evidence, which is dizzyingly unusual. On the other hand,

Ah, so something happened that affected him personally. Always the same shit with these clueless rich assholes
Material conditions don't real. The fact that one group was killing a disempowered and persecuted minority while the other group was killing the people who locked them in an open-air prison and bombed and starved them for years on end? Totally irrelevant.
