Clarifying the actual number of victims is perfectly acceptable.


In theory? Yes.

In practice? No. The first couple pages of the thread will be casual discussion about cremations and logistics, but by page 10, it’ll be sounding straight out of Hamas or Mein Kampf. I have lived on the internet long enough to see where this discussion ALWAYS goes WITHOUT fail 100% of the time.

Step 1: the numbers were exaggerated

Step 2: the numbers were impossible

Step 3: there were actually more jews after

Step 4: those were just work camps for POW’s

Step 5: there really wasn’t any genocide at all

Step 6: it was all a lie to create Israel

Step 7: there’s really no justification for the creation of Israel

Step 8: Isreal is committing a genocide worse than the holocaust based on MY numbers

Step 9: Israel should be destroyed

Step 10: anyone complicit with “lying” about the holocaust should be rounded up into camps along with all those evil bankers and entertainers in hollywood.

This isn’t even a mild exaggeration. I’ve watched it over and over and over and over again.

Questioning the facts surrounding a horrific genocide should in no intellectual honest way justify committing another genocide, yet I see that insane logic leap happen constantly on the internet. It sickens me.

You’re right about all of this. Neo Nazis use these arguments to accomplish various goals. However I think it’s dishonest to point to this but fail to acknowledge Israel and Jewish groups like the ADL and AIPAC use the inverse of this to further their agenda and make them immune to criticism.

So some kind of middle ground has to be reached, and when discussion is shut down over any nuance it increases public distrust, just look at the current public perception of the medical industry.

The truth is, the winners write the history. Had Germany won, I'm sure the number would be smaller.

My hard-fought-for wisdom suggests the truth is somewhere south of 4 million.
