What’s your source for that?

Look man I hate the US as much as the next guy but this is gigawrong.

You have some serious problems with reading comprehension.

The poster I replied to literally said that Germans during the Holocaust were less morally depraved than today regarding Gaza. Let that sink in. Don’t just read over that phrase, really take a second to appreciate that they typed that out.

You ask what they’re wrong about… well pretty much everything, which he has in common with the hypothetical Dresden skinhead. Germans largely knew about the KZs and they didn’t care (or rather, pretended not to know and didn’t want to). This is actually a lie told all the time by German neonazis, that the Germans didn’t know what the regime they helped put in place was actually doing.

There is a movie that was released about this last year which you should definitely watch, called The Zone of Interest. It might make you feel sympathetic towards Jewish people though, I understand this is sort of a no-go with some people on this platform.

Also the whole construction is wrong (there have not been “many holocausts”) and again, this is something the extreme right will make you want to believe all the time - that it really wasn’t something that stands out in human history. I and many other posters have already pointed out why this is an enormous lie, extremely antisemitic and an extremely dangerous bending of history.

There are a lot of fascists and autocrats in the world though.

It blows my mind man. You are saying things that could come verbatim from a torch-carrying skinhead during a NPD rally in Dresden. Yet you call yourself a leftist according to your profile? How does that even happen?

Holocaust is not just another word for genocide. It describes the systematic, industrialized killing of an entire ethnicity. Like modern industrial-capitalist logistic chains, the nazis optimized the KZs and their Hinterland for the maximum efficiency in killing Jews.

There has not been something like this in the entire history of humanity. Please educate yourself. I say that without judging you. I’m aware that there have been many other genocides, each one more terrible than one could put in words. And yes, Israel is committing on in Gaza right now, but that doesn’t diminish the enormous suffering of the Jewish people in the last century.

If what the Israeli government and army are doing right now makes you go “Well maybe the Holocaust wasn’t sooo bad, all things considered” then you have some real soul searching to do. Stop consuming propaganda.

Nah. I mean I’m German and what you’re saying is literally what we’ve been hearing from Neonazi circles for decades. It’s historically wrong and actually antisemitic.

The holocaust is the name for this specific event and there has not in human history been a larger industrially organized murder of a people.

It’s kind of insane that this neonazi propaganda is now being adopted from what I assume are leftists.

What the fuck dude.

I’m sorry but I really don’t understand what you’re saying.

Doesn’t look like it anymore.

The cruelty is the point.

It’s insane how little reporting there is on this. This is perhaps the biggest story of the week.

Maybe I misunderstand what you’re saying but reporting about peace deals and ceasefires is everywhere here in Germany. On a mainstream news basis there has been little Ukraine-related reporting besides that, in fact. Until the Sumy attack.

I’m honestly kind of shocked about the reporting this gets. Russia has been doing this since the start of the war. Why is there such a wave of reporting about this topic that sounds like this is anything new?

In fact they have been doing these exact things in every war they’ve fought for decades now. This is who these people are. It’s their doctrine. And they won’t change it.

Meanwhile everyone is taking about peace, deals and ceasefires. There can be no such thing as long as the people making these decisions are in power in the Kremlin.

Maybe journalists should write less about Trumps sham peace talks and follow Russia’s actions more closely, maybe then they wouldn’t be so surprised by this attack on civilians that, while gruesome and despicable, has been their modus operandi for a long time.

Germany allows dual citizenship and I’ve read a study a while back stating that a clear and fast way to citizen status is attractive to many “high performers”.

Smart move to do this at the exact time when you potentially can brain drain the US of a lot of talent and knowledge. Thanks a lot CDU, real 4D chess.

Bit early for takes like that, no? Americans still have the whole dictatorship ahead of them, we’re currently seeing it being established.

Yeah but how long will that inventory last? A couple of weeks maybe? Certainly not for any of the new products they have in their schedule for the year, those will have to be a lot more expensive to keep their margins somewhat stable.

The GOP turning into a Nazi party is living proof that even in the American landscape, substantial political shifts are possible. If leftists would organize and tea-party the democrats from the other flank there would be an immediate effect. The problem being, of course, that leftists start arguing over the dumbest shit immediately which hinders any real coordination.
