>Irving schizos are so annoying. Ironically nobody behaves more “Jewishly” than Holocaust “revisionists”—a project I frankly don’t even understand the point of. As a rhetorical tactic Holocaust denial is never going to actually rehabilitate National Socialism, and if you take it seriously you’re just making a travesty of Nazism and betraying the very ideals of the regime you supposedly adore by minimising their “achievements”. Holocaust denial consists in ignoring hundreds of thousands of pieces of documentary and witness evidence on the basis that an impossibly high standard of evidence (never applied to any other historical event) has not been met (“a written direct order from the Führer”, etc. even though as has been pointed out many times Irving accuses Churchill of similar things in the absence of said evidence, sometimes even pointing to said absence as evidence of his claims). Things like the Wannsee conference, the Posen speeches, Goebbels’ diaries, the testimony of high ranking officials, camp guards, etc. won’t cut it, apparently. Which is hilarious given how much anti-Semitic worldview relies on insinuation and a “where there’s smoke there’s fire” mentality. It’s apparently licit to infer it from their behaviour (rather than from documentary proof) that the Jews are engaged in pernicious schemes such as genociding the white race. But when roughly six million Jews disappear in Europe in territory occupied by Germany (whose government was openly anti-Semitic and had been repressing Jews from the moment of its inception) and where roughly 2.7 million of them were sent to camps—nothing suspicious!
