My position is that it is unique in being the only fake genocide whose cultural status has been so elevated you cannot even touch it. It's a sacred cow.
Feel free to question the minutiae of Native American genocide, Holodomor, etc, but the Shoah? No-ah way, dude!

Faggot. I don't like anti-Holocaust denial laws any more than you do, and I hate the moralising liberal taboos surrounding it.

It didn't happen insofar as it was an intentional plan to eradicate the Jews. What DID happen was that a handful of Jews died in internment camps from disease or starvation (in the latter half of the war due to supply disruption).

Hey, I didn't write it. But colonialism as it is understood, was never practiced in Europe as it had been in the Third World, except for Nazism. I don't think the European empires came even close to approximating colonial practices in North America, Africa, and Asia, with the exception of Nazism.

Personally I agree in a Norman Finkelstein, non-conspiratorial sense that a "Holocaust industry" exists which benefits mainly Jewish interests, but I find it odd in this preface that, despite trying to portray himself as objective and impartial academic who is looking at a historical debate, he can't help but talk about Holocaust education in this way:
>'This is not by accident. It is a deliberate plan, to make sure we "never forget."
Isn't this just bad optics? It makes every normie and establishment reader switch off immediately. Even as someone who isn't superstitious about far-right or anti-Semitic rhetoric, it makes me roll my eyes. There is of course a bit of a double standard in that people writing within the traditions of acceptable belief systems are permitted to indulge in insinuation like this. But when you're presenting something extremely taboo and heterodox, it seems like the mark of an undisciplined mind to not be able to restrain yourself even for a second from sounding like you're on Stormfront.
>But as the masked man once said, ideas are bulletproof
Fucking hell lol. I just want one Holocaust denial book that seems like it was written by a serious scholar. Why are they all fucking weird and amateur. Anyway, I know I'm indulging in a fallacy (I'm not looking at the arguments of the book -- too big of a task right now but something I might do later -- but making bigoted judgements based on the tone of its preface). But I do feel second hand embarrassment. I would hate to be using this text to defend my worldview. Isn't there something less shitty? Perhaps the French revisionist writers are better. At least their credentials are more impressive: like one of them being an actual Holocaust survivor himself.
>>18159318
>To this day, nobody has produced a Fuhrer letter indicating anything close to what we know as the 'Holocaust'.
What does this prove? That Hitler perhaps wasn't aware of what the rest of his state apparatus was doing, or that he didn't approve of it? This is perhaps possible, but it is a hard argument to make, and it doesn't disprove the Holocaust. Doesn't Goebbels make reference to Hitler's intentions in his diaries? These are the sort of extreme and specific standards of evidence that are not applied to most historical events but which Holocaust deniers insist MUST apply to the Holocaust or else it is 100% a fabrication.

>That depends where you draw the line which seems to be arbitrary.
Let me be more clear. Nazism was the first instance of settler colonialism and genocide in modern Europe. Thus it was seen as particularly revolting. However, the same practices, if not worse practices, were done all over the Third World. I'm not an expert on Napoleon, but are you saying he practiced settler colonialism?

That would require me to read an entire book. This is like me posting an archive.org link to some Holocaust history book and asking someone on an anonymous image board to debunk it. I'm more despairing about the quality of the publication. It doesn't bode well for the content of the book. It reminds me of shitty apologetics that seem almost designed to PUT PEOPLE OFF Christianity. But then of course there are thoughtful, disciplined, intelligent writers in that tradition too. I am wondering if that is the case for Holocaust revisionism. There's some faggy anon who keeps posting an archive.org link to a book by some far-right Greek politician denying the existence of homosexuality in Greece, which might seem compelling if you had never read or studied the era at all. It just seems like the same type of thing. This is the kind of snap judgement people will make in this imageboard setting. Think of it as more of a PR criticism than anything else. Holocaust revisionists need better optics...

We have period German documents about things as meaningless as the Tiger I's seat color.

Sure, that's western bias. But I'm fairly certain a similar line of thought goes the other way round. That proves nothing.

Fair enough, although given the subject I don't think good optics can ever be achieved. From what I've read the authors don't seem to be nefarious, just convinced of their own side like anyone. I imagine they'd be quite bitter for being repeatedly locked up and losing their livelyhoods for simply expressing an opinion. I don't blame them.

We're talking about white on white colonialism, so it makes some sense to talk about modern Europe. If you go too far back, you see that the "white" identity hasn't been constructed yet. People didn't even have a sense of nationality until well into the early modern period.

>Like I said, where you draw the line is very arbitrary and you just want to justify your particular frame.

I hate this disingenuous argument. The people had white skins, therefore they were white, and they enslaved eachother.
In that case your argument collapses entirely since nazi Germans saw themselves as Germans/Aryans, not whites.

Eh, not a /pol/ack (I'm a Soc Dem), but I personally think is a species of "Pilar of Modern Western Liberalism", where the Holocaust serves the Ultimate Cautionary Tale about the Ultimate Evil.
I'm torn about that because in one side, we need a Unifying Narrative, but in the other, this come off as insulting to the peoples whose opression was not related to WW2 Affairs (ie. Native Americans outside USA and Canada, Africans, victims of Communism, victims of British Imperialism, etc).
Like, a lot of those "Holocaust was Unique" takes tend to be very dismissive about Soviet Racism, treating stuff as the soviets killing 1/3 of entire ethnic groups and putting the rest on jail for two decades as "Look, they were racist, but they did not say they were racist, so its very different":

Look even if Poland started the war what Germany did to Poland afterwards was genocidal war crimes. That the expulsion of the germans from eastern european was because of a "war that the Germans foist upon the Soviets" does not change that the Soviets commited the largest campaign of ethnic cleansing in history against them, and the fact that the Soviet Union was already ethnically cleansing Germans BEFORE the invasion of even Poland also does not discount the fact that Germany objectively started the war with the Soviets. The reality is a lot more complicated but it really isn't possible to claim that Germany did not attempt a genocide that qualifies as war crimes against Poland during WW2, and in fact unlike with the Soviet Union which was not a signatory of the First Geneva Convention, and thus Germany had no reason to expect any amount of leniency from the Soviets explaining the discrenpancy between treatments of prisoners of war on the western and eastern fronts, both Poland and Germany were signatories of the 1929 Geneva convention, and the ratification occurred in 1934 so this even happened under NSDAP authority.

Okay so like my point is that the functionalism vs intentionalism debate is only really raging for the genocide of european jews. Nobody has disputed the transcript where the fuhrer's olzberg speech where he openly says that their war goals against poland are not reaching certain lines but rather like that of Genghis Khan where it is the complete destruction of people of polish derivation and language. Since intent is the key factor behind whether something can be classes as genocide, this transcript, which as I have stated nobody except turkey has even partially denied, proves intent. This intent contextualizes the specific events which nobody denies occurs. The functionalism vs intentionalism debate for the jews which relies on the absence of a proof of intent on the fuhrer's part DOES NOT deny any of the events of what is called the holocaust, nor does it deny that the people carrying out those events intended to destroy jews as a group, it merely disputes if those events against jews were "top down" from the fuhrer, or "bottom up" where the lower ranks organized it spontaneously (ie a functional genocide rather than an intentional genocide that was policy). The acts against the poles were an official policy of genocide that noboby denies, while it is still possible to deny academically that what is called the holocaust was official policy from the top due to this absence. The same CANNOT be said for the poles. This might simply be the fact that the genocide of the poles is so ignored that people don't even bother denying it though.

And it should go without saying that public opinion on the subject is overwhelmingly against you, the second you start disputing the Holocaust narrative people will kneejerk view you as a crank so you're not going to win pathos either. You can make the most logical argument you want and you're not going to persuade anyone. I guess you can have your own the libtard moment but at that point why even go through the trouble of arguing, just call them a retarded kike and move on with your day. Broaching the Holocaust with someone you've been talking to for awhile is definitely worthwhile but if you're just in a one-off conversation the second you start trying to tangle with the Holocaust narrative you're going to destroy the credibility of absolutely anything and everything else you've said. And eventually you're going to run into one of the numerous kikes who's spent his life earning his livelihood in the Holocaust apologetics grift machine and he's going to trip you up just by the sheer quantity of shit there is to throw at you.

Focusing on the unearned significance it gets maneuvers around emotional trigger that comes with trying to dispute the event while still attacking the power that they get from it. Professional Holocaust grifters will still try to claim you're practicing "Holocaust Denial" but this sounds much more ridiculous to people because you've never actually denied the Holocaust. Like yeah, if someone starts talking about Holocosters with loop-d-loops that threw people into lampshade factories maybe you've got some room to work with but if you start trying to get into the minutiae of the nature of camps and how many people were killed you're just going to get written off as a cartoon character.

Uniquely undocumented by notoriously autistic Teutons, ‘memoirs’ of Auschwitz extracted under ball busting torture to obfuscate Holodomor, Katyn, et. al. notwithstanding, to say nothing of the ‘occulted’ meme of six-gorillion appearing innumerable in publications pre-1939 world wide

Absolute denial is stupid but there's something so putrid that can't be tell and that's why can't be touched
Not going full /pol/ but the numbers sound ridiculous also the methods (as put people inside freezers)but probably the more you cry the big the reparations.
But
Personally I suspect that places like Auschwitz were a scam running by jewish and corrupt officers,because is funny the big number of people who escaped from it to the actual Israel, probably were people with rich guilty parents/relatives

The reasons why height hundred millions were lost are interesting - communists doubling the number in the camps freed by them, in order to look more heroic for winning the 41-45 War, communists hiding the fact that many were survivors who were deported and died in Russia, the press lumping every gay and gypsy dead as a jew for shock value, etc.
Deniers however are making this worse, by denying it even happened they make people think that my willingness to discuss the exact numbers make me a disguised nazi or something.
