For the first time since Trump has been elected, I feel optimistic about our chances in opposing him and the rest of the GOP. A lie can only get you so far. You can spread as much misinformation as you can about Obamacare (like, convincing people that it’s not the same as the ACA) but none of it will matter when…
I know why #alllivesmatter is offensive, my point is that people here are doing the same thing. I bring it up because the other person, chritter, sees the error in how he was originally thinking. But you are getting defensive about it, it seems. I am not saying you are doing it on purpose, but it is very important to…
What she is saying is, yes the Nazi Regime was awful and terrible and one of the worst totalitarian states in recent memory. Millions of people died under their regime in awful conditions. That is fucking awful.
Oh fuck off with your “it’s a disgrace not to remember them”. No one is saying haha fuck the Polish. Everyone knows the enormous sacrifices that Poland made in order to protect the people living there, and that it cost them dearly. But it’s not the same fucking thing!
I hate saying it, because I never used to believe it, but anti-Semitism really IS making a comeback. Ugh
You are not the one who started #alllivesmatter-ing it, it was originally chritter. But he has since seen how conflating the horrid things done in Nazi Germany that always happen in authoritative regimes, with the literally unprecedented atrocity known as the Holocaust, is no good.
You are absolutely 100% incorrect. DonnaL is absolutely in the right on this one.
Holy shit, I did not see this last night when I went through this thread. Shout out to Annie from the Grog Booth!
“Not that it should matter but I’m a lesbian who would’ve gotten killed by Nazi Germany so knock it off.”
I liked what you said and I think it’s an important message. It was only dismissed bc it probably hit a little to close to the nose.
Wait you had a really good reply to someone here. If they dismissed you, that’s shit bc your response was really well worded and accurate. You can post it to me if you want
Oh God, the horror of hallucinating that you’re back in the camps is completely terrifying. It must have been heartbreaking to watch her suffer like that.
Who took over Trumpster twitter?? It’s way too coherent for him.
It is MLK day here in the States... so there’s probably going to be a lot of that today. :-/
My grandmother was survivor. When she was in her 60s and 70s, she would go around schools in PA and NJ and talk about her experiences. On more than one occasion a student would raise his or her hand and tell her that their mom/dad said the Holocaust never happened. That part of her story always hurt me more than the…
Yes. There’s a memorial in Budapest on the banks of the Danube. Jewish people were basically lined up along the riverbank and shot, but they were made to leave behind personal possessions just beforehand. An artist has cast all these pairs of shoes in metal, and they’re lined up along the edge of the promenade. It’s…
When I visited Auschwitz I the thing that sent me over the edge wasn’t the hair, or the glasses, or the false legs - because though these were signs of people, they were things you kept with you always. What really got me were the pots and pans, and the suitcases - the sheer level of deception and cruelty and all…
Why should he have disavowed it specifically? It didn’t come from him, it came from Wiesenthal. And contrary to those who call him a liar about everything, Weisel never denied the murder of the Roma, and although there are claims that he opposed their inclusion originally in the Holocaust Museum, he was fine with it…
My god, I can’t stand chritter. A smarmier, greasier asshole was there never.
The comment was specifically about deaths in camps. That’s what I was talking about. There, it was mostly Jews, and most of the rest were Roma. The T1 euthanasia program was carried out in hospitals. See here for the most reliable totals:
