Why Deny the Holocaust

[Chaos]

I think part of holocaust denial is to simply take something away from Jews. As horrible as that legacy is, it is part of their history. Deniers will diminish Jews however they can, especially if they can erase the sympathy that any decent person would feel toward those who have suffered so much.

Since holocaust denial is based on blind bigotry and ignorance, I wouldn't think that they're motivated by anything at all sophisticated. They just lash out and seek to diminish the Jews while trying to remove the accountability of the Nazis for the crimes against humanity that they perpetrated.

For the foot soldiers, like the ones we get in this forum, you might be right. The "scholars", like Irving or Faurisson or Zündel, are probably a little more sophisticated.

LOL - dont believe everything you see. Skinheads are pretty much extinct in Australia these day. Now it is easier and safer to hide behind a computer screen

Yeah, that's an old Crowe movie anyway. But I was suggesting that Merkin skinnedheads aren't much different.

They're no doubt more sophisticated with respect to their style of argument, but I'd think the base motivation is still ... base. Intellectualism here is still just lipstick on the pig, I think. They are all first and finally irrational haters.

So, you don't think it has anything to do with the fancy Hugo Bosh uniforms?

Holocaust denial in a nutshell: "It didn't happen, but they deserved it".

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Nor do they.

Why do you hate Jews?

Why do you feed trolls?

Not trying to be overtly disrespectful or snarky here, but ...that's what just jumps out to me.

The well read/educated neo nazi type (a rare breed indeed) usually posts a longer argument than this--I frequent the Stormfront forums often enough to know the type---just seems too short winded to be serious. I could be wrong, of course.

I think that a lot of them damn well know it happened. Their efforts to change history are simply an effort to whitewash their heroes the Nazis in order to make the ideology more acceptable to normal people. That way, they hope, they can have another Holocaust, except this time kill ALL the Jews.

Ahhhh, yes. Holocaust revisionism is really a vast neo-Nazi conspiracy to make National Socialism an acceptable political alternative again. CT at it's finest.

Yeah, here's a good idea: we'll get everybody to think we didn't kill the Jews because as long as the Nazi Party didn't kill the Jews, they'll vote for us. Then, we can take over and when nobody is looking, we can kill all the Jews for real!!

Did God make you guys so twoofers can look smart?
