"Word-vomiting facts about Unit 731 whenever someone mentions the Holocaust."
"I think of Red Scare mostly as a comedy podcast, but I was disappointed by Anna's contention in the latest episode that the Holocaust gets outsized attention in American society because it plays into a victim narrative. It made me sad that anyone might really believe that."
"My trans friend has been telling me how they are worried about trump being elected and how they probably won't be alive in four years because they'll open concentration camps for them. I need help telling them that this won't happen to them, that they won't be killed."
"11 million people were killed in the holocaust. 6m of them being Jewish. Why are the other 5 million always forgotten about? If you never were to educate yourself deeper than the average American education system or Hollywood movies you would believe that it was solely a pogrom on European Jews."
"shut up. articulate yourself you dumb motherfucker. you cannot describe the Holocaust as 'dystopia vibes.'"
"Also it feels like there's a big gap between how seriously the holocaust are treated (to the point that any whiff of holocaust denial raises alarm bells) vs how slavery is treated (where it's just accepted that a portion of the country will downplay it)."
"People will unironically say "How could the Rwandan Genocide Happen", how could the "Germans support the holocaust" "How dare FDR put Japanese people in internment camps", and then proceed to say things that if said about black people or any other ethnic group would be considered atrocious."
"Is the reasoning like: the Holocaust happened, so Jews are objectively the most oppressed and therefore the only ones allowed to complain about discrimination?"
"I get that what's happening in LA is less than ideal but Latinos are being deported not marched to the gas chambers and murdered. Has the word Holocaust lost all meaning?"
"Obviously the Holocaust was fucked up and had higher numbers, I went to Auschwitz as a kid and it was a humbling experience."
