Hurry up and respond in the debate.
The description says no time wasters.
Yet you’re here in the forums.
If Holocaust-denial legislation is made to criminalise thus stigmatise dissent, do you think that would be a stated intent by any party making it so?
I am forced to focus on the desire, not any stated intent or extant proof, in this regard, becase it is simply not a rationale one would admit to. They would, however, state the intent as being to protect individual Jews.
And that is the visible status quo whose integrity I am objecting to with my proposition.
Why not then focus on the consequences of the legislation and juxtapose toward which effect said consequences are geared?
If you focus on the members of this status quo, i.e. what they think? how much integrity they have? What their desires are? etc. That will be an impossible task, unless there's an explicit mention of desires/intent. That is, if a person explicitly states that it's his/her desire to protect so-called Jews from harm more than X,Y, or Z, it would be near impossible to prove wrong that that is his/her desire.
... if the Holocaust were a lie, which I and most revisionists I have encountered argue is a ridiculous notion...
What do the Holocaust revisionists claim? What do they say that you find compelling?
Here are some examples of the top of my head.
1. Every single prominent nazi woman is described as a sexual sadist with stories about them that almost look like they can appear out of a porn.
2. Holocaust survivors explaining weird things like one claiming a roller coaster of death that works like some sort of conveyer belt in the death camps.
Another claimed that they survived 3 gas chamber attempts on their life because the maximum occupancy was 600 and they were the 601st there or some other non sense. I mean these people are slaughtering people but are going to respect the maximum occupancy sign on a building.
3. John Demjanjuk, was put on trial for being "Ivan the terrible" . Witness after witness who met John the terrible came forward and said it was definitely him. Maybe 200 Jews lied and said it was definitely the guy. It turns out he was a Nazi but he wasn't I am the terrible.
The laws mentioned by op. It seems that if it were true and there is zero room for doubt like the earth being round, than you wouldn't need to make laws against denialism.
There seems to be some altered photos of the Holocaust printed in newspapers. Not necessary if the events are as horrible as stated
At the end of the war German soldiers were literally starving and we are expected to believe that they starved prisoners out of malice and not because every country on the planet would prioritize feeding their troops over prisoners
There are reports of Nazis being tortured in a UK prison prior to the trials. Not sure why you would treat prisoners that way and expect confessions to be believed
There are a ton of things that need explained.
There is a professor who I have talked to who noticed some of this stuff and thinks it somehow does not harm the official narrative
but I am buying his upcoming book and reading it all the way through before I press him on the answers in case the book has the answers for me.
False and childish. Source?
The definitive portrait of Ilse Koch, whose caricature as a sadistic nymphomaniac has for too long dominated representations of Nazi female perpetrators. In Jardim’s judicious hands, Koch’s story reveals much about the Nazi system, postwar justice, and the sexism that permeated both, while firmly establishing Koch’s guilt and paranoid antisemitism.”
In a democracy, which civil right should be held in higher priority?My right to know the truth vsYour right to distort the truth?
can it be true that all we need is to alter some photos to cast doubt on the reality of any event"?
There are reports of Nazis being tortured in a UK prison prior to the trials. Not sure why you would treat prisoners that way and expect confessions to be believedYeah, torture never works.
You mean they didn't necessarily starve the prisoners out of malice they only kidnapped, enslaved, tortured, raped, worked the Jews to death our of malice but at the end they couldn't help but to starve their slaves, that part wasn't out of malice. ok.
Three years later, when the new Russian government advised that the KGB had been falsifying the evidence and the US Govt. admitted that none of the 15 Treblinka survivors they interviewed had actually id'd Demjanjuk but they went ahead and falsified two witnesses as a favor to Isreael and Israel admitted that only 8 of the 40 Treblinka survivors they interviewed had id'd Demjanjuk and Israel also admitted they had surpressed witnesses who said Demjanjuk was definitely not Ivan and had surpressed evidence of Ivan's real name.
The Israeli Govt certainly gets the most blame for corrupt prosecution but the US and USSR were both in a position to correct the record and let the accusation stand.
Still, Perez can only see one villain here, this mob of lying Jews, when, in fact, many non-Jews and Nazis also lied and the overwhelming majority of Jews interviewed did not lie.
A very specific claim - source?
That's some fucking weak as water evidence there. In the face of millions of pieces of documentary evidence, you take the position that a few minor details seem less than likely
Conveyor belts were an ordinary part of most industrial sites in the 1940s. It would be more surprising if the Germans weren't using conveyor belts.

Let's go with Ilse Koch. I was talking to a biographer of hers who pointed out this issue with a lot of female Nazis. Here is the professor I was talking too and a part of his book description. https://www.amazon.com/Ilse-Koch-Trial-Making-Buchenwald/dp/0674249186
And what a fellow historian has said that hints at this common portrayal of Nazi women

Come on oromagi. If an event happened and the media is claiming it happened. Why would they need to manipulate the evidence?
I would never claim torture doesn't work. It is better used for gaining Intel than it is for trials.
The point is why are their lies about that portion of events.
If everything they say is true why not make a nuanced claim like "they are certainly responsible for the mistreatment of prisoners prior to the end of the war but events at the end of the war were beyond their control"
If the truth is on your side, you never need bias distortion or lies.
Have you changed your opinion of the America's ruling class being bad people?
That's pretty fucked up by all 3 governments. It makes me wonder though how come they did this?
That's not the impression I got from the Netflix documentary. It seemed like the majority of witnesses were lying and this was not a film made by Nazi sympathizers.
Yes 3 survivals. Very suspicious.
Yes, I am the type where I can't form a conclusion unless every piece of evidence can be explained.
Somehow it hasn't been completely memory holed. Here is the photo I was talking about. I am looking to find an English article on it right now and will edit this post when I do . https://archive.org/details/buchenwaldblock56
Let's agree that this postion establishes you as a morally crippled individual. Those who fail to uphold the truth as superior to the lie can never pretend to be a credible of data or analysis. Why would anybody care about the opinion of somebody who refuses to value the truth more than a lie?
In the age of the internet, "the media" is the same as saying most humans- way too fucking general. You have presented ZERO evidence that historians have manipulated the evidence.
Well, then, you are a fool. All anyone has to do to keep you perpetually baffled is to keep feeding you an occaisional lie. Your absolutism makes you extremely easy to manipulate.
That is not an English article, that is some more Russian propoganda.
That is, you are claiming that historians can't be trusted because they have distorted images of NAZIs. For proof of "every single prominent woman" you offer Ilse Koch.
"The Bitch of Buchenwald" and many sensational claims about Koch originate from NAZI media, not people documenting the Holocaust.
She survived 3 different concentration camps, 2 forced marches, and once at Auschwitz, she was forced naked into a crowded room. Nothing happened but other prisoners told her that she had been in a gas chamber.
Here is how the actual article appeared in the NY Time on May 6, 1945.
Shame you didn't wonder why there was web address stamped across the photo. There were no web addresses in 1945.
But you are extraordiarily biased and also dim-witted. he Netflix documentary states that she was a sadist who turned humans into lampshades. The history books, the US and German and Israeli governments all agree that no material evidence supports Netflix's claims. Who are you going to believe?
Notice that the two democratic governments challenged their own conclusions and corrected the error in spite of massive public outage and even Senatorial commitees demanding that they preserve the false. Waiting for govt to be flawless is the folly of extremists liek you
Well because that would be a totally evil fucking lie denying rock solid historical truths.
exceeding any other mass murder event in human history
You said which one should society hold in higher regard, not individuals. Society should value freedom of speech and make no laws infringing on it.
My "absolutism" makes it so that if there are any ever highly coordinated attempts to manipulate me into believing something it never succeeds.. being perpetually baffled is far superior to the risk of ever even once being incorrect in a conclusion.
Denying the Holocaust in Russia is a prison sentence. Plus it doesn't make any sense to make that sort of thing up.
I don't know who all your examples are but I know Eva Braun and I wouldn't consider her a NAZI.
I am basing this off of memory, so give me some leeway.
I think what you stated still keeps the essence of what I said. Pretty crazy stuff. Surviving 3 camps when Hitler was systematically eliminating Jews.
This is the first time I am seeing an argument that it wasn't in the paper at all. Why out of the hundred rebuttals I saw, you are the only one that shows this?
I just assumed they were trying to get credit for discovering the fraud and stamped the photo as a way to get credit from whoever was sharing the story.
I don't understand why Holocaust deniers would manufacture evidence if they really believed. What they were saying. I can understand why they would misinterpret evidence but manufacturing evidence is an admission that you don't believe your own story.
if your version is correct their is no need for anyone to sensationalize or lie or anything else. Just present the facts.
Why are Holocaust supporters lying if the evidence supports their ultimate argument?
I think it would be better if they didn't make those false conclusions to start with.
Their own troops were starving at the end though. So maybe they did a lot of stuff out of evil intent, but why claim the starvation at the end was due to this instead of concluding the obvious that even America would have had trouble feeding prisoners if they lacked resources to feed their troops.
False. I asked you which you held in higher priority- my right to the truth or your right to lie. What value is freedom of speech, after all, if no speech can be trusted.
We've proved right here that you are a gigantic sucker for even the most obvious falsehoods- just so long as they match your compusive hatreds.
Read the domain name. .ru is russian. There is no denying that you are sourcing sketchy russian sources.
Because I went straight to the NY Times archive. You went straight to Russian propaganda sources.
For exactly the same reason you manufactured evidence about Ilse Koch and Gena Turgel- irrational hatred of Jews.
No speech can be trusted anyway. I learned this when I learned about solipsism.
I haven't fell for a single falsehood because I don't believe anything.
A Russian citizen denying the Holocaust almost certainly believes what he is saying because it can get you thrown in the gulags to believe it.
Bro, I went to leftwing sources trying to debunk the photo which includes reddit and Quora.
Regardless of where the sources came from i went to legitimate opposers of the information.
I in fact have not, there are movies about Ilse Koch from Hollywood (ran by Jews) who paint her that way. I have randomly googled other Nazi women and have came back with similar stories.
Sorry if my researched facts made you look lazy and trollish for relying on Hollywood and random googles for your facts. No wonder you can't tell the truth from lies.
