The Holocaust was real, and it’s important to not forget atrocities because as we can see we slip back into them very quickly.
My main issue with HOW the Holocaust lives in the modern western conscious is that it drowns out plenty of other genocides, from the Armenian genocide and the Bengal famine up to more recent ones in Gaza and the Congo. It’s ridiculous to compare genocides as if they can be distilled to a number and compared, but the framing of the Holocaust as worse than the other genocides is so counterproductive to developing the empathy necessary to prevent this kind of thing in the future.
I mean the Holocaust literally happened and Europe and they’re full of racism against romani and recent migrants. People shit on the USA for having a checkered past but at least we know about it. The number of brits who don’t even know about their atrocities in Ireland, their backyard, is nuts. That’s not even counting what happened in their colonies. I talked with a Belgian once who wasn’t aware of how bad their colony in the Congo was.
US wanted a “friend” in the middle east to ensure access to oil.
No, thats BS – trying to blame the Us for zionisms crimes. The Nakba wasnt a US invention and that happened right after ww2. Zionism is not America’s fault and does not benefit America at all. Its pure cost and always has been. America already has better friends in the middle east to access oil. It does not need anything from Israel at all-- not commerically, strategically, diplomatically, and things would be smoother oil-access wise if Israeli religious terrorists werent present in the region. We’re there because zionists have money. Some of which we gave them.
A giant honeypot operation whose goal was to ensnare as many prominent politicians and business leaders as they could into raping children.
And they hoodwink the rest of humanity with “holocaust.”
Guilt for that shit should have run out 70 years ago.

I understand that the holocaust was real. But that cow has been milked to death.
We should be milking it more. And some people are.
Because what’s happening in Gaza isn’t much different. Slightly less organized. Equally inhumane and unhuman.

100 percent agree. It was a propaganda plan from the very beginning.
US wanted a “friend” in the middle east to ensure access to oil. And used holocaust guilt to push it to the people back home.
