Thanks to the US Army...
and others.
“What horse manure. There have been incidents throughout history where conquering armies have slaughtered the population of entire cities, men, women, and children. The only thing different about the “Holocaust” was the updated mechanism.”
The Golden Horde, Ottoman Turks,Hutus, Wounded Knee,Deerfield massacre,Carthage, Rome, Katyn Forest, etc come to mind. Throughout history.
“Liberals don’t oppose Nazis for being totalitarian mass murderers. They oppose Nazis for being racist. Murder doesn’t figure as a crime in Leftist ideology, racism does”
Liberals care less about race. They only exploit it for political gain. They hate nazis because they both competed for the same thing and after Hitler they still use him and nazism as a straw man.
You’re absolutely right. All of this talk about the Holocaust being unique and without precedent is nonsense. Tribes, sects, and ethnicities have been killing members of other tribes, sects and ethnicities en masse since the beginning of human history. The Nazis were just more efficient at industrializing the process than their predecessors. It was only “unprecedented” from a mass production standpoint.

And just think of the technological strides we’ve made since then?
How is it any more heinous than Pol Pot's murderous obsession with anyone who had an education, owned property, or drove a car (or allegedly, even those who wore glasses)? It's only more heinous if you accept the Left's notion that murdering someone on the basis of racial hatred is somehow qualitatively different or worse than murdering someone for ideological reasons.
You see the same thing in the US where "hate crimes" (absurdly) have a different legal status than any other murder.
Because NAZIs lost.
Commies moved on, and infiltrated everything in our society (never mind Europe and so on).
Russians were buds with Hitler, until he betrayed them. Lots of commies already were festering who adored the USSR. When their beloved USSR was betrayed, suddenly they pretended that fascists are the OPPOSITE of them, and their mortal enemies.
It does not make sense politically. They are far from opposites, only degrees different.
But, since commies decided they hated fascists, and successfully infiltrated our western society, more people generally would see NAZIs as the only evil that ever existed! Psshhaawww.
I agree.
I really don’t see how “genocide” is worse than “general-cide”.
Pick your poison.
Yes, you make a good argument, especially about absurd hate crimes, and being Canadian I know how race has been used to justify our human rights quasi courts.
So it might just be the “Christian” in me, that seems something even satanic about anti-Jewish hatred.
FACT IS THERE IS ZERO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO...
JUST TWO COMPETING FACTIONS BASED ON STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE...
LOOK AT THE BLACK CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS RAVING ABOUT HOW GREAT VENEZUELA AND CUBA ARE AND SAYING WE SHOULD COPY THEM....SUPREME STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE COMBINED WITH RACISM...
Because we have more communists in our Gov’t than Nazi’s.
I love that movie...so funny on so many levels, one of my favorites.
I had never seen the Die Hard movies, and just saw the first one the other night. Not really my cup of tea, but...it was fun to see Alan Rickman in it...one of my favorite actors. There was nobody who could do dry evil bad guy quite the same way he did...:)
While to the Nazi the communist and to the communist the Nazi, and to both the socialist, are potential recruits made of the right timber, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom. — F A Hayek, The Road to Serfdom (May, 1945 Reader’s Digest Condensed Version)
Generally true but I have seen documentaries and spoken to some Germans and it is rather spooky this trend now to moral relativism. There still are sons for instance who say their Nazis fathers had no choice in what they did. A few Germans I have known even morally equate Dresden to whatever the Nazis did to the Allies. As though they are building up an argument that both sides were in the wrong.

Its not just that no other mass murders of the 20th century are being eternally cursed as the Germans are—and this==principally because of the manipulations of the left. The problem is not just that. The problem is that the left is generalizing the curse to all white people and all western civilization. In fact, this was the original intent of the communist frankfurt school. When you accuse the Germans you curse yourself. That’s what its come to.
Saw it again just last weekend, great fun.
He saved Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood movie.
Was pleasantly surprised by Russell Crowe’s version.
LOL, I forgot about that one...I recall his Sheriff of Nottingham was a good one!
Correct. This explains why of all genocides and mass murders the Nazis are singled out as unique and unprecedented. The Nazis have become a symbol of "white racists" (or in some cases of western European culture generally), so by criticizing them you're (in the mind of the Left) also damning all of their other boogie men. Hitler has become a stand-in for anything a liberal opposes.
No other mass murder committed in the 20th century has similar propaganda value. In fact, most other mass murders are an embarrassment to the Left because they were motivated by the same instincts (egalitarianism, class warfare, anti-white hatred) that drive the western left.
Funny. Karl Marx also gave quite a bit of anti-Semitic remarks, and arguably was the progenitor of the whole “Final Solution” thing. He’s still considered a darling to the Left. And don’t get me started on how Stalin’s still beloved by the Left DESPITE the whole Doctor’s Plot he concocted.
Besides, most of Hitler’s victims were actually WHITES. Some people in his army actually included Muslims and Blacks (not to mention he if anything PREFERRED Islam to Christianity). I guess the Left really IS blind.
Because the people stirring up the hatred are communists.
