Well, give us a chance. We're still trying to recruit our stormtroopers. But people keep whining they won't have time for nice potlucks if they start persecuting other religions.
I just keep pointing out that "No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Here we have the crux of the matter, protecting the inanely tedious sacred cow of the Jewish Holocaust.
Hatte to tell 'em this but it wasn't the most important event in the 20th century. It wasn't even close. I still think the "six million" was somewhat inflated. Maybe four to five million is closer.
Cute revisionism.
There were 9 million European Jews in 1938 and 3 million in 1945. 6 million is a rough estimate.
I agree that it is not the key event of the 20th century. I consider that to be World War 1.
I also think that the Holocaust is the wrong paradigm here.
The Holocaust was racial. The murder of Christians was generally because of belief. Christians who became communists or muslism were spared in most cases.
I would also note that some of the figures here are overblown. Christians Jews atheists adn Communists were killed by Stalin in the ukranian famine. On the other hand there were millions killed because they were Christian and thus opposed the regime. The first group are victims of mass murder, the second are martyrs.
The Holocaust is just irrelevant to most people now, especially Gentile young people, and that's what has the Holocaust industry scared.
i suppose it is safe for you to express increasing anti-Semetic positions?
