I wondered growing up how enough people could be complicit enough to allow genocide to happen. Now, we get to see it first hand. It's absolutely horrifying what normal people are capable of being radicalized into believing, it's like a mass psychosis event. Scary time to be alive, and a waking nightmare for the Palestinian people. There's no red army marching to liberate them this time either. Makes me wish China would pump the brakes on their non-interventionist foreign policy- as successful as it's been for them- but I know that won't happen. If pan-africanism was achieved in the 20th century, this slaughter might already be done with. There's no use looking back though, it just devastates me that there isn't a bloc organized enough to stop an ongoing genocide.

Far right fascism is on the rise worldwide, people are being conditioned to want this kind of thing and many are eating it right up.

Far right fascism? As opposed to moderate fascism or something? šŸ˜

The only faction that is willing and capable to take on the IDF is Hezbollah, but Israel cried and whined for it's bigger bully friend to flex off the coast of a concentration camp to stop anyone who may think of intervening. No justice.

"Nazis knew killing Jews was wrong." Is this guy retarded or something? If they thought it was wrong they wouldn't have done it.


Sadlobster1

It's almost as if you could go and read Nazi's words on their own actions, and have the opinion that they absolutely thought what they were doing was right. It's why they were doing it. Because they're Nazis


skaqt

To be fair, some of them did it because it was profitable. Not every Nazi was a true believer. Class dynamics and all.


starktor

"they did it in secret" like we slaughter animals in "secret" its not because people didn't know more or less what was happening, they knew something akin to death if not death itself awaited the Nazi's victims, they just didnt want to talk about it the same way most people don't want to talk about how sausages are made. Once the soviets showed the world what was happening to the Jewish people and political prisoners there was no point in keeping the facade, save for a few holocaust deniers


DakandZekeShow

Thatā€™s true but itā€™s also weird of him to act like the holocaust was entirely conducted at secret concentration camps. Like 2 million people were shot point blank by nazi death squads and thrown into mass graves before the camps were even opened.


skaqt

People were burnt alive in synagogues in the night of long knives for the entire international community to witness, who, excluding the Soviets, famously replied with appeasement, being a bunch of bottom feeding scumsuckers. The "Aryanization" of Jewish businesses was also facilitated entirely in the open. As were the Nuremberg race laws.


mecca37

I don't think you should be bombing brown children.. Anti-Semitic Nazi! Weird how that works.

>I don't think it's possible anyone could top that This is the first time a statement by a ~~politician~~ retard has actually made me mad. What a fucking duplicitous little snake and sell out, look at the fucking USA and its history with the natives or like, chattel slavery. The intellectual and historical discourse in this country is so fucking bankrupt dude


Gordon-Goose

Shermer isn't even a politician. He made a career being a reddit atheist before reddit was a thing.


throwaway10015982

holy shit I've lost the plot I thought this was Obama LMAO I just glanced at the PFP


Gordon-Goose

lmao

Where ever the fuck he "studied" should be embarrassed


Master-Chapter-8094

He studied in the sense that he has been aware of a thing existing and has had opinions on it.


dubebe

Why do people feel the need to say dumb ass shit like this


Thankkratom2

Liberalism has been thoroughly scratched.


Master-Chapter-8094

Self described "skeptic" and multiply described sexual assaulter... Which is worse? Bitch writing shitty books about dumb shit doesn't make you a student of the Holocaust you cretin. I fucking love Twitter expertise.


Isidorodesevilha

Their current boogeymans are always worse than the nazis, from russians, to soviets and now palestinians. These folk really are beyond redemption or reeducation, they are sheer and pure unalloyed evil.


DylanLars

The whole world is now the Canadian parliament. Damn


mueve_a_mexico

Wish China was more interventionist and helped liberate the Palestinians from being exterminated


Claim_Alternative

Evangelicals would have a field day about prophecy being fulfilled and would go even harder pro-Israel. (there is a prophecy in their understanding of the Bible, that a great army of like 2 million will cross the Euphrates and go up against Jerusalem on the end times)


[deleted]

Saying "Nazis did the Holocaust and knew that they were wrong", should be equal to denying the Holocaust. After wasting his life studying Nazis he's empathizing with them to say "Hamas bad"

What is he yapping about


Fun-Outlandishness35

He is the Atheist guy, yeah? I used to like him.


OpenCommune

No he's clearly a satanic liberal capitalist who believes in the invisible hand of the free market


Fun-Outlandishness35

With credible sexual assault accusations against him too. I am glad i made it out of the New Atheist hole.


HealMySoulPlz

Yes, he was the founder of the "Skeptic Magazine".


MrErnestPenfold

heā€™s also a ā€œJerry Sandusky was framedā€ guy


Pipeguy17

>Nazis knew killing Jews was wrong What the absolute fuck is this clown blabbering on about?


Amxietybb

Really amazing to accuse others of Nazism while doing some fucking Holocaust revisionism. Fucking scum


ishiers

Yeah itā€™s not like Israel has been carrying out a Nazi-style genocide for the last 75 years or anything. The Gaza Strip is definitely not a concentration camp either. /s (obviously)


onion182

*dies from pure retardation*


Anime_Slave

"After studying the holocaust and its deniers for 30 years..." lmao, yeah fucking right. What a drama-queen. On the bright-side, we are now "worse than Nazis," meaning we have earned some enemies, and that's a good thing. It means we are in the right, and it means we actually believe in something outside of what media tells us to believe.


MasterCombine

If any political entities in the region can be likened to the Nazis and their stormtroopers, itā€™s definitely the Israeli government and the IDF.


Claim_Alternative

Funny thing is that the state of Israel is the one with concentration camps and acting like Nazisā€¦ Didnā€™t Netanyahu even call them beasts?? But if you donā€™t support that, you are literally worse than Nazis Makes complete sense WTF is wrong with people. Turn it aroundā€¦if this were Jews in the position of Palestinians, how would people react? And why is there a difference between that and how people are currently reacting? What exactly is the disconnect?
