Homeboy on the left so Nazi that he salutes sitting down.
Slowly sanding down the jagged edges of fascism, making it easier to swallow.
If he was a historian, he would not be so quick to put the label “villain” but instead form a sentence that describes his actions and then say something like “which is why I personally consider him a villain”.
Historians don’t lead with the labels, they talk about events and facts and then once it’s clear, they suggest an opinion.
Don’t forget Elon’s now-deleted tweet promoting this.
At least he didn’t deny the Holocaust…
Or does he go like “it happened and it was a tragedy, but the people documenting it added an extra zero by accident…”?
Most deniers try to wrap it up in a bow. It’s often “there was a disease outbreak they were trying to control”, or “the death toll isn’t nearly as bad as the official story”, or “it would have been dumb for the Nazis to spend so many resources when they were losing the war”, or “Auschwitz had a swimming pool”. They rarely come right out and say it didn’t happen.
It all has the same goal: make the holocaust not seem so bad so they can implement the same policies.
it would have been dumb for the Nazis to spend so many resources when they were losing the war
I mean, starting the war in the first place was pretty stupid, as were a great many of their other decisions. It’s not like Nazis are, were, or ever will be rational actors. So wasting resources on genocide in the middle of a war they were losing was very much in-character.
