These fucking deniers try every excuse under the sun to say it didn’t happen. But, how can one explain away the pictures (from over 77 years ago before computers and photoshop) the vast amount of images of emaciated and starved people that are all skin and bones weigh like 70-80 pounds? Actors? Seriously, what was the pitch? “Hey, we want you to starve yourself to the point of death or neath death so we can take some pictures, who’s in?”
The Holocaust was pure evil but how it arose provides the template for how to do it again:
- Pick a time where the population is angry about their situation (economic or whatever)
- Channel that anger towards a specific group (race, religion, etc.) and promise to fix their situation
- Control the media and messaging so there is no free press
- Bombard the population with propaganda to reinforce that anger and reinforce support for their policies
- Changes the laws limiting the powers of those groups and softening the repercussions of those committing previously illegal acts against them.
- Set policies to remove, relocate those groups. Do it in a manner to convince the population they are being relocated and not killed. Choose cryptic language so as never to indicate the worst outcome to those people.
But, if people remember the Holocaust, then people will spot those things and rise up and say “Hey, I know where this is leading and we can’t allow it to happen again”. The deniers say “we can do it again if the general population forgets about the last time or know about it but think it’s all a big lie”.
