Churchill was a villain, but not the "chief villain". And the Holocaust was very intentional.

It was an accident the same way that arranging an orgy, renting a space for said orgy, hosting said orgy, advertising said orgy, inviting people to said orgy, hiring people to organize said orgy, supplying said orgy, and participating in said orgy until you got caught by your wife naked in a pile of bodies was accidentally cheating. Oopsy.

They didn't rent space for the orgy....they made purpose-build orgy compounds.

So your place this Saturday?

Oh come now. Whom amongst us hasn't oopsidentally founded a violent political movement, written a manifesto, taken over a country, and then run an entire propaganda and military-industrial complex for a number of years with a chief goal of exterminating several different ethnicities, sexual orientations, and cultures? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, sir or madam!

Churchill was the Netanyahu of his time, right down to liquidating inconvenient ethnic groups.

Hitler was in the same time and worse, thus stealing the "chief villain" title.

Don't forget Stalin. Churchill had some stiff competition in the villain league.

[–] odium@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

If we sat here listing all the competition, we'd be here for days. Unit 731, Pol Pot, Mao, Gottlieb and Dulles, so many other villains.

I wish you luck on your crusade to convince people that Churchill was worse than Hitler. You’re going to need it.

Who is saying the Holocaust wasn't a meticulously planned, documented and executed Genocide?

I'm frustrated and confused but I'm just gonna get off the Internet for a bit.

The image and link of the post say that Tucker Carlson was enamored by a "historian" who claims that the Holocaust was an accident.

Ah, I was having a bad day. Thought I was being accused of Holocaust denial, repeatedly.
