why do you lie so much? God probably frowns on that.

If I lied about you, I will publicly apologize to you.

Why did you post the link to that book? It certainly wasn't to condemn it. You provided no commentary with your link. I don't believe my comment was out-of-bounds given your posts vis-a-vis Israel and Jews in this forum.

What exactly was a LIE about what I said? (As opposed to me merely being mistaken, which is a different kettle of squid entirely.)

I'm with rickroll on this one. I don't think lots of folks would trust LB with their kids and dogs if he wasn't a good guy.

NON-SEQUITOR FALLACY ALERT!!!

Pretty sure John Wayne Gacey was also trusted with kids and pets.


the book doesnt deny the Holocaust happened you dolt. a critical element of the book is that it did happen. the guys parents were survivors ffs. maybe you arent a liar and just cant read.


Will one of you fuckwits kindly tell us which book you're talking about here?

Good point. There are always outliers.

The Holocaust Industry by Norman Finkelstein

Did you read the wikipedia article? It said the book was praised by some high-profile holocaust deniers. I never said that the book said the Holocaust never happened.

edit: you dolt😀

A real dark irony about this is that in the Muslim world today Nazi's are held in extremely high esteem (any given year in any given Muslim country Mein Kampf is likely to be the highest selling book behind the Koran) because most Muslims perceive Naziism through this same lens, and have no real comprehension of Naziism, as an ideology or how it was practiced in totality.

I'm sure Dunyain would never post anything inflammatory about Muslims without carefully vetting his source.

Although I would like people to vet information before they spread it on the internet, it really wasn't necessary in this case. Common sense would tell you that (i) more copies of Mein Kampf are sold in predominantly Muslim countries than you would hope; and (ii) nowhere close to as many copies of Mein Kampf are sold in predominantly Muslim countries as Kelhus suggested.

lol, what a wildly dishonest way to characterize Finkelstein's work.


by Rococo m

Just the bolded?


by Trolly McTrollson m

Just the bolded

I was just focusing on the bolded because that claim should be supportable with data if it is true. I'm sure Kelhus is wrong about the other stuff as well, but there of course is no hard data on how Muslims feel about Nazis.

I was with this German girl once who came across it at a street fair or something for sale and she was super fascinated by it and thought about buying it just to learn more about Hitler or something, because it's banned in Germany. And I thought it was a bit weird but obviously Hitler holds a deeper cultural connection for Germans than for others.

I've seen it a time or pursuing for books at Goodwills here although it's not nearly a common a find as something like Eats, Shoots, Leaves or How to Win Friends and Influence People or anything by Barbara Kingsolver.

I assume that I could find a copy in some bookstore in NYC if I looked for it. Fascist political theory was required reading for a comparative contemporary political philosophy class that I took decades ago. (There also was required reading related to Marxism, Western liberalism, etc.) I can't remember whether any of the fascist writing was by Hitler. Probably not. Hitler wasn't exactly the intellectual backbone of European fascism.

I own a copy, have always been obsessed with ww2 and wanted to understand how so many people could be suckered into Nazi ideology but reading Mein Kampf did not explain that to me lol. I'm sure it was just intellectual shortcoming on my part but I found the book kinda meh, like poorly written nonsense if that makes sense.

Of the 2 billion Muslims worldwide, what % hold Nazi's in ''extremely high esteem''?

I doubt that it is a "you" problem. In addition to the obviously atrocious worldview, my understanding is that it is tedious, poorly written, and intellectually insubstantial.

Not at all, Mein Kampf is famously an incoherent mess. People in Nazi Germany bought copies to keep up appearances, but few actually read much of it (yet another reason that Kelhus's claim is an obvious lie, fyi).


by geezerchess m

Victor likes a book hailed by holocaust deniers. Who would have thunk it?

by Victor m

Funny that you accuse someone of not being able to read when that person never said what you represented them as saying. A book doesn’t need to deny the holocaust to be praised by holocaust deniers.

Sounds a lot like the bible, especially the bold.


I am not up to date on what holocaust deniers praise. and his claim that the wiki asserted such a thing was already debunked. thats why he slinked away today.

incidentally, did you ever get back to reading the yougov poll on what influenced Dems to not vote for Kamala?

Why can’t you just admit he never said that the book denies the holocaust? But yes, it looks like he was wrong that wiki said that.

incidentally, did you ever get back to reading the yougov poll on what influenced Dems to not vote for Kamala?

Are you still going around claiming the Lancet glorified letter to the editor was a study that proved that hundreds of thousands were killed?


proves? its pretty strong evidence. not that its necessary. at this point, only a denier would think otherwise.
