Holocaust Denial

So what's the deal with Holocaust denial?

I think it happened but the numbers were questionable, and even so it was still horrific.

I also dislike the emotional driven narrative that plagues the USA that puts Jews on a pedestal, but yeah, the Holocaust did happen.

Because people always feel the need to counter things they disagree with in equal extremity. So when, like you say, there's a constant emotionally driven narrative around the Holocaust, other just as delusional people who get tired of it are going to shout the total opposite of what you'd usually hear.

It actually did not fucking happen though.

>I think it happened but the numbers were questionable,
Why do people say this? What's the point?

Because most of the arguing is over the amount of deaths, when it might have been inflated for propaganda or miscalculated, some people draw the conclusion that because of this it did not happen at all.

>what's the point

dunno, historical accuracy, truthfulness etc

More like denial

you smell of garlic and gefilte fish

90% of people don't give a shit one way or the other. Whether it was 6 million or 12 million or 2 million, they'll probably hate Hitler whatever the case. Another 5% are virulent anti-semites who think that if they can disprove the Holocaust then the Jewish conspiracy will unravel and we'll enter a new golden age for the white race without gays or blacks - the Latins can stay as long as they stick to mowing lawns. 4% are Jews and those unquestionably for Jews who have every incentive to defend the Holocaust regardless of any facts presented on either side, and they will call any Holocaust denier an anti-semite without fail. 1% actually cite sources beyond "THOSE OVENS COULDN'T COOK 4,000 JEWS A DAY"

You can say it fills an indirect purpose by constantly challenging the scholarship around WW2 and allows researchers to pursue different weak points.
