RE: Steemit Conspiratorial Discussion Panel: Another incentivized contributory based exercise and experiment.
Fascinating ... I have just read your Hitler post; a few things which people tend to find intolerable to grasp: Hitler was, in a very large part, funded by the USA; he was not remotely vilified and was quite welcome in social settings in London, especially. Nazism is what we fought against and yet, due to lack of affirmative action, much of Europe is governed under Nazi policies.
The misreporting of the holocaust is shameful. Victors write history! The thing at the time was that Hitler needed a scapegoat and termed 'The Great Lie' the German people believed the theories of Jewish malfeasance - and so it came about.
The Vatican was notably unscathed and the Israelis were very much supportive of Hitler in the thirties. There are many Jewish holocaust memorials. Little anti-German sentiment co-exists. Having known two survivors of the incarceration of Jews in Germany, the truth lies somewhere between the hype and the hype!
Exactly. The truth lies in between the two polarities. What did you think of the article and my opinion?
I hope that you will join in these discussions and perhaps even suggest a topic or write a post or two yourself!
@ebryans : in your opinion, what did Hitler stand for?
Would be more than happy to contribute as you see fit! I am hoping to start a competition or several - this is like a debating society in a way - so, lets keep in touch - Direct messaging on steemitchat?
Re your post, I think you were well balanced. I think younger people as so many here are, are sceptical of so much! Having met two survivors of Concentration camps and worked for them in Australia, I find the deny movement not just arrogant in their assuredness but wilfully ignorant which is a crime against self!
Perhaps.....but some of the evidence does check out. For example, have you read The Leuchter report?
Yes, though not in detail ... there are so many versions of Truth. Truth lies buried and is the privilege of those present at the time. The first casualty of war ...Unfortunately, we seem to be in perpetual war!
I watched with great interest how the four UN Peace Envoys returned to the US and gave a Press Conference at the UN. Their testimony is being trounced upon by reports from the White Helmets, a propaganda outfit.
King Harold was not shot in the eye at Hastings, Jesus's name was not Jesus and he was not a carpenter; were the jews subjected to appalling treatment in WWII, I think the denial would be tantamount to wilful ignorance.
Were 6 million Jews murdered in gas chambers, no. Nobody believes that. Were Jews murdered in gas chambers, yes. Was Auschwitz made to look worse than it was, yes. It is a construct of human behaviour to manipulate things to our ends, a bit like saying: "but he started it" to justify a school yard scrap resulting in a broken arm.
We have curious self-defence mechanisms, expressed as justification.
Exactly on point.
Though I think everyone (with the exception of generals and any other type of commander) were susceptible to appalling treatment
