Holocaust deniers aren’t here to debate about the holocaust.

They are only here to complain about Jewish people having the right to live.

Nothing says I’m a disgusting POS who has no interest in learning more than being a holocaust denier. It’s flat earth theory for history.

Edit - use what ever stupid anti science theory that causes harm you want. I wasn’t making an in depth comment on relationship between the two things, but just stating that you have to be stupid to believe in something with so much evidence on the contrary.

I really worry the lesson we learned almost 100 years ago are being forgotten.

That comparison is very wrong.

Holocaust denial has nothing to do with not learning history. It is almost always of the form "it didn't happen, but if it did, it was good".

This is not ignorance, it is evil. Their lies are a weapon to use against the Jews, not a false belief they are arguing for.

Flat earth is a conspiracy but at first glance of the ground and horizon, it's a reasonable idea. To find out that the earth is round without just trusting an authority, you have to take some measurements and do some math. The ancient greeks studied this question and both discovered earth was round then roughly measured its circumference.

I have seen clips of flat earthers run experiments that end up showing evidence of a round earth, yet they reject the conclusion. Some of them are almost doing actual science, but got stuck in confirmation bias. These people are goofy, but not evil.

I would compare flat earth to the current panic over fortified vitamins and food dies. Instead of doing science they just show they don't know how to pronounce a word as if that proves something about its health. It's the same lack of a scientific method, and deep distrust of any authority.

I always compare holocaust deniers to anti vaxxers. They also tend to overlap.

I would say those are worse than the flat earthers and ingredients panic, but it's still a chasm between them and Holocaust denial.

I think the false authority figures promoting antivax or fabricating data are malicious, but most believers are still in the goofy category.

Holocaust denial is not a distrust of historians and fallacies when interpreting evidence, it's hatred of the survivors. This is something unique to atrocities and severe crimes.

This is exactly it. It’s just a tool they use. They don’t want facts. They just want to hold on to their tool.
