The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

    How can an opinion be “factually wrong?”

    Lol.

    There you go doing it again. Pretending that anyone who goes against the tribe is immediately, factually wrong.

    Thanks for proving my point.

      They are not factually wrong becuase their opinion does not match the popular opinion. They are factually wrong because their opinion does not align with the fact that the holocaust was not only about exterminating jews.

      How can an opinion be “factually wrong?”

      If I formed the opinion that the third Reich did not want to exterminate disabled people as part of the holocaust that would be factually wrong. That’s how facts and opinions work.

          Let’s quote the oxford dictionary then:

          opinion (noun) your feelings or thoughts about somebody/something, rather than a fact

          In this context the opinion is the thought that the holocaust was only about exterminating jews. This thought does not align with the facts.

          People have the opinion that the climate isn’t changing. People have the opinion that the world is flat. People have the opinion everyone with dark skin is sub human.

          Some people frame their terrible views as opinions so they can use the bad faith argument that it’s just a difference of opinions so everyone should just be ok with their hateful or ignorant stances. Some people frame their terrible views as opinions to try and avoid valid criticism of their opinions contradictions with reality.

          You are fervently engaging in a behavior exhibited by the hateful and ignorant and there is a pretty safe bet as to why.
