Or you just happy to insult but not engage? My objection is to your reductive framing of Chomsky's position and your opinion that any counter view on whether holocaust denial ought to be criminalised is 'absurd'. I don't think that your view is idiotic, in fact it may be justified particularly since the way in which people exchange information has evolved. I don't even think that you're an idiot but it seems fair game to say it considering the way the discussion has been conducted on your side. There are plenty of respectable intellectuals having this debate without expressed moral outrage smothering the discourse. What is Deborah Lipstadt's take on the matter do you know? Is criminalization even effective? Holocaust denial is completely discredited here, it's barely touched upon as a topic in mainstream media yet in France it's commonly on the news making martyrs of its proponants. The idea that it's ongoing legality will suddenly challenge the truthful facts of the holocaust is debateable. The rise of anti semitism is more complicated than that. Dedicating more learning time to explain to young people In schools why understanding the holocaust and anti semitism is important needs to be a primary focus. Should this criminalization apply only to the Shoah? The New York Review recently underestimated the genocide of Native Americans by a factor of 50 but this went almost entirely unnoticed such is the lack of awareness of that atrocity. I'm aware of the motives of holocaust deniers and that the event has been meticulously recorded in the modern era so the comparison is not direct however there is a complexity to the management of the matter which needs to be considered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, at least it isnt as extreme a lie as the ones you've peddled using "Tony" and "The Watcher". The fact that you think anyone "snuggles up" on a football website is another weird insight into your mindset. After all this and your obsession over where I live, I'm definitely going to be adding an extra lock to the door tbh. On the qualified historian patter, I guess all the da's on here get as uptight about people calling themselves qualified teachers, nurses, etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The concept of ‘operating as a dotting account’. Not sure if: Or: Just find it a bit mental that middle-aged men are spending their time setting up additional accounts to get one over on people on a football forum by hitting them with additional red dots. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
