In reply to the discussion: CAM (Combat Antisemitism Movement) weekly antisemitism report: 250% surge in Holocaust denial [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,283 posts)Stating with the most obvious things in need of rebuttal:
I am far from saying that nobody who has been victim of an ugly thing can then do an ugly thing. But that is not what you are proposing. You make no distinction between war crimes and a particular war crime of genocide. You insist that one bad thing is equivalent in all respects to a far worse ugly thing associated with the Holocaust. In fact, you use the same term to describe the two to quite literally ("genocide is genocide" imply equivalency between them, even though the term you are using does not, by its proper definition, apply to a lesser ugly thing. THIS is dishonest. Hell yeah, it's Holocaust inversion by definition, and hell yeah, I would vociferously object to that! Holocaust denial is not limited to the patently abominable "there has never been a Holocaust" bullshit. Don't tell me that denying the uniqueness of any part of the Holocaust experience is not Holocaust denial.
With this in mind, your suggestion that I "attempt to deny reality because you don't seem to be able to defend the actions you're distracting from". is way too convoluted. I don't get what is the "reality" you are referring to is or the actions I am "distracting from" is. Clearly, the OP is depicts the reality of the actions I am focusing on. It is your posts that deflect from the report and question its validity on non-factual grounds. You are now deflecting to China and the Uygurs while suggesting that I am not being honest on the Holocaust, which you put among "other ugly things", thus reinforcing your belittlement of the Holocaust. I am reluctantly indulging you in this deflection, but I am far from promoting it. This is where your arguments get garbled, maybe intentionally, or maybe not.
To accuse me of using Holocaust inversion in a "patently false" manner (I am not even sure how you propose my use of Holocaust inversion deviates from the definition of the term), you had to first make a false presumption that I am saying something I never said or implied, and on that basis alone tell me that I am not being honest. That's a Strawman argument.
The rest of your propositions are too nonsensical to be addressed.
