Giant_Aspirin 05/25/18 1:55:56 PM #2:	it was only a problem in Germany, where the actual Holocaust happened. the people that deny the Holocaust happened are folks who claim it was a conspiracy by the Jews to gain sympathy, which is an absolutely disgusting suggestion. Germany felt it was important enough to their society to not sweep their past under the rug, because folks who ignore history are doomed to repeat it or something like that. --- Playing: Doom (2016) (PC) *(~);} - I suppose it will all make sense when we grow up - {;(~)* <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:901970736] in Why is den...

If someone came to the conclusion that the Jewish holocaust didn't happen I don't think that makes them a bad person I think it probably makes them either stupid or they have some sort of psychological block preventing them from realizing the truth of the situation --- We're here. https://discord.gg/Q9K3ndP <cite>On_The_Edge posted [p:901970900] in Why is den...
