    You’re looking at it with rose colored glasses. There have been Holocaust deniers ever since the Holocaust.

    And now we have an ongoing genocide being live-streamed by the very people committing it, and they’re still denying genocide.

      Yes. But they didn’t have a megaphone to reach millions with one post. They were rightfully looked at as crazy assholes and mostly stayed in the dark.

        No, you’re either misremembering or intentionally misstating to advocate for censorship. Holocaust denial has been prevalent in media and among the powerful as well.

        The entire reason it was allowed to happen was because of denial by the media and the powerful. Not some working class assholes with a printing press. And we see it playing out exactly the same way now with the genocide in Palestine.
