Old News

“There’s nothing special about the Holocaust and it’s a right-wing ploy to claim that there was” has been the far-left position for at least 30 years. I’ve heard it expressed endlessly, recently in the context of promoting the interests of Gaza, at many academic conferences.

When I say that rightists promote lefty ideas, people pout but it’s a fact. You’ve got to know it to recognize it.

    In another five minutes, they’ll move on to: “here’s why the holocaust was good, actually”

    It really doesn’t matter if the evil is operated by the left or the right, all identity politics in action is ugly, the intent is murderous. From Holocaust, to Holodomor, to Gulag, to the Hunger Winter, the only differences are the identities and the scope of the murder.

      Very, very true. I couldn’t agree more.
