The Holodomor and Mao's purges haven't gotten near the same coverage and attention as the Holocaust has. Communism gets a pass.

That's all you've got? Anyone who brings up part of the holocaust history that you don't want to acknowledge is now a holocaust denier?

Pretty sad.

I addressed that on the previous page. Those dead people cannot produce anywhere near the revenue that the dead european Jews can in terms of film, media, commercial revenue etc. Not even close.

A large part of these "Americans" are Illiterate.

I'd bet Many are from 3rd world countries and many from inner cities where education stops or is non existent around the 6th grade for many.

It's not that they don't believe. They just don't know chit.

America is cartwheeling down the road toward autocracy and possibly, if the dotard gets re-elected, a dictatorship People are frolicking in the aisle with support for the guy who will take their freedoms away. What, you think because he "only" hates Muslims and Latinos he is suddenly going to "like" you after he has your vote and no reason to any longer be your friend"? Think again.


These are people who would burn America to the ground for self enrichment. Just like people not believing that Jews were slaughtered. many people still can't see that they are on the cusp of being brainwashed--not for their own good, but for the good of other people who have no qualms whatsoever about using people and then discarding them as trash when they have exceeded their usefulness. It is "convenient " to certain groups to preach that Jews were not exterminated, just like it is convenient to preach destruction to other groups in America today just to get their support, however fleeting, to enrich the lives of those who would do the destructing. Sure, lets get out of trade groups, abandon climate policies, deride education, slander minorities or minimize health care. It all sounds so juicy until it is Your job, Your air, Your health, or YOU who is being slandered and derided. Then it all becomes VERY believable, doesn't it?

Sad thing is most Americans have no clue what the Armenian genocide which also killed millions. History goes in cycles, need to recognize when we are heading down such a direction.

Many are too rich to get into college on their own merit, with out paying through the backdoor for their degrees, for they do not know shyte either.

Don't forget Stalin's gulags. 3X more deaths than the Holocaust.
