I never took a holocaust class but there is a certain subsection of Jews that spanned from 1940-2020 that would try to claim they were in the camps despite being born no where near Germany or having never been in the country when the holocaust happened. One notable case even had the fake survivor tattoo numbers on his skin, he was found out due to using the wrong format. It’s from some of these dubious sources that some of the more extreme stories originated. Not that some of the stranger stories didn’t have a few that were real but that’s mainly to blame on the Germans being kinda wacky at the time with beliefs in esoteric neo paganism and a mix of desperation and meth.
I won’t Holocaust sperg or anything, but my highschool English class made us read Night and that book was the first time I ever questioned the validity of the claims. That whole death march scene where the Jew managed to hide a violin at the camp for months while keeping it in perfect playing condition only to pull it out mid March and play it while his fingers were frozen just screamed fake to me. Nothing about that book seemed realistic after we got to that moment. But literally every time I bring this up, people lose their shit because I dared speak ill of Elie Weisel

I’ve heard plenty of stories about odd habits some of the camp directors had, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that one liked music and allowed some of the inturned to have access to instruments, I do doubt it if it was painted as totaly smuggled in and the bits about being frozen and still playing.
 
Everyone is talking about the stock market taking a dive yesterday. IMO they are going to use the economy to go after Trump. That's right the Democrats and rich people are going to do their own version of "crashing this economy with no survivors". Crash the economy and do a media blitz blaming Trump for it. I guess we will have to see how many normies fall for it. I would like to say none, but I know normies better than that. The Great Recession/micro collapse of the late 2000's and early 2010's was one of the things that helped Obama win, that and the white guilt vote.
They literally did the same shit with stocks back in 2017. They don’t even have a housing bubble card, since property would stabilize quickly in a crash due to generations being locked out of property since 2019.

It was totally framed as the guy smuggled it in and kept it hidden the entire time until the death march. It’s painted as this powerful scene where the guy finally gives up and plays the violin as a swan song before being executed for refusing to march

Edit: I just googled the scene to reread it. Dude somehow smuggled his violin into Auschwitz, and is laying in a pile of corpses unable to move from the death march and starts playing Beethoven as a swan song before he dies. Again in the freezing cold where the strings wouldn’t have even been able to survive

"{...}the forum lacks the ideological coherence, nationalism, state authority, and hierarchical structure central to fascism."
It's almost as if this forum isn't a giant hugbox that caters to one kind of thinking or something, interesting that.

"Fascists might even view Kiwi Farms as a disorganized, ineffective, and ideologically bankrupt group{...}"
Because it isn't organized. It's a tabloid. It's just here. You all can't try to have it both ways all of a sudden; either KF is an organized LITCHERAL lynch gang running around and death-camping trannies and filling mass graves, OR it's disorganized and 'ineffective' (at what, I couldn't tell you; we sit around and talk shit all day, it's a gossip site). Make up your mind.

"{...}failing to serve the grand, revolutionary, and authoritarian vision they championed."
The 'authoritarian vision' of, what, being able to have open discourse without some retard tranny going on a power trip and banning me because I told everybody about his fart fetish or something? You can come here and straight up tell the dude who operates the site to his face that he's a retard over reddit stickers and he's such a scary 'authoritarian' that he won't shoot you on sight for it. It's crazy, I know.

I don't know how he managed to contradict himself about what they believe the site to be, while in the same statement not knowing anything about the site to begin with, but at the end of the day this retard could have just said "they say the 'nigger' word!" and left it at that.

To clarify (I will edit my post to say so also): that description of KF is written by Grok which is Twitter/X's AI offering.

I think you had said so (or had mentioned 'Grok'), but I don't keep up with anything to do with AI and thought 'Grok' was just some bsky user. Oops.
 

50 WINS IN 50 DAYS: President Trump Delivers for Americans


Today, President Donald J. Trump marks 50 days in office and he has already established himself as the most consequential President of our time. The winning never stops — and President Trump is just getting started.

Here are 50 wins for the American people in President Trump’s first 50 days:

  1. President Trump secured the border in unprecedented fashion.
    • Illegal border crossings have declined to the lowest level ever recorded — down 94% from last February and down 96% from the all-time high of the Biden Administration. In one sector, illegal border crossings are down 99% over 2023.
    • Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin: “If Fox were to send me down there right now, I would have trouble finding a single migrant on camera.”
    • CBS immigration reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez: “Typically, when we go to the U.S./Mexico border, we at least see one group of people who are trying to cross into the U.S. illegally. We did not see a single migrant.”
  2. President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law.
    • The law requires illegal immigrants arrested or charged with theft or violence to be detained — honoring the memory of Laken Riley, a Georgia college student brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant released into the country.
  3. President Trump is deporting illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and drug dealers en masse.
  4. President Trump’s tariffs are leveling the playing field for American workers.

Doomers ABSOLUTELY in shambles. So over to the point it never even began for them.
 
They view our freedoms and liberties as nonsensical insanity and insist they are prim and proper and do things the right way.
they have a point when it comes to law and order. foreigners are amazed by how little the cops dowhen the foreingers are victimized by black and brown criminals. otoh radical individualism means your safety is your own.

I don't know why you think their cops can do anything more than ours can. Their cops don't do fuck all. If I'm a foreigner and some nigger robs me, it doesn't matter whether it's in India, Australia, or the UK, but they all have to catch the damn nigger first. That's been the crux of any law enforcement. However I've never experienced any foreigner saying this. Mostly because their countries are infinitely worse. Some of them might just say theft is a part of their culture and let them go.

The only thing I've ever heard foreigners say about niggers is how much they fucking hate them. They don't understand why they are the way they are.
 
my highschool English class made us read Night and that book was the first time I ever questioned the validity of the claims
That book was deeply disturbing. I also was forced to read it in high school and Wiesel even came to my school to deliver a lecture.

I will never forget the section where he describes babies being seized from their families and thrown into the air to be used as clay pigeons for Nazi soldiers to shoot. It sticks with me to this day, decades after reading it, as one of the worst things I have ever read. I’m a fairly maternal woman and that one detail has been in my nightmares my whole life since I first read it. I believed it to be true at the time. I hope it’s not true now.

I seem to vaguely remember there being something in the news about Wiesel being discredited, although I can’t find it now.
 
People are very impatient. To the detriment of everything.

It is a sickness on all sides.
The problem with her is that she hyped up a big nothing because she couldn’t get her hands on the actual bombshells. If she had just kept quiet on the Epstein files until they at the very least had something damning, people would’ve been fine with her. Also the rickroll didn’t help.
