Reply to comment by Wahaha in Brainwashing by Wahaha

Their conflation of race and culture, their flawed notions about innate characteristics and human potential, and their unwillingness to extend moral regard to members outside their in group lead to immense cruelty and human suffering. They almost killed as many people as Communists. Almost!

Communists killed like a hundred million people, I don't think they can keep up with that. Not even almost. My grandfather was a prisoner of war of the soviets. None of the horror stories I heard about the Nazis can keep up with the shit he told us went on over in Russia. At least Germany would give their prisoners an excuse for a bed and a blanket, which the Russians wouldn't, despite having temperatures were your piss would freeze. They didn't provide toilets, either.

I think you're right about the enormous difference in scale between Nazi slaughter and Communist slaughter!

Did I answer your question adequately about why Nazis are bad?

I get where you're coming from, but none of your reasons are exclusive to the Nazis. I guess what I'm most confused about is why the Nazis get singled out to this day.

The Japanese more or less successfully genocided the indigenous people of northern Japan called Ainu and nobody is giving them a hard time for it, for example. Meanwhile, Jews are still everywhere, so the genocide against them wasn't exactly crowned by success. But still, everyone and their mothers know what the Holocaust is (by Nazis, 1941-1945, 6million deaths or so, during WWII), while being in the dark about things like the Holodomor (by Commies, 1932-1933, 12million deaths or so, during peacetime).

So the Nazis took twice as many years to kill half as much people as the Commies, but still people think Nazis killed probably nearly as much as the Commies. And the Nazis only really have the Holocaust to be blamed for, while there's many, many other atrocities done by the commies, like the mobile gas chamber cars, where the auto fumes where redirected to the passengers, who were put into the car naked, killed while they drove to a graveyard and then buried. The cars were camouflaged to look like normal cars, so nobody around would be any the wiser. These cars were for political dissenters, btw.

It's true. The Nazis are bad, but they are but one of many manifestations of evil in this world. People give disproportionate attention to things while ignoring others.

The worrying part is that communism is on the rise again. If only it was ingrained in everyone that commies are worse than nazis.
