one is history illiterate asshole while the other is special-grade asshole
I contend that they are the same type of asshole with the same goal but they present their arguments in a way that makes a portion of the populace jump ever so slightly onto their side. If they can get people to agree that one portion of the Holocaust was more tragic than another then they have already begun to chip away at what made the Holocaust so horrendous. Holocaust denial isn't about not thinking it happened, it's about pretending they think it didn't happen to devillainize their side. Just because they picked one group affected by the Holocaust over another doesn't make it any less Holocaust denial, it just makes it Holocaust denial that doesn't bother you, meaning they won.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Classic nazi tactic to come for groups you don't care about so they can eventually come for you.
I totally agree, lawns are a huge waste of space and resources. I've torn up every lawn on every property I've rented or owned and replaced it with local plants for native pollinators (honeybees are invasive and harm native pollinators).
Yeah, instead of using that land to grow monocultured grass, we could use it to grow plants we do eat. It's not like we would keep growing grass there and say "Darn! We can't eat this grass!", we wouldn't need to plant plants we don't eat in the first place.
I grew up with an uncle who raised steer and the sheer amount of land it took just to grow the corn and grass they ate was astounding. The animals also needed constant medication to stop them getting each other sick due to diet and proximity. So that's the regular non organic, non grass fed/finished reality. With human population the way it is that kind of farming is pretty much the only way we can sustain eating meat in the amount we do.
I wonder, realistically, how much land it would take to produce our meat, at the current rate of consumption per capita, to grass feed/finish all those animals.
I unironically would love to visit Thailand for the cuisine. Then again, if the internet is any indication, I must be the only white man on earth who isn't particularly into Asian women.
You know what they say about people who sit at tables with Nazis without protest.
