Comparing what is happening at Columbia to Kristallnacht is Holocaust denial.

Eve Fartlow is a Holocaust-denying antisemite.

Honestly that's what blowing my mind about shit like this. She's doing nazi-apologia to own some college students peacefully protesting

Genuine question: Is it Holocaust denial because Fartlow is comparing the widespread and organized violent persecution of Jewish people to something that is not at all comparable, thus downplaying the actual significance of the Kristallnacht?

[-] [email protected] 100 points 1 year ago

Yes. That's exactly it. She's weaponizing an actual tragedy to try to score cheap political points against a bunch of peaceful protesters, a not insignificant number of them being Jews themselves. It's cheap, it's gross, and it downplays the significance, scale, and horror of a historical event. Once you draw that unfair comparison the reader is given two choices: believe this is actually as bad or conclude that krystalnacht wasn't that bad. it's a dangerous game to play and anybody operating in good faith doesn't play it.

Yes, she is trivializing Kriatallnacht by comparing it to these protests.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
