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.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

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?
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.
