Being smug to fascist apologists is actually good though

I might be misreading things, but it's the fascist apologist wikipedia editor that wrote up a summary of correct things then smugged all over it calling it incorrect.

The way I interpreted it, the wikipedia writers copied an argument from the book which was apparently glorifying a mass murderer as some sort of hero who tried to save jews and other persecuted people from being murdered, but then the same wikipedia writers omitted the next paragraph, where the author of the book calls the argument he just talked about nonsense.
