Best take on this. A lot of Jewish people said “we must never let this happen again,” but some motherfuckers took notes.

Everyone post-WW2: "Never again"

  • Some people: "Never again should that be inflicted on anyone"
  • Other people: "Never again should that be inflicted on the Jewish"

There’s a YouTube channel covering WWII week by week, and there’s a sister series called War Against Humanity, which covers the atrocities committed on all sides—not just the a death camps and the murders in the ghettos, but firebombing campaigns, the Japanese internment camps, the Bata’an death march, the famine in India at the hands of the Raj, and so on. Every episode ends with host Spartacus Olsson repeating the phase that we should be using, “Never forget”. Because a huge contingent of us seems to be forgetting.

Is that like The Great War or something?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Like The Great War, the shows are written and/or hosted by Indy Neidell and Spartacus Olsson (with additional programming by Olsson’s wife and daughter Astrid and Anna Deinhart, respectively), but there’s a different production team.

That was the channel they had when they did WWI. So, same concept and core team, but different channel.

Seems those other people haven't really learned anything from it at all, considering they'd still be down for it happening to anyone else.

"We must learn from the past" vs "We must learn from the past"
