    I don’t want to defend gulags but they didn’t have poison shower rooms or child corpse disposal staff.

    Neither did concentration camps:

    "Interned persons may be held in prisons or in facilities known as internment camps (also known as concentration camps). The term concentration camp originates from the Spanish–Cuban Ten Years’ War when Spanish forces detained Cuban civilians in camps in order to more easily combat guerrilla forces. Over the following decades the British during the Second Boer War and the Americans during the Philippine–American War also used concentration camps.

    The term “concentration camp” and “internment camp” are used to refer to a variety of systems that greatly differ in their severity, mortality rate, and architecture; their defining characteristic is that inmates are held outside the rule of law. Extermination camps or death camps, whose primary purpose is killing, are also imprecisely referred to as “concentration camps”."

    Don’t minimize the Holocaust on your way to agree with everyone else that tankies are delusional assholes.

    The singularity of the Holocaust lies in the extermination camps, where millions of people were murdered with industrial efficiency:

    Saying that concentration camps exist(ed) in other countries is not Holocaust relativism.













  • I really don’t have any idea what you’re talking about, and think you may just have… visited loud places? Yes, they exist.

    Like yes, a place that has loud music running is… loud? No surprise there? Why do go there, lol?

    Yes, if you’re in a bar in Berlin Mitte on a saturday night that’s just packed with drunk people… that is loud. I don’t see how that’s specific to Germany. Ever been to any pub in the UK? I usually can’t understand my neighbor there and that’s on a regular wednesday evening.

    The bars I visit in Berlin don’t play music at all, and I wouldn’t know any restaurant that plays loud music. And I’m really terribly sensitive to noise.

    Also Germans are known for a lot of things, but not necessarily for being loud? On the contrary, most people consider it rude. I’ve been to most of Europe and also abroad, and Germans generally are really more on the quiet part of the spectrum. Spanish expats in Berlin, e.g., literally the first thing they are being told is to stop shouting.





  • So, just to let you know before I block you utter <bleep>, I was reading Marx when you were just a wet spot, and I actually do happen to „like“ him. But funny that you only now come quoting him, after I handed you half of the exact quote you’re giving. But I’m the one scouring Wikipedia 😂
