But shouldnt fact be neutral? For example: "the holocaust was evil and killed countless innocent civilians" or "the holocaust resulted in (actual estimate) civilian deaths" The former is emotional and the latter is factual, but both highlight the perpetrated evil against the innocent.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying your point.

Yes.

But it’s also possible to just quietly omit information.

The holocaust resulted in millions of deaths

Sounds bad

the holocaust resulted in the death of approximately six million Jews and a further eight to ten million people from other groups such as Russian POW, Slav, Roma, Sinti, and homosexuals.

Puts figures to how bad it was.

...and homosexuals

Imagine if western powers had carved off a chunk of the middle east and then said "and this spot is just for the gays".

I have a feeling that country would be fabulous

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 31 minutes ago

To give some credit, I don’t think that 30% of the global population of the gays or Roma or Slavs was killed by the Nazis. But, still, wow.

Watch this bs:

The holocaust is alleged by pro-Jewish groups to have resulted in the deaths of six million Jews

Feels gross to read, right?
