are there “legit” deniers, or are they just cosplaying as assholes? I don’t think I have come across them in meatspace, and not saying they don’t exist. But I always thought of them like flat earth dicks. When pressed they admit it’s just for the “joy” of being a piece of shit.
Unfortunately, I've had run-ins with legitimate shitheads of this variety. At least some are sincere.
ugh. sorry to hear that.
For decent folks that’s a distinction without a difference. Or at least it can be treated as one. I don’t give a fuck if someone is genuinely a holocaust denier, or if they’re just being “edgy,” either way they’re a piece of shit.
The only way to satisfy your curiosity is to go down an extremely depressing rabbit hole. Modern politics makes my explanation more difficult to get across without risking a ton of other baggage, but if we can set that aside for just a moment: A depressing amount of people across history are very willing to believe the most stupid, heinous shit about and around the Jewish people.
