I don't have any strong feelings or opinions about the holocaust in particular, as opposed to any of the other multiple genocides and atrocities humanity has committed over the ages, or even just the assorted hundreds of millions of deaths from war, famine, disease, etc. They all suck, but I see no reason to get more emotional about one specific event than any of the others.
I get that it's especially sensitive for many people because they feel connected to the event via personal, family or national ties. None of those apply to me. How strongly do YOU feel about the Crusades, which were very much an attempted genocide? Chances are, you don't, because it's just not culturally relevant.
The crusades were atrocities in my opinion. Straight up racism made manifest under the guise of religion.
Yep. So was the holocaust. But at least for me, it's an intellectual outrage, nothing that works up my emotions. Apparently to some people, that's unacceptable.
Right well that would be an opinion. Do you really not see how your comment may have come off as nasty?
Possibly. Is that on the level of getting permabanned, though?
100% it makes you sound like a complete POS to be honest.
If you can read about the Holocaust and not feel any emotion that does seem pretty fucked up.
I said no STRONG emotion, go back to my post 2 levels up. Like, I'm not about to sit there and start crying, I'm just not an emotional guy. Is that now a crime?
actually what you said was
it's not a crime. but you know lemmy isn't a court of law right? you sound like an asshole.
whether it deserves a ban I guess that depends on the context.
You also said no opinion. It being bad is an opinion. So saying you have no opinion sounds harsh.
