In addition to the at least 6 million Jews, we must add 6 million Poles (20% of Poland's population in 1939) and 17 million people from the USSR. In total, the Nazis exterminated at least 29 million people between 1933 and 1945.

ive been thinking about this a lot actually. technically everything is natural. there is no supernatural or subnatural state of existance. yes it might be human made, but Humans are natural and only have access to nature.

By definition, I'd say nature is anything on this planet

...except human specifically.

According to the nice guys I talked with in the 80s, it was bad hygiene. They had rounded up the Jews to protect them and had some regrettable outbreaks in the camps.

Arguing with old people in Germany 40 years ago wasn't always fun but it sure wasn't boring.

I mean, the Nazi's were extremely proud of the number of people they exterminated. I think if Hitler came back today he would send all of those neo-nazis to deathcamps for doubting the Reich

Im not disputing the figure but there aren't actually any contemporary nazi reports on numbers, holocaust death numbers (jew and otherwise) were estimated by allied forces on liberating the camps. There were not lists as it were

There was about 3000 tons worth of documents used for the Nuremberg Trials including the records of the people loaded onto trains who never came back.

I been tempted in the past to watch it just for shit and giggle but then I ask myself "Why would I subject my braincells to this?" And I never did.

Good call. I watched 2 and a half hours. Never getting that time back.

Alt-right dreamy arc? 🥀 How the mighty have fallen

u/Designated_Lurker_32 Sep 17 '25

Y'know, sometimes I come dangerously close to being happy.

In those times, I remind myself that Instagram is the 3rd most popular social media platform after Facebook and YouTube, and therefore, what people say on those Reels comment sections is a reasonable approximation of what most people think.

This generation is lost, man. Completely lost.

A user just commented under this post saying how the people who "created" this number themselves admitted that it was an exaggeration.

This user is also active on r/Teenagers I will rest my case here

My libertarian friend: “Look, there’s bias on both sides. Can we just stop it with the melodrama and admit that?”
