Why has genocide denial become so commonplace? The Holocaust, Gaza, the Uyghurs, Armenians, even Sudan or Rwanda, every single one has a certain group desperately clawing for any chance to try and prove it didn’t happen

Wild to me that conservatives try to say Gaza isn’t a genocide while thinking white people are being genocided in South Africa

If we want to be clinical using Gregory Stanton’s eight stages of genocide, denial is a part of genocide. I don’t say this flippantly. But denial of genocide is as much a prominent feature as rape is in genocide.

I mean most rational people don’t deny any of these it’s mostly regarding scale and inaccuracies of history writers

Rational people don’t, sure. But I think everyone would agree that rationality is gradually becoming less common

I mean kinda idk if I completely agree like for a long time there’s been people who think everything is at it seems and the government would never lie and to me that’s just as irrational as believing the holocaust is fake. One is just more of a consequential take
