Cott,
I beleive that you are (deliberately?) distorting my position. I have stated previously I am NOT a Holocaust denier.
I am however, someone, who is not naive, ignorant, or deliberately apathetic enough to
consider that the grossly disproportional, highly overrepresented power and influence of a tiny minority in the fields of politics & policy, lobbying, law, communication, written, visual, and audio entertainment, higher education, industry, banking, white collar crime, and organized crime, and the highly toxic reactions to this influence and power,
may be more than just sheer coincidence.
Luckily we live in a democracy and we have the right to hold our own opinions.
As long as they're not expressed...look what happens to those who even question certain aspects of the holocaust. Jail, blacklisting, etc.
Is that not sound advice to give to an impressionable youngster? You obviously think not.
where have I suggested or
thought that? I have stated that obviously Herr Schmidt represents an extreme point of view, based on your and Timo's comments about him. I also think that after the first post in the thread that warns Hvm about this was sufficient. I simply asked for someone to tell me what was "wrong" about his alleged views. I don't purport to know if they are "right" or "wrong". But who is the judge? Isn't it sufficient to let others form their own opinions as to how valid or invalid they are?
I can't see HvM launching a pogrom against the Jews of Taipei or shaving his head for the next Stormfront concert if he contacts the man on specifics of his (alleged) WW2 service.
Now, again, I do not wish to violate any forum rules and go into topics that are
verboten here. But, I am leery of those who throw out toxic labels that discourage discourse. And everyone knows that the mere label of someone as a denier, neo-nazi, etc does just that.
I have not attempted to put words or thoughts in anyone else's mouth. Please don't put any in mine, ok?.
