But when you rent something out, you also no longer have the right to deprive the renter of it (for some pre-specified period of time), in much the same way as your own usage is limited.

The troll could also be his own lawyer, or basically subsidised by him to "bring him work".

I guess I dont expect anything of this impact to be vulnerable in a well understood way that basically anyone could exploit, else it would be down a lot more often. And even if you think the window might close, then gain from doing it like this, even if youre never found out, is ~zero. I doubt those triggers are worth pulling any time before the "enemy has a war economy" stage.

Generally, a hack of this extent and visibility cannot be easily repeated with the same methods once its done - even if youre openly hostile towards the states in question, there needs to be a reason why its used now.

the right never does are simply selective perception
Nah. We all know the issues where the right can make gains and where not, its extremely predictable, and the fact that the typical categorisation of left and right also includes issues where they do have a chance is not actually relevant.

I was going to tell you you need a double backslash to make the figure work, but for reasons I dont understand that makes both the underscores disappear, and you actually need 3. (It makes sense that they are gone: they cursive the part in between. And it makes sense that one backslash would turn it off and they are there then. But they are there at 0 backslashes also) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Given that he still has the option of turning himself in to ICE for that great "escape plan", this seems rather implausible.

Unfortunately it appears they made a mistake and accidentally sent an internal letter
I think thats the second or third time were seeing this specific kind of leak in the new Trump administration.

the Holocaust mythos is the bedrock of Western slave morality
Slave morality is not the belief that you are guilty, its a standard of good and evil. This is usually communicated together with the holocaust story (as well as elsewhere), not because of a logical dependence but because both are needed functionally to get to the "you are guilty" point.
Now, if someone is very invested in the idea that the germans actually passed that standard, and the jews are the evil oppressive ones, then I think he believes in slave morality. Its certainly possible to be a holocaust denier who considers it important in the purely tactical way you outlines above, but that just isnt the impression I have of them, and yes you do know what I mean. (You personally are far from the worst on that front, but it does still seem to be there)

But it's not edgy at all.
The edgy thing is saying that youre any kind of holocaust denier even when its entirely unnecessary to communicate your position. They are the same picture indeed; I just disagree that anyone is fooled in the way you say, and thats so obvious that it cant have been the intent.
It's true that "this is like the lead-up to WWII" is often invoked, but that is always invoked as a nod to the Holocaust
A tightly coupled package is not "all about" the one piece that you love to talk about. Certainly the uses against Putler recently have no even pretend connection to killing jews.
the way that a religio-cultural narrative can shape not only the moral narrative of a society but radically change the genetic fabric of a civilization within a single generation.
That part at least Im fairly sure can be understood independently. And... look, you have all these smart sounding reasons why its important to talk about holocaust denialism, but youve seen a lot of it, the people writing it and their emotional emphasis etc, and I think you understand why it seems like slave morality to me - so, why isnt it?
If its not about whats right, then in what sense do you want an alternative? In a purely conceptual sense, denying any ownership rights is an alternative.
