This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I believe that SS's claim is that these people starved to death because logistics broke down late in the war and they didn't get sufficient food.
What I want him to explain is why prisoners of war didn't suffer similarly high casualty rates (or vice versa, why Jews didn't have much lower casualty rates like the prisoners of war), because if the cause was a shortage of food, rather than deliberate actions to cause Jews to die, then one would expect similar food shortages for all prisoners and thus similar casualty rates.
Furthermore, his narrative would logically mean that almost all of these deaths would have happened very late in the war, because it would be absurd to argue that the Nazis fought for years without enough food. So then the Nazis would suddenly end up with huge piles of bodies. We know that these were not found by the liberating soldiers. They found very limited numbers of dead bodies at the camps, not millions of them.
So I want SS to explain how the Nazis were able to make those bodies disappear, and how such a solution is possible logistically. Because the way I see it, this would require a narrative that is way more unbelievable than that the Nazis murdered the Jews and cremated the bodies, over a much longer period of time.
It is not the case that millions of Jews died in these camps and the Germans made all their bodies disappear- from death of any cause. Auschwitz registered the deaths of 69,000 prisoners (the plurality were Catholic) from 1941 - 1943. The mainstream historians are the ones claiming millions died in these camps and the Germans made their bodies disappear.
Revisionist estimates of mortality in these camps is derived from German documentation. The overall camp death toll, including Jews and non-jews was, IIRC, somewhere around 275,000 over the entire war- mostly due to typhus and catastrophic conditions near the end of the war. The notion that ~3 million Jews died in these camps and their bodies were disappeared by the Germans, never to be found, is the mainstream historical claim and not the Revisionist claim.
Your intuition is correct that it is outlandish to think the Germans could make millions of bodies from these camps just disappear, they couldn't and they didn't.
Yet very large numbers of Jews did not return after WW 2, so where did they go, if they were not murdered?

Yep. I second all those questions. @SecureSignals , please answer them as best you can. The longer you fail to do so, the harder it is to take your arguments halfway seriously.
