Grotesque trivialization of the Holocaust by WELT (translated)

Julius Betschka 2w

Julius Betschka described the text as exceptional and stated that he lacked the words for it. He had previously assumed that at least the leadership of the Left believed in their own trivialization. Now it seems they are recognizing the danger, but apparently no longer dare to take action. https://t.co/w4psn27ziK #Politik #Gesellschaft #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

Helmut Brandstätter MdEP 3w
Austrian journalist and politician

The author asked a lawyer how to assess people who, according to his depiction, trivialized National Socialism and intended to commit violence. He also requested their evaluation. (translated)

Die Maske ist bei der Jungen Union mit der Gleichsetzung von Nationalsozialismus und der Linkspartei endgültig runter. So eine Verharmlosung der Nazi-Verbrechen ist nicht nur geschichtsvergessen, sondern offen rechtsradikal.

Steffan Nethe 3w

Steffan Nethe wrote that the historic Town Hall of Limoges, built in 1883, was burning while people cheered and sneered. The building had survived two world wars unscathed; Nethe blamed leftist destructive fury for its destruction and described the incident as a sign of the decline and loss of control of Western civilization. He accused European politics of passively watching the destruction of cultural heritage and the endangerment of public safety. He wrote that anyone who downplays or ignores the events is gradually giving up their homeland and history. #KulturErbe #Zivilisation #Limoges (translated)

Ansgar Schledde Oct 9

Ansgar Schledde explained that in the local elections in the Hannover region, more than 3,000 outer ballot envelopes were opened prematurely in 14 out of 20 surrounding municipalities. He regarded this as a systematic violation of §59 of the Lower Saxony Municipal Election Code. The envelopes should have remained unopened and sealed; instead, ballots with the names and addresses of the voters became visible and were repackaged. The votes were then counted without verification, Schledde wrote. The procedure was ordered by the regional election office via email and was only stopped by the state election director four days before the election. Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) commented cautiously on the incident; supposedly, no impact on the election result was to be expected, criticized Schledde. He supported the objection of Bundestag member Dirk Brandes and announced a complete clarification as well as a legal examination. For the state elections in 2027, postal voting documents must be designed to prevent manipulation, and the rules must be adhered to. Those who violate the election regulations must face consequences, Schledde wrote. https://t.co/uzZye3DAPi #Wahlen #Demokratie #Niedersachsen (translated)

Sarah Maria Sander Oct 7
German journalist

Sarah Maria Sander wrote that Hamas terrorists murdered men, women, and children on October 7, 2023, raped people, abducted them, and burned them alive. Entire families were wiped out, children were made orphans, and 251 people were taken as hostages to Gaza. A video tells the stories of some of these families and represents the horror that has shaken Israel. Sander referred to any trivialization of the massacre as a moral bankruptcy. https://t.co/3EItflXhaV #Israel #Hamas #Menschenrechte (translated)

Dr. Gunter Link Oct 6

Dr. Gunter Link wrote that the program "Monitor" is not a satire with immunity. He accused it of inciting hatred and trivializing National Socialism and the Holocaust, and criticized that it is funded by compulsory fees. In his opinion, those responsible should be prosecuted and the program should be discontinued. If the supervisory bodies of WDR did not act accordingly, they too should be held accountable for a violation of their official duties, wrote Link. He also called for the abolition of the GEZ. #GEZabschaffen #Volksverhetzung #Nationalsozialismus #WDR (translated)

Kolja Barghoorn Oct 6
German YouTuber

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that demonstrators recognized him that day in the cathedral square in Magdeburg and repeatedly called him a "Nazi." Hearing the shouts up close had a different effect than reading them on the internet. Barghoorn interpreted such labels as a sign of a lack of historical understanding and a moral abyss. He referred to a visit to Sachsenhausen during his school years and to his visit this year to the House of the Wannsee Conference. There, he saw the organizational chart of the Nazis and traced how systematically they had planned the persecution and murder of millions of people. Regarding Nazi comparisons made by politicians such as Eva von Angern, Susan Sziborra-Seidlitz, and Ricarda Lang, Barghoorn questioned their historical awareness. Those who emphasize the historical uniqueness of the Holocaust must ask themselves whether the constant use of the term "Nazi" as a political insult is appropriate. Such shouts do not strengthen the awareness of the Nazi era but rather turn its crimes into a political everyday weapon and contribute to their trivialization, he wrote. #Nazis #Politik #Geschichte (translated)

The author wrote that the current situation at the Union shows where a combination of loss of authority, opportunism, and downplaying of right-wing extremists leads. #Politik #Rechtsextremismus #Union #DE (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht Oct 6
German politician (born 1969)

Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the BSW wants to end the "firewall" to the AfD. In her view, the strongest faction in a state parliament should also provide the president of the state parliament; with a voter approval of 44 percent, that is self-evident. This parliamentary normality should no longer be disregarded in relation to the AfD. The BSW had promised a reasonable approach to the AfD and an end to the firewall before the election and is now implementing this, she wrote. Wagenknecht described the comparison of the AfD candidate for the presidency of the state parliament with Hermann Göring as the low point of the debate and as a trivialization of National Socialism. There is no "Göring 2.0" up for election. Anyone who relativizes the greatest crimes committed by Germans in this way has lost all compass, she wrote. #Politik #Landtag #AfD (translated)

This downplaying of a dangerous mental condition as "cool," "hip," or a progressive "coming out" is simply intolerable. (translated)

NS-Zeit Verharmlosung bei Maischberger gibt keine scharfe Kritik, sondern Beifall. Traurig, einfach nur traurig! #NSVerharmlosung #Maischberger #Traurigkeit

Die „Hufeisentheorie“ setzt links- und rechtsaußen gleich. Resultat: Wer bezahlbaren Wohnraum & Armutsbekämpfung fordert, wird mit denen in einen Topf geworfen, die von Gewalt & „Remigration“ reden. Das ist keine Ausgewogenheit, sondern Verharmlosung und Diffamierung. https://t.co/0ZOOrMJuLs #Hufeisentheorie #Wohnraum #Armutsbekämpfung #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.

Natürlich ist der Besuch von Issa Remmo bei der Linkspartei hochpolitisch. Er ist kausale Folge der Verharmlosung der Clan-Kriminalität aus den Universitäten und reichen Kiezen heraus. Ja, es gibt eine berechtigte Debatte über diesen Begriff, wie man über alles diskutieren kann. Das hat aber dazu geführt, dass diese Art Mafia in Berlin unter vielen jungen Menschen, in Medien und bei Linken verharmlost und teils heroisiert wird. In Wahrheit bewaffnen sich die Familien wie nie zuvor, werden gewaltvoller und wagen immer spektakuläre Aktionen (Stichwort Juwelendiebstahl). Die lachen sich kaputt über die Leute, die sie als reine Opfer von rassistischer Polizeiarbeit inszenieren. Wer einmal in diesem Milieu recherchiert hat, vergisst das nicht. Wer die Video der brutalen Baseballschläger-Prügeleien und Schießereien kennt, kann Clan-Kriminalität nicht als Kleinigkeit abtun. Irre, dass man das alles schreiben muss. #ClanKriminalität #Politik #Berlin

Mehr Verharmlosung geht kaum: "Selbst wenn Russland dahinter stecken sollte" (nur knapp gescheiterter Sprengstoffanschlag auf deutschen Flughafen) - die Moskau-Freunde wollen immer noch den Kopf in den Sand stecken und bejammern lieber die maßvolle deutsche Reaktion als #Russland #Terrorismus #München #DE #RU

ZEIT ONLINE Sep 1

Die AfD verfolgt im aktuellen Wahlkampf eine Strategie, die auf Aggressivität und Einschüchterung setzt, wodurch sich eine Haltung durchgesetzt hat, die Distanzierung und Verharmlosung als Schwäche betrachtet und Gewalt als legitimes Mittel einsetzt. #AfD #Wahlkampf #Aggressivität

Die AfD tut staatstragend und harmlos, ist aber tief antisemitisch: Verharmlosung des Holocaust und des Naziterrors, Verschwörungserzählungen über angebliche „globale Eliten“, Hetze gegen Minderheitenrechte.

Bewundernswerte Aufarbeitung in den USA: Enger Fauci-Berater bekennt sich schuldig. Gefährlichkeit der Virenforschung in Wuhan wurde verschleiert. Während in den USA die Ungeheuerlichkeit offengelegt wird ist die Aufklärung in Deutschland ein einziger Skandal der Verharmlosung. #Fauci #Virenforschung #USA #US #DE #CN
