CD acknowledges that the Holocaust happened, and that it's a bad thing (he's actually made this clear multiple times throughot this thread), and yet he's somehow so ill-informed that, while stopping short of denial, he still repeats many of the same red herrings denialists latch onto completely uncritically. You see why I still occasionally try to talk with him like he should have some degree of common sense.
Not surprising or strange at all. Real Neo-Nazis are glad and proud of the holocaust. They will only deny it or half heartedly admit it might be seen as wrong, when embracing that size of that crime makes it difficult to justify themselves to real people.
His main thrusts are:
1. Nazis are not that bad, liberals ought to sympathize.
2. Attacking commies makes the nazis heroic.
3. Let's say for the sake of argument holocaust happened and is technically wrong, doesn't the sympathy hogging of the Jews afterwards mean they deserved it in the first place?
