Confession:

I was obsessed with the Holocaust for a number of years as a young woman. I told myself that I was trying to understand what made the Nazis do it, in order to understand the nature of evil and overcome it.

I think I was fooling myself. I think I was participating in a kind of warped virtue signalling exercise. I wanted to be seen as "good," and "being against the Nazis" was the epitome of "being good."

The reason I have seen through my previous folly is that, having come to understand that the holocaust(TM) is a cult religion rather than an historical event, I find coming to terms with what the Bolsheviks did extremely distressful. It is just so awful to read the history.

I used to come away from reading or watching stories about the Holocaust with a twisted sense of moral superiority. But I don't come away from accounts about the Red Terror with the same feeling.

It's interesting how they manage to sell us their bill of goods. Of course, as the consumer of the lies, it's short term gain for long term pain, because it is leading to the complete decimation of our society.

Clear graphs, hilarious political clown parody and a vintage torture porn cartoon - but best of all was your concept to use IMDB as the source for a revisionist index of media propaganda.

But Chinese CheKa in Kiev?

Isn't the reason there's little to no early commentary on Auschwitz other than Nuremberg Trials' mentions because that camp was taken over by the Soviets, so we didn't get the propaganda newsreels that the Brits and Americans showed of Belsen and Dachau?
