There are four interesting genocides of the 20th century that I like to read about/listen to podcasts about.
The Armenian Genocide (1915)
The German Nazi Holocaust (1941-1945)
The Cambodian Genocide (1975-1979)
The Rwandan Genocide (1994)

Obviously there were many others and ones ongoing today like in Myanmar, but these four are the ones I know most about.

Interesting thing is despite taking place in radically different cultures with radically different ideologies they share some weird common themes. All four saw the ideal citizen as the pure blooded rural peasantry as the racial bedrock of nation against a more urban pen pushing middle or upper middle class.

>The German Nazi Holocaust (1941-1945)
Never happened. If your idea of "studying" involves slurping down commercialized blood libel propaganda from people who hate you, then you're wasting your (and everyone's) time.

I am happy to consume a diverse range of historical views and I have read some of the work on David Irving (arrested for Holocaust denial) who argues that the killings were not mass orchestrated and came from the peripheries/mostly died of starvation.

Some of his arguments are interesting.

However if your only argument is ‘not real because Jews bad’ then this is just shit you have picked up and regurgitated from /Pol/.

If you are interested in serious history revisionism about the Holocaust then sure present some evidence and ideas.

Anyway the holocaust isn’t the most interesting atrocity - Rwanda and Cambodia internet me more.

>Anyone who doesn't believe what I believe is a /pol/ tourist
10 years of this shit

There is a thread for history, for politcs, and crime.

I don't think "Genocide Studies" is a hobby seperated enough from existing threads to justify a thread on it's own, and doubt it will support enough discussion on it's own to thrive.
Hell, the history and crime threads only get a average of a couple of post a month.

>>68485
Wrong. Thinking something like that does not make you a Pol tourist. Thinking something like that and not giving reasons/making arguments makes you a person parroting ideas without thought.

>>68487
Alright then, you are regurgitating /leftypol/ talking points on account of the fact that you didn't provide and evidence, reasoning, or arguments for "The German Nazi Holocaust of 1941-1945" actually happening.

>>68493
leftypol largely doesn't exist anymore.
Your attempt at a
>but you are
argument is transparent and sad.

If you want to claim one of the most well documented events in modern history didn't happen at all then you are going to need more than just regurgitated talking points.
The burden of proof is on you dude.

be honest, you were asking for holocaust denial shit when you made this thread

>>68486 is right

>I have always thought that beneath the veneer of human civility and empathy, most humans are under certain conditions capable of psychopathic acts of cruelty.
Glad to see someone with similar views on this topic as I do. I find it very interesting that genocide isn't something "that just happens after society completes 10 stages of genocide". Rather it happens naturally during interethnic conflicts, and we usually see similar patterns of behaviour emerge every time. I would even argue it is somewhat evolutionary conserved.

Viewing genocide as a natural social phenomenon rather than "this one time when my political boogeyman of choice killed a lot of people" would greatly improve public conciousness. That's because thinking it is tied to any particullar group of people, or that it is "barbaric practice" that can be eradicated by adding "Schindler's List" into school curriculums or having weaker national identity, make one think he would never act like this and that it can't happen here.

Unfortunately talking about things like these with normies and expecting them to be neutral is impossible.

the white genocide that is going right now is pretty interesting.

low white birthrates plus mass immigration and the coverup of immigrant violent crime

persecution of anyone who speaks up about it

It's ashaming how wizards spens so much on the computer yet still take the slop of muh holohaox

>>68908
The system allowing it is and was supported by the very same normies whose defeat you do lament now.

>>68910
Please explain without using memes.

>>68909
Go back to /pol/ and keep posting infographics why everything (You) dislike was made by da Joooos

>>68916
>Jews criticized, gotta fire up that keyboard to defend them
Genocide yourself so we can study it

>>68916
Such stupid rabble, /pol/ is the center of awareness about that.
>>68919
Boom! xDDD

">All four saw the ideal citizen as the pure blooded rural peasantry as the racial bedrock of nation against a more urban pen pushing middle or upper middle class."

Very interesting, I wonder why that is, sounds like some Jordan Peterson tier stuff.

I also like reading on genocides and famines, Eastern Europe is a goldmine for that kind of stuff.

Here's some further reading, famines are so fucking common throughout history, it happened almost every year somewhere in the world.

Look at the Ukrainian genocide, it's like nature itself has decided that ukrianians are to be done away with

If their men aren't being kidnapped and sent to the meat grinder one by one, their succubi are mixing with browns and breeding themselves out of existence, it's interesting to watch

It seems almost fateful, the only lesson I can take away from it is that a nation divided is as good as conquered, if the ukranian military would've grouped together to do away with the puppet regime they'd have had a chance at survival

>>68932
There is no survival when you're next to Russia

>>68932
Yep and when the wars over their government is going to decide that millions of brown people are going to need to immigrate to save their economy

>>68936
Yep I can tell it's the blueprint of destruction for all western nations
