Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

I have read quite a bit of literature on the Holocaust from both the revisionist and exterminationist perspectives. I've also read some debates between figures from both sides most notably Zundel vs. Nizkor. Do I believe radical anti-Semites were capable of slaughtering Jews on an industrial scale? Yes. Do I think they did it in the way usually described? Possibly not.
I do think the exterminationists tend to get the better of the debates though and their side has the real scholars. I don't think there is a single revisionist with a history doctorate for example. But of course to some extent the development of a more solid revisionist cohort has been impeded by criminalizing and impugning it. If Germans were permitted to investigate their own history I suspect they'd deal the approved narrative more compelling blows.
This post is already getting too long but the takeaway is that I'm basically indifferent on the topic and even question how important it is. If that helps.
