It means don't go all Deutscherkenntnis für Anfänger: Teil 1 on the thread and pretend that words like "liquidierien" somehow need to be interpreted as "evacuate" unless you're prepared to go to the mats with me on the etymology and meaning of German vocabulary, because I spent enough time learning it not to fall for your polyanna "holocaust is a cultural misunderstanding / translation error" bullshit. I spent way too much time living in Germany, working in German, and submitting college term papers in German, and grading other people's bad German, to fall for this kind of switcheroo. What you're saying is naive to the point of idiocy; when you watch the mobster movies and the mobsters talk about "taking care of someone", do you think they're home health aides?
Oh really Stan?
What is German for evacuate?
What is the meaning of the English word liquidate?
What is German for deportation?
It's now emotional manipulation to open a German to English dictionary and show you that your pretend definitions of what certain German words mean are not, actually, what those words mean? Am I supposed to believe you instead of my lying eyes?
Big papa C. Mattogno is gaslighting you by pretending that the words "gas tight door" somehow don't mean "gas tight door", so why are you angry at me?
Its Thomas Dalton I've been quoting here actually.
See part 1 as given above and now below.
Somehow we're not disagreeing on what "textual analysis" means, although you're living in some candyland reality where all the evidence we have towards Hitler's state of mind, including the numerous times he comes right out and says the Jews are needing to be destroyed, somehow shouldn't be considered when we're reading the fucking Wannsee Minutes.
Were you bad at school? Cause I'm getting the sense that you're not that good at critical reading or critical thinking.
How is "he comes right out and says the Jews are needing to be destroyed" count as actual textual analysis?
OK why? Why does a building marked "Leichenkammer" on most of its blueprints need a gas-tight door? It doesn't.
For delousing.
If the correspondence between the Nazi top brass proves your point, then why did you tell me it doesn't count and I have to disregard it yesterday evening? Pick a lane, bro
The camp officials are the Nazi top brass now?
I'm making up direct quotes from Goebbel's diary now? I made it up when Josef Goebbels wrote this?
This has been addressed already. You're just too lazy to read what you're given. Another naughty boy.
To quote Dalton part 1,
Is there a clear difference between (a) many dying from disease, exposure, lack of medical care, periodic shootings, etc, and (b) all dying in a complex and systematic gassing operation?
Please explain to the class how I was able to fabricate this diary entry in a text discovered more than half a century before I was born. While you're at it, I'd like the textual-analytic explanation for what Goebbels does mean in this passage if he's not talking about killing Jews like cattle. Or is this another act of malicious translation to railroad poor old Hitler?
Stanly,
Stanley.
To quote Dalton part 1, since you refuse to read articles I give you;
There is no doubt that concentrating and deporting thousands or millions of people in wartime would lead to many deaths. But this is not genocide.
The next entry (after the one you quote) is telling:
Dec 18, 1941 (II.2.533-534)
I speak with the Führer regarding the Jewish Question. He is determined to take consistent action and not be deterred by bourgeois sentimentality. Above all, the Jews must leave the Reich (aus…heraus). We discuss the possibilities for especially clearing out (räumen) Berlin as quickly as possible. Objections are sure to be raised here—from the Four Year Plan, from the Economics Ministry—because about 13,000 Jews are employed in the armaments industry in Berlin; but, with some good will, they can be replaced by Bolshevik prisoners of war. In any case we will tackle this problem as soon as possible, especially when we have the transport capacity to move this body of people. Berlin cannot count as absolutely consolidated as long as Jews are living and working in the capital. Besides, the bourgeois Schlappmeier has ever-new excuses to save the Jews. Earlier it was Jewish money and influence; now it is the Jewish workers. German intellectuals and elite have no anti-Jewish instinct at all. Their vigilance is not sharp. It is therefore necessary that we solve this problem, since it is likely that, if it remains unsolved, it will lead to the most devastating consequences after we are gone. The Jews should all be pushed off (abgeschoben) to the East. We are not very interested in what becomes of them after that. They have wished this fate upon themselves, they have started the war, and they must now pay the price\.
“We are not very interested in what becomes of them after that.” Harsh and brutal, perhaps, but clearly far less than genocide.
This is what happens Larry, you refuse to read all 29 volumes of his diary. Which is understandable. But then you also refuse to read anything else.
Would any of our 7-9 Holocaust denying friends care to give some contextual analysis to Hitler’s words? When he says “the day of reckoning has come”, what does that mean? Can you really say that when Hitler says “we are going to destroy the Jews”, the verb he uses (zerstoeren) somehow doesn’t mean “destroy” without lying to yourselves? When Hitler said in 1922 that he wanted to build gallows in Munich (“as many as traffic allows” and “indiscriminately” hang Jews there and leave them until their bodies stink, why is it a reach to infer he wouldn’t have wanted and approved of the Final Solution?
Do you see why I regard your Nazi LARP as an offense to truth, reason, and history? These quotes are fully, exhaustively attested, so we know Hitler said these things. But you all would try to pilpul these statements into meaninglessness and gaslight everyone about the intentions Hitler and his inner circle had towards the Jews from the very beginning.
1. Oh no! A day of reckoning!
2. What does destroy mean? To de-struct?
3. Is that the most criminal and influential Jews or every man woman and child? Did you record this? And this is Gerald Fleming telling us this right?
4. It's a reach because there is neither speech, diary entry, budget, plan, order, mechanism, technical theory or subsequent bodies of gassed jews anywhere in all Europe.
5. I can see why you're confused if that's what you mean. After all, you're basically imbecilic in your argumentation. Most people agree with this here.
