    If someone denies the existence of the WW2 Holocaust people come out of the woodworks to publicly tell them that they are wrong. At this point we collectively agree that believing that is idiotic.

    The massacre on the Tiananmen Square, which my phone apparent doesn’t even have in its dictionary, is something being actively denied by a major world government. It’s a topic that the corporations that run a lot of or information exchange infrastructure are trying to avoid mentioning.

    I think it’s that active avoidance of the topic that rubbs people the wrong way. And we all like to poke fun of people who are delusional.

    Oh and also Holodomor. Until my old country started to roll tanks into Ukraine people on the internet kept telling me how I’m wrong and it didn’t happen. They they’d say that it was actually a logistics issue. How do you accidentally kill millions of people through starvation when it’s those same people that are producing the food to begin with? At least now we all agree that Holodonor existed.
