People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Hitler killed on the order of 6M people. This would be an order of magnitude worse, to put it into context.

Well the nazis killed way more than 6M people, that figure refers specifically to Jews in the Holocaust. In total it was way more people - but yes, 65M would be on a whole nother level

21m excess deaths directly attributable to Hitler's policies.

The Heritage Foundation wants to make that look like a joke. 258,000,000 deaths. Trump got 1m from COVID-19 alone.

No. The Holocaust was 6 million Jews. There were plenty more Slavs, Poles, gays, disabled (mentally and physically), political prisoners, etc. Hard to get numbers as everything you read is focused on Jews, which were indeed the majority.

With that vote yesterday there's estimates that they've already doubled that.
