John Williamson: "I know what happened in the holocaust" - I bet you don't, Joey. I bet you've done no personal research and critical thinking on what happened with the german slavecamps of WW2. If you had, you wouldn't use the word "holocaust", nor would you compare the way many pigs really do die to twisted fairytales. By saying something true is like something false, you make the true thing (pigs getting gassed) less real to people, and you are not doing right by those animals.?

L B: I understood what you meant. I too am not sure that the 'Holocaust' has been documented as it actually happened. Please elaborate if you can.?

John Williamson: well, I've already elaborated a bit, the evidence indicates no gas chambers in WW2 slavecamps and total jewish deaths of up to half a million which is comparable to the rates of death of many other groups of people involved at that time. If you look at the current claimed jewish deaths for the Auschwitz slavecamp complex, it is 1.1 million, but up until the 1990s the claimed amount of deaths there was 4 million, for example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties).

But because the whole WW2 holocaust story thing is so emotionally charged, discussions of it tend to distract from the important issue of our time, which is that there is no need to farm other animals and us doing so means untold and unfathomable suffering for our victims, destroys our natural environment, makes many other species go extinct, and ruins people's ability to lead good, healthy lives both physically and psychologically. In general, people need to leave the fears and traumas of the past behind. And it's really seeing things clearly and truthfully with inner empathy that is the way to go. We need to focus on being human, being our real natural herbivorous selves.?
