In other words, it’s not about debating with Nazis or anything like that. It’s about cozying up to them and licking their jackboots. Not that “Holocaust denier” and “Nazi” are synonymous, in any case. ---

Wouldn’t be that surprised if there were a Holocaust denier who was not actually a Nazi. Based on a happy state of ignorance, since I don’t know anyone who fits either category. ---

> [@Derleth](#): > > You insist upon drawing a distinction between Holocaust deniers and Nazis. > > Gee, I wonder why. Some Nazis are proud of the Holocaust and don’t bother denying it. And there are whole groups of people who deny the Holocaust besides Nazis. Neither of these are obscure facts to anybody with half a brain and minimal political awareness. I can see how that might exclude you, but don’t project your intellectual failings my way with whatever weird veiled hinting you’re doing. Got something to say, say it, motherfucker. Or, you know, take up my original suggestion and fuck off. ---

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad) is a Holocaust denier and certainly not a Nazi; he’s anti-Semitic. ---

Yelling “Trolling Times Are Here Again!” at the top of its lungs. You have to admire the OP there. It’s all perfectly fine and then, right at the end, it’s suddenly “Oh dear, I appear to have accidentally dropped my bucket of poison down your well. Oopsie!” ---

> [@Mr.Miskatonic](#): > > Yeah, I’m not a psychologist, but this kinda screams untreated schizophrenia to me. We’ve had some schizophrenic delusional posts on here before. They are usually not that coherent. They make tons of connections that only make sense to them. Not sure if they’re a troll or not yet, though. Conspiracy theorists who are convinced they have proof something happened do exist. I do think pretending to be one would be a good troll strategy, but I didn’t see a blatant troll tell yet. You do have to be careful to distinguish between profoundly irrational people and trolls. Simply making an extremely flawed argument is not enough alone to identify trolling. It needs to be done in a way that would piss a reasonable person off, or which plays on the known hot buttons of the target audience. ---

Yeah, not schizophrenic. Just a sad, weak excuse for a person who’s desperate to have secret knowledge that gives some control over a sad, weak excuse for a life.
