For example, he parrots tired old Holocaust denial tropes that I was dealing with over 20 years ago. They're the same; they haven't even really evolved with the times, like other conspiracy theories.
I mean, holy hell, He's actually pulling the "Zyklon-B is a delousing agent" Holocaust denial gambit. That's an oldie-moldy denier deception of the dumbest order.
Oh, geez, and he also "concedes" that there were death camps, but then throws up the old denier obfuscation that he's not convinced that this was as a result of an intentional plan to exterminate European Jewry or a plan to eliminate criminals and the infirm.🙄
Great going, @gophawaii, citing a Holocaust denier of the most brain dead sort as a source to back up your viewpoints. Seriously, @GOP, is this how far you've fallen?
I swear, I was dealing with these sorts of Holocaust denial lies 23 years ago. I never thought I'd see a major political party in the US citing people who parrot those same discredited conspiracy theory lies in 2021.🤦♂️
And...trying to outdo @gophawaii for sheer batshit wingnuttery, I give you...@Oregon_GOP! I mean, seriously, they’re calling the Jan. 6 insurrection a false flag operation and comparing it to the Reichstag fire! What say you, @GOP? Do you approve?
This is, of course, the dumbest antimask analogy out there. It betrays utter ignorance of virology and physics gussied up with a false sense of knowledge, so much so that I can feel neurons in my brain apoptosing whenever I see some ignoramus post this brain dead talking point.🙄
In case anyone misses the significance of this image, the “Day of the Rope” is a white supremacist fantasy taken from “The Turner Diaries.” In the novel, it’s the day when white supremacists take over and undertake a mass lynching of “race traitors.” 1/
I first learned about the “Day of the Rope” over 22 years ago, when I was active refuting online Holocaust denial and started learning about the white supremacism and fascism that promoted Holocaust denial. 2/
The Day of the Rope is a disturbingly common image and term in white supremacist circles. They fantasize about it. They discuss how to bring it about. It is an aspirational goal of hard core white supremacists. To see it at the Capitol is beyond disturbing to me. 3/3
And here I bent over backwards not to jump to conclusions that this guy was an antivaxxer. But, of course, he is. I bet he’s full QAnon too. Conspiracy theories kill. tmj4.com/news/local-new…
I’d ask how the hell someone like this got through pharmacy school, but I know there are physicians who somehow got through medical school and have just as poor an understanding of basic cell biology that they belief the same nonsense about #CovidVaccine. respectfulinsolence.com/2020/10/09/mad…
Correct. The filiform needles used for acupuncture now were actually invented around 90 years ago by a Chinese pediatrician named Cheng Dan’an, who also ended the use of astrology to guide needle placement. 1/ respectfulinsolence.com/2019/08/01/acu…
Then, starting in the late 1940s, Chairman Mao retconned the history of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine in order to sell it first to his people, and then to the world. 2/ sciencebasedmedicine.org/retconning-tra…
It's a process that is still going on today, with the Chinese government promoting traditional Chinese medicine to the world. 3/ sciencebasedmedicine.org/traditional-ch…
