Holocaust denial isn't victimless. In fact, I would argue it's far more dangerous than these vaccine hoaxes. "It happened, and therefore it can happen again" is the motto here. It is the singularity of barbarism that has defined politics in Europe and the US ever since; the crown witness against militarism, nationalism, and populism.

> Holocaust denial isn't victimless. I never mentioned holocaust denial... but let's go with that. So long as it never happens again, it's victimless. And because it's not going to happen again (nobody of consequence in any position of authority over govt, the media, or academia is a holocaust denier). Antisemitism certainly has victims, but in any case that's not the same thing as holocaust denialism. > In fact, I would argue it's far more dangerous than these vaccine hoaxes. Are you unaware that children have been dying of measles in ever greater numbers in the developed world due to the anti-vaccine movement? You certainly must be because some hypothetical danger that might occur in the future can't compare to children dying today. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/21/measles-cases-at-highest-for-20-years-in-europe-as-anti-vaccine-movement-grows https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/21/measles-cases-... https://www.cbc.ca/news/thenational/national-today-newsletter-measles-outbreaks-1.4950383 https://www.cbc.ca/news/thenational/national-today-newslette... https://www.livescience.com/64523-anti-vaccine-movement-top-global-threats-who.html https://www.livescience.com/64523-anti-vaccine-movement-top-...
