    Tbf I haven’t ever met a holocaust denier myself, nor a flat earther, but I’m not going to say “those are just small numbers” or “those people don’t exist” if someone is talking about them.

      I would. It’s statistically true, although holocaust deniers are ticking up due to increased fascism globally.

        Well I guess that is where we differ.

        And yeah, that shit is lame, but they’re still statistically negligible though if that is your metric. I guess though that’s good, rather that than they be statistically dominant.

          Fair enough. I guess you’re not a liar per se, but don’t present it as an equivalence. “Some people believe the holocaust happened, some people don’t” when actually it’s 99.999% the former and 0.001% the latter.

          Sure, maybe there’s a few whackos who wanted to forcibly inject people but they’re a statistical irrelevance so don’t bring them up to support your point.

            Well, my point was that “(I think) those are the people he was talking about,” so they’re kinda the point lol.
