I’m pretty sure he just has a problem with the way you presented the numbers in your first reply.
You say a big chunk of 50% were LGBT. Even if we take you numbers and not his 15,000 of 6,000,000 is effectively a rounding error, not 50%. That’s why he is saying the Holocaust is a Jewish thing. To me his comment didn’t read like he was trying to minimize anything.
Only if you assume that 15k number was every single LGBTQ person in the 12 million.
Like, you all are aware that a person could be in multiple demographics that were targeted…
Right?
If you were openly LGBTQ, you stood out as a target. But you may have been officially sent to the camps under another label.
So yes, 15k out of 12 million isnt a lot.
But saying the other 11,985,000 were 100% heterosexual just seems a little ridiculous, right?
Just normal variation, there’s gonna be a few.
But also wouldn’t you assume that a lot of LGBTQ people were also aligned with leftwing political parties who were prioritized as targets over everyone else.
Like, just slow down for a second and think it thru
Yes, but you said “a big chunk of that 50%” first. There is no way in hell that half of the people genocided in the Holocaust were LGBT. That would be the largest cluster of homosexuals in history. That is the problem with your original comment. Assuming half of the people are gay is asinine.
