I don't want to read Anne Frank in combination with anything uspol going forward or I will go ballistic. it's apparently the only aspect of national socialism taught in US schools or sth.

@kaia Being Dutch and listening to Americans talking Anne Frank has got to be one of the most infuriating things ever.

@yomiel @kaia For starters the version of the diary that most Americans read in school is a heavily edited and censored version.

@sun @SuperDicq @kaia @yomiel the conditioning isnt even that strong, once they start to question it the entire thing falls apart immediately, hence the mandatory pairing with psychotic levels of social pressure to not question it at all.

it’s so tiresome.

@sun @kaia @yomiel Ah yes, just repeating “nazis are the worst thing to ever happen in the history of the world” without any sort of context at all.

@sun @kaia @SuperDicq @yomiel it didnt used to be that way but Israel had a big campaign in the 1970s to make the holocaust become *the* defining thing in american culture. see The Holocaust in American Life and The Holocaust Industry
