    Why are the so many people on this site white washing Nazis? It seems so concetrated here.

      I’m very curious about what it is that you think the word “whitewash” means.

        I googled it after reading your comment cause I realized I didn’t actually know what it meant.

        There were a few definitions but I’m guessing this is the one the person you’re replying to meant:

        “deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something).”

        Idk why they thought someone calling out Nazis for spending resources on the Holocaust up until the very end meant that people are whitewashing Nazis though.

      Sorry, what? Are you saying that this comment about the holocaust makes the Nazis look… better?

        More like equating the holocaust to bad medical care is trying to make the holocaust look better. Im exergeratting of course, but im hate when people call everything nazi.

          I didn’t “equate” anything. I said that one thing reminds me of another.
