*30 million Russians killed by fascists.

Do you think the allies over exaggerated the holoucast to gain support for the war?

This and topic are two different questions.

What if everything you've learned was fabricated and all the images were photoshopped and all the videos were videoshopped
How do you even know what's real
What if your perception of reality is being controlled by someone or something without you knowing

Morpheus?

This is a truly radical notion

trolling or just ironic?

This is already happening to an extent. Free will doesn't exist and your atoms just exist and do what the do and you pretty much everything you are is just a result of biological processes.

You just have the illusion of choice/control of what you do and who you are.

While I am inclined to agree with you, I am almost asked to remind you... (prove it?)

If we are sentient, and we are made up of, to quote Carl Sagan "star stuff" then is it not within the realm of possibility that stars may be conscious?

I have reason to suspect that even plants are aware of themselves and their environment to a degree. (arguably a form of consciousness)

Pretty sure it was actually Jewish communists that lead to the millions of Russians that ultimately perished.

Inb4 someone calls me a bigot/anti-semite/etc...

The holocaust is nothing but war propaganda. There are some interesting documentaries on the subject, and if you have the integrity to actually look into the validity of the Holocaust, you won't find a whole lot of evidence supporting it. No one denies that bad things happened during that time period, bad things happened to everyone. But a systematic extermination of the Jews is factually inaccurate.

My personal opinion on the matter is that Holocaust is a tool to suck all the air out of the room when discussing WW2. I look back on my own education and I feel that the Holocaust was the main topic studied when it came to WW2. But there are many important lessons to be learned from WW2 that are purposefully hidden from us, and that is the success that was Nazi Germany. A ethno-nationalist nation which strived to make the country, and it's people, the best they could be was a very powerful force. Issuing labor based currency and disregarding debt backed currency helped Germany pull itself up to be the wealthiest nation in Europe after being economically crippled.

They proved to the world just how evil and taxing the currency system truly is. They also stood up and said that the German People, who share a common blood, should be in control of their own destiny. Germany for the Germans! It is such a simple, beautiful, and novel idea that I am amazed that this sentiment is not brought up more often. That idea is a big no-no because so many financiers operate on an international level and wish to exploit countries. They can not allow nations to start kicking them out, and that is exactly what Germany did. They were striving to raise up their country and their people, to make things better.

THAT is the lesson we need to learn from Nazi Germany. Next time you're standing in line at McDonalds inside of a Wal-Mart, just take a second to look around and ask yourself if we could do just a little bit better.
