A small town in eastern Germany banned the installation of new Holocaust memorial plaques that mark the last known residence or workplace of Jews and other victims of the genocide.
The motion was proposed by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU)…


Of course not! But thats not the point. You are the only one who used the term “unborn Nazis” which is an implicit statement that “unborn Nazis” can even be a thing that exists. The anti-communist authors (who I agree were sick fucks) derived their numbers in large part from bogus, abstract, potential people, yes, but they never would have claimed those unborn people were Nazis. By phrasing it the way you did, it makes it sound like you’re saying “the people killed by the Soviets were just Nazis and their unborn would-be Nazi children!” Which is a messed up thing to say.
It is a separate issue from the fact that the Black Book authors juiced their numbers with non-existent people. Because even when Nazis do have babies, those babies are not and cannot be “Nazi babies.” If they were, that would imply the ideology of Nazism is an inherited trait and is inherent within even the unborn. Which is wrong and more than a little problematic. And it’s not something the authors, despite all their other lies and bullshit, ever claimed. But sure sounds like something you are claiming, wording it the way you did.
Even if that wasn’t your intent, it is how it sounds. I would bet anything that’s how the mod who removed your comment was reading it too, as it’s a fair conclusion to think that’s what you meant.
I just think it’s important to be careful with our wording when trying to educate clueless and even hostile libs, at the very least to make it much harder for them to lie about us by reporting the heinous things those “tankies” believe.
Thank you, for this. You’re right, of course.
