This will trigger people's emotional personalities off the chart, as this topic is wrapped full in sensitive emotionalism. I know some will be exceedingly angry with me, but if you don't know Soldiers by now, who's countercultural to the max, within a couple of threads someone is going to be triggered.
So without further ado.
My question is, why do we put so much on the Holocaust and the torture systems used there when if you put the unstable emotions aside, clear your logic, and look unbiasedly at the event, it was equated to a regular POW camp? Concentration camps existed a century before WWII, and prisons existed as far back as 1000 B.C. And far worse torture methods existed back in medieval times, especially during the Roman Empire era. But we put far more emphasis, emotion, and empathy on 1939-45, while worse has happened and literally nobody gives a crypt.
Here is a post from a different forum that I made on this:
"I AM NOT DEAMEANING THE HOLOCAUST
But if you take the extreme emotionalism factor out of 1939-45, you can see the camps were just classic P.O.W. camps. Even US pow camps from the Japanese or during the civil war were almost as bad as the nazi's. Prisons existed for thousands of years, even going back to 1000 B.C. many of which had far worse conditions than the Nazi concentration camps & prisons.
Torture methods back then far exceeded the torture methods of 1939-1945, especially during the Roman Empire era which had some of the absolutely worse torture methods such as:
asphyxiation
crucifixion
punitive scourging on the back using metal whips filled with broken glass, sharp animal bones, rigid steel blades, (one lash from the aggressive professional executioners can rip out, damage, and even the internal organs and even expose them)
the legendary brazen bull device (which puts you in a bronze, bull-shaped container, which they light a fire under it which you are grilled alive.)
Being fed to intensely-starved lions
Being burned alive
Being boiled alive
Being deep-fried alive
And many other methods far exceed cruelty.
All of this, Christians have faced, and even continue to face (about 52 Christians are killed daily due to hatred measures, that means 364 a week, 1,560 a month, and 18,980 a year. That's the regular days, not including jailing, beating, flogging etc.) but since the world media, doesn't attach heavy emotionalism to it, most people couldn't care less."
So let the floodgates of war and hatred come, I'm ready, but if you lead with your emotions, your only further proving the point of this thread. Try to pause and think logically, take a 1-minute breather, do 20 pushups, 8 jumping jacks, eat some tofu or a watermelon, something!
Alright, peace.
