https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Benjamin

"Owen Benjamin Kares Troy-Smith (born May 24, 1980), known professionally as Owen Benjamin, is an American white supremacist,[1] Holocaust denier,[2] conspiracy theorist,[3] internet personality, as well as a far-right and alt-right Neo-Nazi.[4]"

But the bluesky account is dunking on Owen.

Oh wow. Imagine having a whole Wikipedia article dedicated to how terrible of a person you are?

The worst part? We will all die, forgotten to history and this fucker is going to be archived for all time. Admittedly as a piece of shit, but still.

Dude probably wrote it himself with pride.

What I love is the list of citations, cos it's not libelous if its true

I think the claim that he has a personality might be somewhat dubious. He kind of sounds like the sort of person who's entire basis for being is Twitter

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I'm confused. He denies the Holocaust but is a Nazi? Does that mean he thinks the Nazis couldn't do it? Didn't do it?

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.de 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Didn’t do it?

This one. They claim the holocaust never happened, and the Allied Forces only invented the holocaust as a way to paint the Nazis as barbaric monsters as a means to break any remaining support for the Nazi's "righteous cause".

Probably "didn't happen" because "jews still exist", kinda like climate change deniers saying the stupidest nonsense

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

The absolute worst stains on humanity know how to spin awful things like this, on demand. Pick any half-plausible excuse out of a hat, then double down with logical fallacies and end on an emotional gut punch or challenge to the "other side's" values. This obligates the other party to swat down all the fallacies and factual inconsistencies, letting you retaliate with even more trash. Yanno, arguing in bad faith 101. Bonus points if you never repeat an argument - consistency is for chumps.

Sounds like a non-believer to me. Get him, boys!

[–] NIB@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Holocaust didnt happen but the jews deserved it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait so is there a difference between far right and alt right I thought they were all just pseudonyms for neo-Nazi

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

They are. The differences are just for the uniforms.
