Not that I fully disagree, but: 5 years later it seems, the backlash is just happening? (Biden's "too soft" stance has lead to Trump making REmigration a thing, worse than it was for .... ever in my lifetime.)
Also, from a German perspective: the "vertigo" (book recommended by Tyler Cowen) of Weimar*s *extreme' progressivism ended with gays in concentration camps - and the full "Jewish emancipation" (wikipedia: 'the process in various nations in Europe of eliminating Jewish disabilities, to which European Jews were then subject, and the recognition of Jews as entitled to equality and citizenship rights.[ It included efforts within the community to integrate into their societies as citizens. It occurred gradually between the late 18th century and the early 20th century') ... , "backlash" is a rather soft word for the horrors of Auschwitz and other Vernichtungslager (annihilation-camps).
(Of course, me and TC would always have argued for women's rights, gay rights, and emancipation - somewhat. ... )
On the sunny side: Everyone who favors more liberal immigration laws than we have IS ON OUR SIDE! So, be happy Tyler is on our pro-immigration side. And convince those who are not. (As Caplan tries - see his wonderfully drawn "Open borders". )
The concentration camps were more a symptom of a war going south than purely of tightening of racial policies. The great majority of inmates were NOT Jewish - or gay.
well, I tried to *not* mix-up "KZs for political prisoners" - KZ Dachau opened just 2 months after Hitler was in power - and those Extermination camps " Nazi Germany used six extermination camps (German: Vernichtungslager), also called death camps (Todeslager), or killing centers (Tötungszentren), in Central Europe, primarily in German-occupied Poland, during World War II to systematically murder over 2.7 million people—mainly Jews—in the Holocaust."
Neither gays nor German Jews (many of them christian or atheist) posed a threat to Hitler's rule. "backlash" - is probably not be the best explanation, but it is not a completely ridiculous one. See also USofA 2026.
Good try(s). You're NOT wrong. Vernichtungslager, Todeslager, Tötungszentren, although in the German language, were terms used ONLY by propagandists trying to paint a false (or exaggerated) picture of the Lager.
Direct quotes from wikipedia. I did my degree in history at a German university, and I do not see this quote as 'propaganda' or in any way misleading (unlike some other topics at 'wokepedia' ). Just in case you plan a visit: Holocaust-denial is an offence in Germany, for better or worse. Can lead to prison. But while you are not: Which tenured historians in other countries deny the holocaust? And just imagine: the deniers might actually be wrong - is denial of murder somewhat an insult to the victims, the survivors, and their families? Somewhat kinda yes, it seems to me - as in K. Good and Alex Pretti - though the one was 'disrespectful' and the other was armed. Unlike Edith Stein or Anne Frank.
Nun, welche deutsche Universität? I know a veteran of German prisons for Rassenhassverbreitung, usw. JAHRENLANG. Germar Rudolph. Yes, I know him personally.
Here as elsewhere, Wikipedia is spreading propaganda.
Historians who express doubts about Holocaust history LOSE their tenure (Finkelstein, Kollerstrom, etc.). Ergo, NO tenured professors (can) do this. Ya got me: fringe!
Well, Finkelstein had no tenure nor did Germar Rudolf (not ph), (zwei Jahre - not "jahren" lang Gefängnis). You are sure, Finkelstein denies the Holocaust? If not, maybe re-think. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Kollerstrom oh, lol, yes, lunatic fringe, indeed.
"Worse than the enormous harms of the immigration restrictions already on the books? Highly unlikely"
This post did NOT age well.
I know this is an old post, but thank you for not being afraid to stick to your views here, in spite of the obvious backlash risk.

Yes, USofA 2026 for sure.
