  And that is different from Social Media of today in what way?

  I trust the AP a hell of a lot more than anything I see on Youtube or Facebook. Fuck, when it comes down to it I trust Fox News more than any social media outlet, mostly because I know Fox News is propaganda.

    Social media is much more likely to be full of information that is NOT true than to be compltely devoid of information that IS true.

    But to your point: that is why Israel now controls TikTok in the United States.

      yeah. I do find they don’t put much into misinformation. I think its because all they need is the headline since most people do not read much more.

        Tell me about it. I currently made a post and am getting hammered by morons who clearly only read the title, and not even very thoughfully at that.

      His point was “it is up to the audience whether or not they trust the press.”

      And that is 100% the case when it comes to social media.

      Social Media is much more like to be full of information that is not true that to be completely devoid of information of is true.

      That is a totally different topic and completely wrong.

    In so many ways you can’t even imagine.

    Most of it comes down to: things on today’s social media are 99.9% lies, and 1000 different ways of lying are involved all the time. That just wasn’t there. If there were lies in the official media, then it was the exception, not the normal, and the audience often recognized it, because they knew in advance what these “critical” topics were.

    But there was also the time dimension. Nobody knew at that time what had happened somewhere else in the same hour. Rarely in the same week. Outcries about war crimes often happened only years later. And that was NOT regarded as a problem but as the normal thing, things were just as they were.

      That comment is about people deciding to trust social media.

      I will “bite” on your ramblings.

      Do you really believe that the press of 1940s Germany and Japan was not 99.9% lies and 1000 different way of lying?

      Let’s roll it back even before 1940s. Don’t you think it is strange that it is called Spanish Flu, even though the first case was in Kansas, USA?

      All of that is correct and completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

        Thats a bit harsh. You see that in some other comments but they just did not present it very well. It has some relevance.

  A lot more Germans knew about the concentration camps than just the ones directly involved in it. People didn’t want to know and kept looking away or didn’t care for the people they believed were scum.

    It’s conditioned by the Nazis via indoctrinating Germans to hate minorities (even kids were made to join the Hitler Youth) at that time, or true apathy. Unless they were the ones who are being treated the same way by someone else. Like when the Soviets managed to arrive during the latter years of the war, they did mistreat those people (even after the war).

      Don't forget that all of Europe had a very strong antisemitism context. The Nazis didn't start from zero on their hate of the Jews, and help from the rest of Europe (and America) was scarce because of that
