However, please keep this in mind - that being a Nazi sympathizer does not automatically invalidate one’s opinions on other topics.
If you think that Nazis are worth sympathy, then you’ve demonstrated that your decision-making ability is warped enough that it does invalidate your other opinions.

Holy shit lol what an incredible self own/admission of being a Nazi.

His argument itself is in bad faith. “The Chinese are Nazis because a Nazi sympathiser said so”. No shit he’s getting shat on.

To be fair, you guys argue in bad faith as well right now. The statement is factually correct. A person with one wrong belief can still be correct about something else. Otherwise by your logic all vegetarians are nazis as well because Hitler didn’t eat meat either.

nazi sympathizers don’t get good faith because they’re excusing people who want to wipe many of us from the face of the earth. I don’t care about how right their opinions are - they’re my enemies.

“Being a Nazi means your testimony is not worth hearing outside of a courtroom” =/= “If you believe anything a Nazi also happened to believe, that means you are a Nazi”
You invoke logic, but the formal relation is completely different.

Theoretically he could still be right but there is no reason to believe he is. He doesn’t speak any local languages, has never done any fieldwork in the region, and his methodology/analysis is extremely unscientific and poor. I would encourage you to read his articles and see for yourself-it’s based on extremely shoddy and weak correlations w/ no serious causal connection whatsoever. I was honestly shocked at how poor the “scholarship” was considering how many people take it seriously.
There’s obviously extensive evidence of persecution and forced cultural assimilation, but that is not genocide. These things matter.
