    That’s a lot of learning from the British Empire too then.

    And from that other moustached Austrian/German, Ed Bernays, on how to sell the genocide to the public. Top “advertising or marketing” [“crystalizing public opinion”/“manufacturing consent”] you got there, USA.

      Yeah, the British invented concentration camps. Or at least used them in the Boer wars, I guess they probably weren’t the first to gather people in camps to deal with some portion of them running a resistance.

      The Nazi innovation was the gas chambers.

        The Nazi innovation was the gas chambers.

        And quite a silly one.

        They already had Ed Bernays style mass indoctrination methods… why bother getting people on trains to gas chambers [nor even the gas chambers on the trains], when you could just have them decide to make their own way to injection centers

        Much more cost efficient, on both the state’s transport costs, and the costs of the poison.

        /dark.

        :(
