The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

    even if they were the same word… context has meaning.

    in a politics news sub, talking about politics; you’d have to be a moron to conflate conservatives [individuals who espouse conservative politics] with something else.

      One, this is regular news. Nowhere in the title of the community or the rules listed does it say only politics news, far as I’ve seen.
      Two, you’d have to be a moron to consider people who don’t think the same way you do as morons.
      Three, morons are allowed to participate in society. If you disagree with this, well, good thing we’re in the right place to discuss discrimination.

        context.

        You wouldn’t expect an article about MC Hammer, some one saying “its hammer time!” to mean home improvement. it’s a news sub, and the article is about politics, not wildlife conservation. you’re being obtuse.

          That could actually be a great The Onion theme.
          Inflamatory - but ambiguos - headline with the article jumping from theme to theme through homonyms and context changes

          Why not? Here’s an example.

          “It’s Hammer Time”

          MC Hammer, famously known for hit song decides to change careers and go into home improvement.

          It’s completely in line with media expectations.
