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.

    I believe that’s why “centrist” has become a popular substitute word, to sidestep the confusion.

      Don’t get me started on centrists. What a wonderfully convenient way for a conservative to hide their shame in social settings! Ten years ago, that word meant nothing to me. Now, it just means “embarrassed conservative” to me.

        I assume you talk about centrist as in USA context? Because what you’re saying doesn’t make much sense to me as Northern European

          Ahh, yes. Here in the U.S., some conservatives have become ashamed to admit they are conservatives, especially after the Trump presidency. So now they call themselves centrists.

          They are still very conservative. They just don’t want to be equated with the most extreme of their party. They think being somewhere between neo-nazi and neo-liberal is called “centrist”.
