While it's based off of it due to Hitler's belief in Aryan supremacy, it's tilted and the tilt is definitely a factor.

While he's not Hitler level, still a douche.

That being said, it's not really the same thing. Columbus was hundreds of years ago, Hitler wasn't even one century ago. Hitler was far worse too.
Whos genocide was more successful?

Well one thing is for sure, which is that I haven't seen an indian in over a month but I see a jew every day . US wins again.

The population of Native Americans was far smaller and the physical genocide was mostly accidental due to disease. It's obviously s***ty they were enslaved and had their culture obliterated(that's a different kind of genocide), which eventually led to most of the Natives in the area dying, but it's not like Colombus was sending out firing squads and deliberately slaughtering them just because they happened to exist(he enslaved them because they happened to exist though). Also, it wasn't all Native Americans that he went after, the fact that Native Americans have a low population is due to years of s***ty colonial policies that were aiming for a cultural genocide

Basically, what Colombus did seems to fade into the background of other terrible colonial stuff. That's not correct, but it just so happens that nearly every colonial power acted like that. Hitler has uniqueness points since at the time, no one else was doing that. Again, not excusing either of them, just looking at the cultural perspective here.

What are you talking about? Ever hear of the Holodomor? That's one of a few genocides that occurred before the Holocaust. Also it wasn't just Jews who were killed during the Holocaust either, Gypsies and homosexuals were killed as well.

ColossalisCrazy and Leafy have looked pretty extensively into it. Her channel has been promoted openly by the KKK and she has leaders of the organization friended on Twitter. Combine that with the content and it is either the best made and convincing satire that has existed in some time, or she is actually for real.

Jews was just one of the more prevalent ones, yes, I know that everyone Hitler didn't like got tossed into the Holocaust too. And the Holodomor while awful, was different from the Holocaust. The reason the Holocaust is infamous is for the mechanical efficiency of it. With the Holodomor, it was a forced famine.

Also, the Holocaust didn't finish. If it had, then all the Slavs would have been destroyed. That's another thing, the Holodomor was incredibly petty and just a vengeful attack, but there was a reason behind it(a s***ty one). The Holocaust had no reason besides Hitler being a racist prick.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

I didn't mean Columbus = Hitler, just that they were both monsters in differing ways and on differing scales.

Columbus also said things like:

quote from Columbus' writings


Spoiler: click to toggle

Spoiler: click to toggle


Yeah, a lot of the genocide could be attributed to disease but Columbus flat out said that in the end, if they were of no use to him, after he had exhausted them for labor and resources they would be destroyed like outdated machinery.

Also, Adolf Hitler had many mentally ill patients killed as well as he viewed them as a blight upon the German people, another sad fact of the Holocaust that is overshadowed by other major factors. The German people largely were down-and-out after the Treaty of Versailles and Adolf Hitler came by at the right time with the right message to instill pride in a failing nation and also provide an entire race of people to blame for their struggles. This is just one of the elements as to why the Holocaust even happened.

Though my point with Columbus was that genocide, no matter the numbers, had happened before. Concentration camps had happened before (I believe the first officially recognized concentration camp was actually in the United States; look up the Andersonville civil war prison camp. It's a harrowing piece of history.

Also, thanks for the background info on the swastika. I did know, however, that it being tilted had major significance as to its meaning. However, generally, people don't immediately notice that due to its stigma which is why I didn't go out of my way to make a point of it.

Key factors here are that he got closer to succeeding due to smaller population, so there's less witnesses to talk bad about it. What he did wasn't special compared to other colonial empires. This doesn't excuse them, but it makes them stand out less. With Hitler, what he did was considered evil at the time and was rather notable within the context of the 20th century(there were other mass killings, but they were rarely quite as mechanical as the Holocaust), so he's more remembered for evil.

But the Holocaust was the first to be industrialized, that's what makes it special. Also, the Andersonville thing, while pretty bad, I'm not sure if it's on the same level. According to this site, a lot of the death was due to bad supply lines. While this happened in the Holocaust too, there are records of Hitler specifically diverting trains just to continue the Holocaust rather than the war.

Also, it's not just the Holocaust that Hitler gets remembered for. It's also for starting a massive and utterly pointless war for no real reason other than he was a racist. Say what you will about pointless wars in the 20th century, most of them didn't escalate to bloody World Wars in which Europe got torn in half.

Besides, it's not like Hitler is the only person to have their name go down in flames. Do you think people named Stalin, Mao, Osama, Hussein, or Kim have a fun time?
