Widsom I remember from long ago: "Sometmes it's tough to know if someone is a 'smart feller' or just a 'fart smeller'".

Your Holocaust-smashing superpowers are no match against the question they always hurl at you: “Tell me, why do you hate Jews?” You are already boxed in with little hope of escape! They are being haughty and if you deny it you will be craven. Just deflect (it’s what they do) with whatever choice bit of revisionism you have just learned that is still warm. There is no shortage of material.

Rule Number One: If they throw the stick marked “happened/never happened,” don’t be an idiot and go and catch it for them. People who do battle with these fanatics on Twitter are constantly tripped up by this false binary. The Holocaust big picture is superficially convincing: All those witnesses! Are they all lying??? But the tapestry of lies starts to unravel when you pull on any thread. Who knew that you could take so many absurdities and weave them into a work of art? But that is what they have done.
