You didn’t invest. No tickie, no ridey

Hitler didn't attend Horst Wessel's funeral. But Goebbels did.

Cool, but not a real zoom. Scopes can’t go that deep—optical ones stop at microns. You need an electron microscope for fine detail. It’s stitched/CGI to show scale. Any modern VLSI chip (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, etc.) looks like this, since they pack billions of transistors in layered patterns.

Sending people from Greece or Hungary or Italy to be gassed in the Generalgouvernement was taking them from one Nazi-occupied place to another Nazi-occupied place.
That it was ‘outside Germany’ isn’t relevant.

They were all fully under control of the SS regardless of where in the Reich they were. Putting people into the concentration camp system wasn’t sending them out of control of the Reich. It was just sending them to the place in the Reich where they would be abused or killed or both.

Death camps were death camps regardless of where in the German Reich they were located. They were in the Generalgouvernement because that’s where the Jews were, and the KL system drew other relevant populations there because that’s where the killing facilities were.

I’m going to resist the temptation to explain which KLs were inside the borders of Germany (even if they were in Ostmark, formerly Austria, for instance).
I’m going to resist those temptations because it doesn’t matter.

There’s a meme that KL Auschwitz was outside Germany’s borders.
I’m going to resist the temptation to explain how and why KL Auschwitz, the Operation Reinhard camps and other parts of the KL system were in the Generalgouvernement rather than in territory annexed to Germany or whatever.

11/ In no small coincidence, Peter Thiel also happens to have co-founded PayPal with none other than Elon Musk.

10/ Yarvin's ideas are influential among Silicon Valley insiders like billionaire Peter Thiel, who has been friends with Yarvin for years. Thiel was an early supporter of Donald Trump in 2016 and is responsible for introducing him to J.D. Vance, whose political rise he also funded.
