And I'm fairly certain the Nazis killed any jews (ethnicity), regardless of their religion.

Yes and no. If you were ethnically Jewish, it's off to death camp with you, and everyone following Judaism the religion is ethnically a Jew by definition. However, if someone could pass for a non-Jew based on the looks, then being or pretending to be Christian could allow them to blend in well enough to survive.

Of course, if you happened to practice Judaism, they probably were willing to take you in too.

Of course, a ton of non-Jewish ethnicities were tossed in as well. It was mostly racial.

I'm amused at the thought process it takes to make Sammy Davis, Jr. and Roseanne Barr the same race.  EDIT FOR CLARITY: You can argue ethnicity is the same all you like. I won't disagree. Saying the same race? I'll laugh and laugh.

Fun fact: Stephanie von Hohenlohe was probably Hitler's favorite Jewish person. Of course, that may have something to do with her "honorary Aryan" status...

Moving on:

"We rebelled against the English because of Catholics."

I remember my friend telling me that apparently the Nazis in Britain (they were apparently mocked for how the acted and dressed, over here) tried to convince the prominent Jewish figures to support them. Which didn't succeed.

If they did, Too Dumb To Live wouldn't even START to cover that. I mean... I can't even see the beginning of this chain of logic.

On the other hand, after the Protocols of the Elders of Zion came out and half of the world (hyperbole, OK?) was using it as a reason to persecute Jews, Japan decided that they'd actually kinda like to be friends with the mysterious people everyone and their dog says are controlling where do you buy your cornflakes.

Main argument against antisemitic conspiracy theories: If they are true, how come Jews were persecuted all the time?

(But I doubt that many antisemites know how to use basic logic anyway...)

At which point I'd point out I have apparently been brainwashed by the government Dwarf Fortress into being a fundie atheist communist nazi who is more than happy to murder a child and has no morals.

Instead of processing your answer, they would then explain in quite some detail exactly how the government managed to retcon history, and make you responsible for it all.

You know, it's kinda amazing how, in all conspiracy theories, DA GUBAHMINT manages to cover up aliens, ghosts, ancient conspiracies, different kinds of aliens and secret mind control projects given how inept it is at everything else.

Really DF is only 1, maybe 2 steps removed from the government. Depends on whether Tarn is a real person hired by the government or just a fictional identity manufactured by the government for the purpose of distributing DF.

That's all part of the plan. You don't think they can and so you doubt it. Or you know, it could mostly be bullshit, either one.

Holy shit. The chain never ends. No matter how much you think you have it figured out, you're being tricked.

They probably think that Jews actually plan to be intentionally persecuted, and are willing to suffer some to advance their agenda.

Anything more than minor discrimination - i.e. the Holocaust, Middle Eastern rage - is either a lie from the Dirty Kike Regime, or the work of "good" governments who realized what the Jews were up to.
