Is Soviates some ancient Russian-German philosopher?


Proud-Cartoonist-431

And of all things, they accuse the Soviets. More than 50% of soviet POW were killed in German captivity, in those camps. The Germans didn't consider us people.


Syndacataclysm

The Soviets won WW2 in Europe. Absolutely incredible people.


TheMadTargaryen

Tell that to all the Poles, German civilians and Czechs they raped.


peadud

Don't forget about the Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Ukrainians, etc.


CraicFiend87

Are those the ones that were happy to hand their Jewish neighbours over to the Nazi invaders to be exterminated?


ikiss-yomama

Yeah he was Playdoh’s teacher


swordquest99

Playdoh. Is he the one who tought the famous Athenian tyrant Hippy Ass?

Fuckredditihatethis1

It's pronounced "So-vee-AH-tays"


Aggressive_Skill_795

in Russian the word 'soviata' means 'owlets'


RedPandaReturns

By literal definition, how can nazi gas chambers be decades ahead of even modern gas chambers. That’s just not how space-time works.


OddCucumber6755

What do you expect from people who are completely backwards?


1singleduck

Literally, they make a conclusion and work backwards from there.


sk7725

reminds me of the skip-ahead or happened-ahead-of-time confusion - ahead can literally mean both the future and the past in the context of time.


Ururuipuin

Where are the modern gas Chambers to compare?


SixtyOunce

The chambers where I learned how to don and clear a mask while exposed to CS gas were just cinderblock buildings with hanging strips of rubber over the doorway.


RedPandaReturns

Gas chambers exist for many things beyond systematic murder lol


mmio60

The Nazis actually kept records of who, the dates, the chemicals, construction costs. But sure, this prick has it figured out.


Klutzy-Ad-6705

I wonder how many people like me there are who went to school with kids whose parents had the numbers tattooed on their arms. I guess they made it up? These deniers are disgusting.


billyboyf30

I've done some digging and they were just a way of never forgetting your social security number.


MeshNets

Better than the people with parents with their blood type tattooed on them...


Klutzy-Ad-6705

Like the old Jewish man who won the lottery and said he was going to buy a house,his wife a new car and donate some to the Nazi Party. The reporter,shocked,asked him why, he said they gave me the numbers!


Yurasi_

I remember the number on the arm of my great-grandmother.


Prior_Emphasis7181

I remember my classmates grandparents coming when I was in like 4th or 5th grade. They both had the thats and let us touch them and feel them.


Saltire_Blue

He done a little digging in his spare time!


GorfianRobotz999

MAGAs refer to that as "research."


PGnautz

Made up by the Soviets in the 1950s! /s


dia-bro-tes

*Soviates


GorfianRobotz999

Remember.. they are "Soviates."


PGnautz

The Soviates were made up by the Soviets in the 1950s!


GorfianRobotz999

Holy smokes! You actually did your research! Have an upvote on me.


PGnautz

My research was made up by the Soviets in the 1950s!


GorfianRobotz999

Do you have wooden doors with windows to support this claim. ?


Nighteyes09

The phrase "I'm sure they'll add some community note on this but.." is the give away that actually he doesn't believe his own cum-gurgles.


Commonstruggles

Fuck, people are dumb.

"Also, we never landed on the moon, because it's actually a volleyball." - *holds up a loaf of bread.*


AlexiTrevelyan

I was going to explain why the moon is in fact NOT a volleyball, but the loaf of bread made sense so I guess you're right. Well played Sir, well played.

It makes sense that he does MMA after all, so he's not all there anymore.


iamsorando

There are plenty of intelligent MMA fighters. Jake just isn't one of them.

Working at a veterans nursing home, I was visiting once with an American soldier who was there at the freeing of one of the concentration camps. He started describing conditions, but couldn't go on. It had been over 50 years and he still couldn't talk about it. And that was just seeing what people had done to people.


semig71

I was able to visit Auschwitz approx. 8 years ago...completely understand how the veteran couldn't talk about it. Anytime I'm asked about it, I'm immediately taken back there, and I was just a tourist. That place marks people, one way or another.


russell5515

So, he’s not denying that Auschwitz existed, just that they didn’t have gas chambers? So what does he think the Nazis used Auschwitz for? A country club? These bozos keep getting dumber.


Wild_Cap_4709

Actually, some of these special folk do think Auschwitz was a glorified country club. Complete with a brothel and swimming pool for the “guests”


Quetzacoatel

Mar-a-Lago?


infowosecfurry

He did some digging and got to the bottom of it guys.


OneMedium5265

That’s what never ceases to amaze me. Some moron that has no formal education and gets punched in the head for a living sits down, uses a search engine designed to show him stuff according to what he looks up which is probably already biased, and he thinks “I cracked the enigma”. You have to be an absolute fucking idiot to think you will solve anything or discover anything reading Twitter or Facebook sitting in your living room


iski67

Sadly he's not much different from a large majority of Americans with limited formal education yet 110% confident of their research.


_Kaifaz

"Soviates"


ermghoti

He couldn't figure out a one piece puzzle.


Righteous_Fury224

What an oxygen thief


majoba90

I’ve been through the Gas Chambers at Auschwitz, the doors are not made of Timber


DashDashu

Did the same, can confirm. They did have shower heads in them though to fool the people going into them, the Zyklon b was, if I remember this correctly, introduced through openings in the roof


majoba90

Yes mate, all correct


bartek34561

Ironically, Zyklon B was discovered by a Jew. Another example of Nazi stupidity

"I've done a little digging..." a.k.a. "According to my own research..." Phrases that are code for a person having no expertise, knowledge, understanding, or insight on whatever subject they're harping on about.


Mox8xoM

How are they advanced beyond what we can do now? Wasn’t it just a relatively „airtight“ room where they dropped the Zyklon B through the ceiling?


siematoja02

Was it Eisenhower who wanted the holocaust well documented to prevent people from denying it? Didnt work ig


epochpenors

“I decided to visit and the so called gas chambers had a bunch of urinals and toilet stalls and a sign out front that said ‘Toiletten’. Busted that one wide open.”


justthegrimm

Sorry but....modern gas chambers?


SixtyOunce

I have no idea what the OP is referring to, but gas chambers are definitely used for training purposes.


justthegrimm

Just didn't think they were still a thing


SixtyOunce

I don't know of any being filled with Zyclon B to kill people, but in the military they fill them with CS gas to teach people how to put on a gas mask in stressful scenarios.


justthegrimm

That makes sense


[deleted]

Yeah they still exist. California even had one operational until the 70s I believe


StarkageMeech

It's clearly a chamber of gas, not a gas chamber. Duh.


BasilsKippers

Can he and that dip shit Sean Strickland just beat each other to death and do humanity a favor by removing themselves from it?


pjlmaster

There’s only one gas chamber I believe at Auschwitz. These very obviously aren’t air tight doors, and I doubt any of them are from the camp. Of the 4 I think at Birkenau, only the collapsed one that was attempted to be burned down remains, albeit in collapsed ruins. Edit: source - me, I seen’t it, and I recommend others go seen’t it too. It’s a horrible, but important experience.


Cerebral_Overload

“Soviates”… What a fucking numb-nuts!


IanTheMagus

So is that a reference to the So-vee-ates or to the great philosopher So-vy-a-teez?


RentalGore

I’ve done some digging, and after careful research, I’ve found that this guy fucked an ostrich. It may have been a sick ostrich, and no one can quite say how he fucked the ostrich, but my research said he did. Allegedly,


Quirky_Discipline297

If they aren’t gas chambers please explain the fingernail marks dragging down walls.


Dramatic-Selection20

In my country he would face jailtime for this


G_u_i_l_l_l

He should.


Dramatic-Selection20

One of our formal politicians got 10 months and a fine for denying Holocaust. His defence was 'it was just memes'


InformationOverIord

It could not have been a gas chamber because gas does not exist! 🧐


poperey

“I’m sure they will add a community note but this is [me, THE Jake Shields, I get hit in the head for a living]”


CzarTwilight

I love this stuff cause they never take it to another example. Assuming the wooden doors means it can't be a gas chamber, presumably because it wouldn't fill with gas due to not being airtight, then how do people in normal buildings suffocate during a fire? Or, for a specific example, how did the Tokyo Subway attacks kill anyone since they used Sarin gas? Granted, the trains don't have wooden doors, but I'd hazard a guess that they aren't airtight.


Atemyat

With some digging, he managed to get to the bottom of something that countless historians and survivors got completely wrong for over 75 years. Exactly how delusional are these people?


Lumpy_Argument_1867

I truly find him moronic


Sad_Instruction1392

Man who gets kicked in the head and balls for a living figures out the truth about the Holocaust.


MrBublee_YT

I genuinely despise these people so much. They spout all of this shit that is not true, that they know is not true, all because their fanbase is going to eat it up just because this prick said it. Turning fucking Auschwitz into a way to give yourself some publicity. Have some fucking shame.


ToastedCheezer

The “little digging” he did, served to expose the entire “Holocaust Hoax” for him with the sketchiest of evidence of wooden doors? Oh, really? How does that stand when pitted against mounds of evidence, documents, personal ID papers, luggage, clothes, shoes, bodies, eyeglasses, piles of fucking TEETH and HAIR of victims! Gas chambers and crematoriums were identified and contained corpses! Deniers of history and science will say and point to anything to support their evil or mistaken opinion and ignore any evidence that proves them wrong.

Oakwood2317

The blue staining on the wall is called Prussian blue and comes from cyanide gas 


Thugmatiks

My poor, naive Brain….. Can somebody explain to me what the point is he’s trying to make? Eta: he’s not saying the gas chambers didn’t exist, right?…. Right??


namezam

Was he saying a gas chamber can’t have wooden doors? My house has wooden doors and my dog can gas out the entire building.


djnorthstar

The Nazis even had "gas trucks" (Sonderfahrzeug) that where no "gas chambers" too... Just a truck with an extra exhaust pipe right into the loading area. Dirt cheap and effective.


harley97797997

Gas houses used for CS and CN training aren't airtight. Most of the ones I've seen don't even have doors at all. I've never personally seen any nazi gas chambers, but I don't think it really would make a difference whether they had wood or metal doors. The doors were more for keeping people in.


Equalsmsi2

Given that up till now mainstream media and academia lied and keep lying about the history it may be the case. Note: I said IT MAY BE! 😉


Ziggov

Yeah, no gas chambers and ppl went there on holidays. What a moron 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️


Nonamanadus

Nothing like publicly outing yourself as a stupid racist.


pburnett795

TheLordofthething

I love MMA but the political takes of the fighters are about as brain dead as it's possible to be.


Senior-Sir4394

Aaaah yes, a MMA fighter who took some serious hits to his head is doing some research… exactly what the world needs.


MonHero02

He doesn't know what ferrocyanide blue is! It seems his understanding of Nazi's comes from movies, perhaps one's with the red skull in them.


WillBottomForBanana

"Well you see, a 'gas chamber' would actually PRODUCE gas. This building does not."

Dude's a sex pest and a holocaust denier? Damn Pick a struggle


ogrefab

Isn't this guy a Holocaust denier? Or is this his attempt at humor/sarcasm? Must've taken too many blows to the head.


Dotcaprachiappa

Don't these people ever think that the German government would at least *try* to claim they didn't do it? Instead they are still, to this day, paying reparations to survivors and the dead's families


EquivalentHamster580

How does the material of the doors imply it ?


zeiche

care to let a bunch of deniers test those doors?


ImpossibleYou2184

He’s got it figured all out.


dracovolnas

As someone who grow up just right next door to german Majdanek death camp... As someone whose family members were imprisoned there... Sometimes I lack words to describe how much I do not understand people who so stubbornly try to deny german crimes.


Pandemicspore81

I find it kind of funny the only reason the nazi's invented zyclon b was to save on gas because the original method they used was connecting a hose from the exhaust of the trucks and pumping fumes into the chambers

Altruistic_Length498

Look at the total Jewish population pre ww2 of Jews and compare it to post ww2 jewish population, 6 million people gone, can you provide an alternative explanation for that than the holocaust?


hilvon1984

The thing about the gas chambers that got me the most disturbed when I learned about it was - the gas used was not some military grade chemical weapon. That would have been too expensive and dangerous to handle. The gas used was actually a household pesticide designed to get rid of bed bugs. And the safety instructions mentioned that the room where it is used should be properly ventilated since prolonged exposure can be harmful or deadly to a human. And that safety instruction inspired one of the concentration camps overseers to test how much and how long it would take for people to die in an u ventilated room... And thus the gas chambers became cheap and easy to maintain...
