Why is it that you assume I'm obviously German? I'm not...
I am aware that it is illegal to question the holocaust in a number of European countries, which is one of the primary reasons for me having doubts about its validity. There have been far too many genocides in recent history, yet the only one you're not allowed to deny is the holocaust. Why is that..?

Luckily, proposals to make holocaust denial or the questioning of it illegal have been rejected here in the UK, for I would have made this post regardless of its legality.

I'm an optimistic person, so I'm going to choose to believe that the reason so few people bother to look into politics in the modern age is because deep down they know it is irrelevant who they pick. They're still going to get fucked. Should there be just one leader who had absolute power and could potentially be a force for the people instead of the corporations, then I feel that a lot more people would be willing to do the necessary research in order to choose the right person.

So few people even bother to vote nowadays because they know it's all but irrelevant, that would change--I hope--should their votes actually count for something.
