When I visited the page this afternoon, the word Shoah - without acknowledging that it was borrowed from hebrew, or acknowledging the mass murder of 6 million Jews by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during WWII - was defined in the following sense:
A mass murder. (Can we add an example for this sense?) Verb shoah (third-person singular simple present shoahs, present participle shoahing, simple past and past participle shoahed)
(chiefly alt-right slang) To destroy; to remove; to take down, especially from an Internet platform. I had to create a new account, because my old one was shoahed.
Is this someone pushing the WP:fringe theory of holocaust denial? Or just narcissistic ignorance and general stupidity in the broader culture? Given that its already been defined at Shoah and on the wikpedia page, I tend to think it is all of the above.Jaredscribe (talk) 00:02, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Jaredscribe No. You're looking at the wrong page. This is lower-case shoah, not upper-case Shoah. You may note that polish has no mention of Poland or its people- and not because we're conspireing against them. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:07, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
