Prussian Blue being used as a user by someone also saying "top keks" rings the same for me as it does for @JennySmiles@kbin.social
The Leuchter report was an inaccurate study that was trying to disprove that there were gas chambers at Auschwitz, to try to help Nazis in court. It did this by claiming that because there wasn't any Prussian blue, that there couldn't've been cyanide in the chambers/showers, since Prussian Blue contains cyanide.
This is like saying that because you don't have a cake, your kitchen has never had an eggs.
But of course, when the walls of were tested cyanide was found.
Can't believe I need to say this but yes the Holocaust happened, and it was bad.
Prussian blue is also used in medicine, did you know that? I am a pharmacy student. There's quite a few reasons I like the name. Holocaust denial is not one of them. I also watched the Myles Power video.
Also I'll never understand why non-rightoids can't use kek, it comes from Korean to English via WoW.
Not sure who Myles Powers is, but I am glad that you're not a garbage person.
The reason why non-rightoids don't use "top kek" is because it's from 4chan. "kek" is from Wow, but "top kek" isn't.
Much like other phrases and symbols (like the Celtic cross, odal rune, swastika), once the racists use it to identify themselves, the non-racists shy away from using it.
Myles Powers is a youtuber who has a pretty popular set of videos regarding the Leuchter report.
Also, I'm still not sure I care it's from 4chan given how benign the actual etymology is, comparing it to the swastika is honestly pretty reductive if not outright offensive imo, but whatever.
