I understand it inasmuch as I can see why some groups can be motivated by sheer intellectual dishonesty to deny it. At the same time I do not understand how people can outright lie to the world, if not themselves.

They hate the Jews.
They don't want them to get any sympathy. They want it to happen (again). True or not doesn't matter so much. It's like conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories are often about hating a certain group and making up a story to give you and others like you, a reason to hate them more.... and possibly act on it (you only need one person crazy enough to do it.

some of the more nefarious Holocaust denial conspiracy theories center around it being some kinda ploy by Jewish people to garner global sympathy, so that they can use it towards their end for some kinda domination.

They think that by denying the knowledge of the Holocaust, or questioning the numbers, they can soften people on the idea of committing another Holocaust. It is that simple.

Holocaust denial in the US began with father of the neo-nazi movement George Lincoln Rockwell. He was a WW2 veteran in the European theater who had actually witnessed a death camp being liberated. However, he denied it had happened through a letter in a gentlemen's magazine of all places. He even made up fake sources to back himself up so that he sounded knowledgeable. In later correspondences with other antisemites, he admitted that his reason for spreading misinformation was that society was turning against antisemitism precisely due to the horrors of the Holocaust.
I'd advise you to look for the episode about him on the podcast "Behind the Bastard". A lot of techniques the alt-right use today came from Rockwell. For example, things like Ben Shapiro debating inexperienced college students on campuses to bolster right-wing concepts like race-realism in the public eye. --- "But who prays for Satan?

What did I reframe? There's a subtle but important difference in your framing, what you said: He's saying it's not real holocaust denial if the person doing so knows they're lying. This (unlike what I said) supposes that such a group of people exists. My statement made no such assumption. Secondly, you are somewhat playing a connotation game. We know the following connotations are true: Holocaust denier = bad thing So by reframing what I said as "A person who knows the holocaust happened but says it didn't anyway isn't a real holocaust denier" The connotation of that framing is: "A person who knows the holocaust happened but says it didn't anyway isn't a real [bad thing]" Obviously such a person would generally be a bad person, but by highlighting how I am making a semantic distinction, your framing can go to imply I am somehow "defending" such behavior, which I obviously wasn't. So hopefully that answers your question. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you need to write a dictionary to explain how I reframed your singular sentence, I probably didn't. That's how those kind of rhetorical tricks work. They are nuanced, they require detailed unpacking, that many don't bother doing. I will say it's a bit disingenuous on your part to ask for clarification and then use the thoroughness of the clarification as evidence against it's own merit. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ...
