No Stupid Questions

Just get the torrent

My man, try Z-Library. Check the subreddit for the latest working URL's that won't get you doxxed.

Library.

Piracy, maybe see if Internet archive has any of his writings. I would just try to find a source where I didn’t have to pay for it.

Ask a certain person called Anna, she might have it in her**'s archive**.

Buy it from a used book store. He won't get any money from it and you'll support a local small business

Download a book? Illegally? Online? Through a popular torrent website?

I would never do such an illegal and terrible thing!!

go to a library and borrow it?

You could just buy the book second-hand. Authors don't get any of that money, and you'll be able to get it for much cheaper than new.

Google the book title + “.epub”

I think people overthink spending money on things they don't support. I think stealing it is justified, but If you're doing academic studies or learning how to deprogram people, go ahead and buy a Nazi's book if you have to.

That said, if you're looking to argue with Holocaust deniers, trying to defeat them by studying their arguments is a classic blunder.

Conspiratorial thinking is rooted in social maladies, and attachment to a theory is a downstream effect. You can no more talk a Holocaust denier out of their belief with evidence than you can fix a broken water main by sand-bagging the street. If you're trying to deprogram someone, you've got to learn how to get them to open up about the background experiences that led them to look for these answers and then usually find ways to help them find alternate communities that obviate their need for the conspiracy in a way that at least feels self-directed.

It's a much slower process, but if that's what you want to do, read up on that and don't bother wasting money on Irving's book.

The ethics of social media dictate that stealing from people you've decided are evil is somewhere between totally ethical and a moral imperative.

Just break the law lol. The law is made up horseshit 😆

People who deny genocides (either the current ongoing one in Palestine as committed by Israel, or the one carried out by the Germans in WWII) are the lowest of the low. Absolute scum. To see people make excuses for atrocities as the Nakba, Sabra and Shatila, and the Holocaust in real time, as one is happening has been the most disturbing development of our age.

I don't think downloading things illegally is OK, and I also don't think spending money on genocide deniers like Irving is ethical. I also don't think reading Irving will help you in any way, because genocide deniers are pretty much all the same, and there's not a shred of credence or validity to what they have to say. If you still wish to see genocide denial and defense of people who say stuff like "Erase them, their families, mothers and children. These animals can no longer live", and the denial of that which is obvious, you'll find plenty of it available for free in modern day conservative shitrags talking about the ethnic cleansing Israel has been carrying out for 77 years.

edit: on the ebooks topic, i've had a pretty good experience with the kobo libra color ereader along with calibre, but it's a miserable experience trying to read graphic novels on it-- any recommendations (that are not amazon/apple/android/google) for an ereader that can do graphics well?

Ugh, of course those people would point to any source that supports their current claim, without vetting the source itself. They'll even tell you that of course they don't support antisemitism, while spouting that antisemitic Irving shit all day, and that's okay because they pick and choose only what they agree with out of the rhetoric. As though they couldn't find sources that support their point without the concomitant antisemitism.

First and foremost, then, I'd go about this by not denying the genocide in Gaza and not saying stuff such as "I bet you love Palestine" like it's a pejorative, spacecadet.

My second point would be to recognise that there is no moral or ethical reason not to pirate Irving's works. If you were able to find it at a library, it would be there because someone paid a publisher for the copy and likely some kind of library license. Some of that goes to Irving. There is no way to deny him profit and acquire his work legally. So, pirate it. Fuck that guy.

Check if it's available at a library?

Legally, you could buy a used copy if you could find one.

People you disagree with may still produce something of value to you.

I would start by asking Anna if she has the book in her archive.

You could… hahum… found it there, lying on the internet… hum

You can wheels within wheels this shit for eternity. Answer this question and you'll have the answer. What do you want to do? Do that.

You can steal it, buy it, borrow it, whatever. Ultimately there is no objective right answer. If you think you'll be better equipped to counter argue the message by reading it, I say that's more honorable than arguing against it without knowing what it is.
