More like equating the holocaust to bad medical care is trying to make the holocaust look better. Im exergeratting of course, but im hate when people call everything nazi.
I googled it after reading your comment cause I realized I didn’t actually know what it meant.
There were a few definitions but I’m guessing this is the one the person you’re replying to meant:
“deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something).”
Idk why they thought someone calling out Nazis for spending resources on the Holocaust up until the very end meant that people are whitewashing Nazis though.
I think the comparison is, in the eyes of Blamemeta, between a thing that is very severe and a thing that is somewhat less severe. If that’s the case, equating the two must either exaggerate the severity of the latter or minimize the severity of the former.
So I think Blamemeta is trying to say that it cheapens the severity of the holocaust, not realizing that the word “whitewash” implies that it’s deliberate, i.e. that Acharnien also agrees that Russia’s law isn’t a big deal and want to use it to downplay the holocaust. But I think it’s more likely they just meant to say “cheapens” instead of “whitewash” lol
Making something seem not-as-bad. Nazis literally genocided 11 million people. Russia is being awful about medical care. Theres an ocean of difference.
Why are the so many people on this site white washing Nazis? It seems so concetrated here.
Sorry, what? Are you saying that this comment about the holocaust makes the Nazis look… better?

You’re whitewashing Putin’s regime right now.
