100% this is the answer. They deny reality, hoping you will too. The whole goal is collective dismissal of past horrors, so they can do them again, or pretend they aren’t that bad. See what Israel is doing to Gaza for a literal playbook for what they want to do to minorities. They can’t fucking wait to pave over their bodies and pretend they’re victors of a holy war.

These aren’t people with a normal sense of empathy.
