    Yeah, I would absolutely expect someone with a sign of this style to call every single instance of genocide “The Holocaust”. That’s precisely the level of historical literacy I’m used to seeing from middle-class weirdos who buy these things.

      I feel like you’re getting a bit semantic. A holocaust vs THE holocaust are pretty close and the meaning gets across.

      so what kind of weirdo are you having to somehow felt the need to put the world “middle-class” in here?
