I don’t think that perspective is consistent with facts or evidence. Do you have anything tangible to back it up, or is it just your assumption?Suppressing things and pushing them out of the mainstream can be quite effective, and that’s exactly why it’s dangerous - if it wasn’t effective, there’s be no real reason to fear a ban.
Imo it’s good so long as it’s constrained to just the Holocaust. Slippery slopes can exist but not everything is one, and in this case it’s likely that they intend to just stop there. There’s overwhelming agreement among historians and everyone who’s not a Nazi on this and this alone, there is nothing to be gained from debating or rehashing it and virtually everyone trying to is acting in bad faith. This isn’t necessarily true of all claims of genocide, and there are always going to be edge cases where there’s room for reasonable disagreement.
