One of the dangers of pretending the only victims of the Holocaust were Jewish, is it ignores loads of other groups they started with....
LGBTQ, mental/physical disorders, immigrants, etc
There's this strange belief among right wingers that as long as you don't go after Jewish people, everything is fine.
So we're seeing everything happen just like it did 80 years ago.
Gotta cull the weak and undesirables in your pursuit of the Master Race. What did you think it was all about when he made IVF so much easier?
As a Christian, I really wish more people would read history and realize they're wielding a double-edged sword... I wonder how many conservatives have The Hiding Place on their shelf?
What's the sense of memorializing an actual historic holocaust if we all go on to allow another one to happen in real time?
What's the sense of saying 'never again' when it is happening right now?
Don't worry, people are signing petitions! I'm sure that's all that was needed for Hitler and his Nazis to stop the holocaust of disabled people too. No need to panic. Just write your name down on this list.
Considering the "never again" crowd are doing their own, it's pretty clear that the term in general was bullshit.
We weren't...
The entire point of the comment you replied to is we never were
You and many others like yourself heavily Amplified propaganda bullshit. Attacking the candidate that wasn't the fascist in a two-way race. Enabling a path to victory for the fascist by just a few percentage points.
We cannot rely on people like yourself for solidarity and simple self harm prevention. They have a point. Democrats fucked up. We expect that of them. But you fucked up too. Though that hasn't stopped you from lecturing people as if you were right.
