Your problem is comparing Hitler's holocaust to anything self proclaimed nazis do today. It's far more effective to just ridicule the handful of them instead of trying to be violent.

It is absolutely an apt comparison. Genocide is a favored tool of fascists because it's an effective way of quickly wiping away dissident civilians and destroying the mythical enemy they have in their heads. The Nazis alive today would absolutely do the Holocaust again given the ability, and fascism is too popular in too many countries for ridicule alone to work.

Something they might do isn't worth worrying about. They don't have any means to actually commit genocide on an organized scale. You lose credibility when you overreact or overstate reality.

Sounds like the kind of thing non-Nazi Germans would've said in 1930
