The Nazis never saw themselves as villains.

You look at the horrible atrocities they committed and you think they MUST have known they were the monsters.

But they didn’t.

Instead, the Nazis thought they themselves were the VICTIMS.

It’s interesting to me that a common theme being pushed by troll/bot responses to my thread is:

Any Nazi comparisons (vis a vis child separations at the US border) are antisemitic because any such comparison disrespects the Holocaust.

I find this fascinating. This attempt to turn the comparison on its head, to paint anyone who notices the obvious parallels between the early days of Nazi Germany and what’s happening in the US right now, as antisemitism in an obvious attempt to suppress that comparison.

I have to wonder if this was a deliberate decision at some troll farm somewhere, or if it grew organically in trollspace. I’ll be interested to see how it propagates across social media, if it gets picked up as a standard response by the administration.

Interesting.

So, you’re saying the world should do the same thing the world did back in the 1930s? I.e. ignore the warning signs, turn a blind eye to rising fascism, and wait until we’re actually herding children into the fucking cyanide showers?

Yeah, no. pic.twitter.com/vagc0wcnul
