Saying This These Days Really Is Like Yelling At A Brick Wall But Here Goes Again:

Its frustrating that people are going "hey look at all these things which trump is doing which is similar to what Hitler did when he was in power, we are so fucked" and then just not mentioning the rise in antisemitism.

Like antisemitism was a major part in why hitler was elected into power.

Hitler blamed Germanys issues on jews. During his election, he pulled back from spouting antisemitism to make himself look more sane, but all the issues he campaigned on were issues that were blamed on the jews.

He didn't say "jews are ruining the economy but I can fix it", he knew that people were already blaming jews and campaigned on that.

According to the ADL, only 3 months after Oct 7th, antisemitism increased 360%. And it's not like rates of antisemitism has started to go down.

You cannot talk about how facisiam in the US is on the rise, compare it to the rise of hitler and not mention the rise of antisemitism.

Jew hatred was essential to hitlers rise to power and his actions. You cannot talk about jewish history and erase us from the picture.

I don't support genocide.

That's why when people say openly, explicitly, and repeatedly that they want to kill all the Jews, I don't support them.

It's really that easy.

Ukrainian Children about the War

80 years ago, today, Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by the Allies. The camp, one of six death camps created specifically to end all Jewish and Romani life in Europe, was the site of unspeakable horrors and over one million deaths.

It is probably the most infamous and recognizable portion of the tragic and evil story of the Shoah, the Holocaust. The date of its liberation was designated International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

But by now, I think, it is quite clear that too few gentiles actually remember.

Like many Jews, the Shoah is not some history lesson I read in a textbook with black and white pictures in middle or high school. It’s personal. It profoundly impacted my family in every conceivable way.

None of my relatives were at Auschwitz-Birkenau, that we know of. No, they died in Ravensbrück, at SS Polizei stations, and in pits in Lithuania. Five survived. Two are with us still. And we’ve all watched as the world has forgotten.

We’ve watched as, regardless of politics, a murderous regime that destroyed two-thirds of European Jewry - over six million people, one and half million of them five years old or younger - has been used as nothing more than a rhetorical weapon. We’ve watched as phrases used to justify our deaths 80 years ago, in living memory, are casually used again today.

We’ve watched as, once again, we are blamed for the harms others inflict on us. We weren’t loud enough, we were too loud, we didn’t say the right things, we didn’t say anything at all, we didn’t look how we should, we looked too much like ourselves. And so violence against us is not only understandable, but acceptable.

I remember the Holocaust. I have no choice. It is deep in my bones. It’s in my DNA. I can never forget what happened. No Jew can.

And it disturbs me, profoundly, that so much of the rest of the world has.

May the memories of the victims of the Holocaust be for a blessing. And please, remember them.

"There are no [insert hated nationality or ethnicity here] cilvilians/noncombatants" is standard genocidal rhetoric, by the way. If you are saying this, you are giving a standard justification for genocide. It's right up there with the related tactic of insisting that all members of [insert hated nationality or ethnicity here] are guilty of some collective crime. I want to be clear here. These are both always very wrong, very bad, and very dangerous. It does not matter if you think you are right this time, and the people you are fighting are really evil and deserve it. Everyone who has ever said these things has believed that too.

If you're upset that Elon Musk threw up a Nazi salute today, but have spent the last 15 months harassing (((Zionists))) in the name of Gaza/Palestine, then you're not mad about the Nazi salute, you're just looking for an excuse to dunk on Musk.

You're not an ally against Nazis, you never were, and you're not fooling anyone who actually is.

Gee, maybe filling social media with far-right neo-Nazi content with Elon and the GOP's open white supremacy, and filling it with far-left neo-Nazi content with celebrations over Jews being slaughtered, promoting blood libel and conspiracy theories, and presenting antisemitism as social justice, have rotted young people's brains.
