What should we do? Invasion? I will help in every possible way. Education is part of it. And seeing where it went last time is important. Understanding that the status quo is a child's play compared to what could be coming is important I think. So I try to share this.
But again: what rules?
The rules you have regarding the use of words. How it offends Germans to use imagery from Auschwitz. How it's not The Holocaust so it can't be described as a Holocaust. How it's not a death camp because millions haven't died yet. That you assume torture and experiments are not happening to people who have been disappeared for the sole reason they have the wrong color skin or were born in the wrong place to a location known for torture and inhumane conditions. That two dictators are currently colluding to ensure citizens who have no history of crime are disappeared into a foreign prison camp forever. Never to return. Ever. And that certainly is not a death camp because as far as you know it isn't run by serious criminals like rapists and murderers.
I always said this will offend SOME Germans.
And I never said that this is not a death camp. I never declined the similarities to early nazi Germany.
You are making this shit up in your hat. Come on!
I said, multiple times, that we are not at this Ausschwitz stage YET.
And if you are already using this imagery now, what will you use if we reach this stage?
You are arguing semantics while innocent people are shipped away to die. You're fucked. I'm done with this.
I can not influence what is happening in the USA.
The whole argument is based on the fact, that a simple statement acknowledging two different, but both valid, opinions based on different point of view, offended you.
Have a nice day
