the lesson of the holocaust is not “fascism shouldn’t happen to jews,” it’s “fascism shouldn’t happen to anyone.”

an understanding of history that penetrates more than an inch deep would show you the ideology that targeted jews in germany is targeting immigrants in the US. scapegoating, propaganda, consolidation of power. this is what “our safety is intertwined” means

@mattxiv Only about 2–3% of all Holocaust victims were German Jews. Hitler didn't deport them you moron. He invaded other countries, rounded up the Jews, and murdered them.

@mattxiv Jews weren't even the only vulnerable group that the Nazis targeted, but the fact that Roma people, Slavic people, and black people, among others, were also victims of the Nazis gets elided a lot of the time

@mattxiv Yeah, totally. Because a border debate in a democracy is exactly the same as a genocidal totalitarian regime. Deep history take, professor

@mattxiv You and everyone who like this post are literally too stupid to breathe. You all should gather around and drink this kool aid. All your friends and family will be grateful your stupidity no longer exists and your tree will be ecstatic that it’s hard work is no longer wasted.

@mattxiv Not wanting a permanent class of illegals in America for rich people to exploit isn’t fascism, genius

@mattxiv It’s a wild exaggeration to compare what’s happening now with the actual Third Reich. Anne Frank was sent to a death camp. Illegal immigrants are sent back to their countries. However, I acknowledge the illiberal authoritarian direction we are moving in and it’s troubling.

@mattxiv Anyone who wasn't a German, were also targeted. Blacks, slavs, The Spanish- Germany stopped being a country of immigrants of any walk of life, during WW2. The future was Aryan, and they'd pave the future with the bones of those they blamed. Jews were just at the top of the list.

@mattxiv No it doesn’t. It’s not even remotely close. For example, Obama literally deported more people yet the left doesn’t call him a Nazi.

@mattxiv NO IT IS NOT!!! Jews were BORN in Germany and Central Europe and were rounded up and KILLED in gas chambers! In no way is that similar to ILLEGAL immigrants being deported and sent back to their home country ALIVE!! This is insane, you all know this too but still lie

@mattxiv Hamas are affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood who got guns and money from Hitler and Nazi Germany during WW2 this is not to say there are not fascists on the right but if you are only fighting rightwing fascism, then you are giving a free pass to some fascists.

@mattxiv The ideology that targeted not only Jews in Germany saw the wholesale murder of groups it defined as "less than human" as no more than killing "vermin". There are many reasons to criticise the current US admin, and yes, even the Nazis did not start with extermination camps. But

@mattxiv The only ideology at play here is that you should not break into a country illegaly or you will be send back home! That's not quote the same as to what happened in germany

@mattxiv Naziism has a primary target of Jewish people for perceived disloyalty, sabotage and degeneracy. Every country removes illegal migrants, even the most liberal countries. Deporting people without proper processing is wrong, but it’s not inherently tied to ethnicity.

@mattxiv Putting Immigrants in the US onto the same level as Anne Frank is just mentally retarded.

@mattxiv Yeah, critical theorists have scapegoated white people and have called to “abolish whiteness” A White Majority country is inherently bad and needs to be solved or replaced with “diversity” You’re done it to every major country country when is it enough? Until we’re extinct?

@mattxiv You’d be right if we assume that most Americans in favor of deportation are of that opinion because of xenophobia and conspiracy theories. I just find it unlikely that those are the reasons for most.

@mattxiv An understanding of history would assumably begin with a proper understanding and usage of the term “fascism”.

@mattxiv The irony of this comment. I would love to hear it actually articulated how the current US is supposedly so similar to Nazi germany. Securing your borders via deportation is not the same as an intentional ethnic cleansing. The Nazis razed entire villages, killing the inhabitants.
