Comparing everything to Nazis is really disrespectful to the people who actually had to deal with that hardship. It also makes people dismissive of your position as hyperbole. Kinda a bit of difference in which bathroom you should use and mass genocide\extermination.
Ah yes, let's just ignore all the Republican shootings in gay nightclubs and black communities. We're only at the stage where you have to worry about your fellow citizens murdering you for your race/gender/political identity, we can't possibly forsee where this would go!
Why doesn't everyone do the right thing(TM) while under the very real threat of being taken to the nearest back alley and having their brains blown out (along with everyone dear to them)?
How the fuck do you think it started?
I don't see anyone comparing everything. Where did you get that from? Also, what makes you the judge of what would be disrespectful to WW2 survivors? And are you actually talking about Holocaust survivors or the German front in general or what?
