I find this position incredibly ignorant. I have no idea what kind of filter one needs to apply to reality to not see the growing signs of fascism all around.

The comparison to Nazism displays, in my estimation, an ignorance of the true evil of the holocaust. The mere attempt to compare that evil with the awful situation of the last few weeks diminishes the significance of the holocaust to the level of — politics.

Don‘t you think there is a difference between recognizing and acknowledging the rise of fascism (and its parallels with Nazism) and actually comparing to the holocaust?

There would be, so it’s good no-one does that comparison

Somehow I thought @unclebobmartin should know that every great evil has to start somehow, and to be stopped before it’s becoming great evil. As if the Holocaust was an event without historical context. Maybe it’s too tough to apply an analytical tech brain to societal issues...

It's dangerous because it doesn't recognize the situation the US is in.

I fully agree. Sebastian Haffner‘s „Geschichte eines Deutschen“ reads as if it has been written today.

Stefan, fascism is a proletarian self-respect based of superiority of one nation over all others globally. This is the basis for getting material resources from others needed to support socialistic no-economy society. Protectionism is not a fascism and it is contra-globalism.

Dafuq?! @tinasimons and I just spoke about new laws in Hungary that basically forbid being homeless. Most likely consequence: concentrate those people in a few places. What could be a name for that? 🤔 google.de/amp/s/www3.nhk.or.…

The beginnings are never obvious, and exactly that is the problem.
