It is easy to talk about the Holocaust as a very dark chapter of history.

It is easy to talk about the Holocaust as a very dark chapter of history. Burns fails to see any parallels, however, with our last two years when citizens cheered their neighbors being fired and banned from restaurants, and obediently presented their “vaccine cards” to show they took a shot that didn’t even prevent transmission. (Moronic but also incipient fascist). Oh but Democrats are soooo good, Burns attests with his biased montage. Even Michael Moore called the vaccinated “the good people.” Other prominent Dems wanted unvaccinated people banned from hospitals. Noam Chomsky called for them to be expelled from society altogether. Burns was probably cheering him on. What a dope! He is pathetic as this type of dividing and stigmatizing marked the beginning of Nazi Germany. The novel, liability-free shots were apparently right for every single person in the country. I have never heard of any medical treatment with that profile.
It's actually been going on well before this. I think in some respects it's dangerous to frame it in this way. Better examples, in my view, lie in the realm of political violence. In the immediate postwar era (World War I) up through 1931 or so, the Weimar government always felt the Left presented the greater political threat and focused their efforts in that direction. Even prominent Social Democrats within the Berlin police establishment viewed the German Communist Party as a greater threat to peace and stability than the National Socialists. We see to some extent a mirror image of that now, with things like the CHAZ disappearing in the rear view mirror. The Weimar government missed the salient fact that political violence is political violence regardless of the rhetoric it's wrapped in.
Cancelling people based on identity reasons (be it an artificial racial construct or some kind of gender-based criteria) was happening well before COVID. All COVID did was add another reason to cancel and vilify.
Political violence has been a hallmark of the left in the US for a couple of decades. It is hilarious to earth thr handwringing over Twitter by people who cheerfully ignored explicit open death threats against their political opponents as long as they controlled the forum.
People need to read “They thought they were free.” A very large portion of Nazi and Fascist supporters believed that privately allowing that some went too far exonerated them of “excess,” never acknowledging that their own core positions were evil.
