I was addressing the author’s and apparently Burns’ equivalence of these events, alleged to tell us something about the Holocaust:
“magazine covers featuring anti-immigrant rhetoric; pictures of anti-Muslim graffiti; a brief news clip of Charleston mass-shooter along with the headline “Hatred towards blacks, Hispanics, Jews”; a protest sign that read “Build the wall, nice and tall” along with audio of Donald Trump saying “My first hour in office, those people are gone”; a Fox News clip about replacement theory; videos and images from the Charlottesville protest and riot and the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue; and finally, footage from the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol” all of which, in my view, reflect a loathing of Donald Trump and deployment of the Holocaust in pursuit of that loathing.
If Burns had referred to Armenia, the Holodomor, Cambodia, or Rwanda as examples of crimes against humanity comparable in some misguided sense to the Holocaust at least he would have an argument. Instead, he directs his hatred, as so many on the left do, toward America.
And I beg to differ. The deployment of industrial technology to wipe out 6 million in short order while keeping meticulous records of what they were doing was "new".
And BTW, replacement theory was first advanced by the UN in 2000, not Fox news.
