It was 75 years age today when Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz.
For most of the jews, romas, gay and political oppositionals, it was already too late.

Remember what happened so that it can never happen again.

Thank you for posting this reminder. It is fascinating to me, that having defeated the existential threat of fascism at an enormous cost, white nationalism in on the rise in the U.S. with the President being its biggest cheerleader.

Comparing Auschwitz to modern day America, I never thought it was possible but you've sunk lower

Again, you are twisting the post for no other reason than to be glib. There is no doubt white nationalism is on the rise in the U.S. Your man, Trump, refused to disavow the endorsements he received from neo-Nazi's and klansman. That speaks volumes. It is hardly comparing the situation line for line to what became the Holocaust. Lying is all you have.

let me rephrase, you are comparing a global rise in nationalism (not just the United States) but around the world to the systematic murder of 6 million people

Me saying these things and 'reading' your words for what you really mean, is no different than what you all do with every political statement presented by a conservative leader and especially Donald Trump

As you can see in this thread, the link between antisemitism and the Trump administration is pretty clear, along with his desire to return to the 50's.

Clearly you fail to grasp that what you want my words to mean and what they do are two different issues.

It's relevant. I knew you couldn't see it.

Exactly. The rise in fascism, racism, white supremacy, and anti-Semitism is "tied to Trump" because Trump has ALLOWED fascist, racists, supremacists, and anti-Semites to tie THEMSELVES to him.

Hell, he's even fkng ENCOURAGED it. Ridiculous that someone would even TRY to deny it. But, then again, considering the source....

Lol yeah, not gonna defend antisemitism. I'll just say, Ivanka being jewish along with Donald's son in law and numerous friends and family.

But its just as easy to go down the laundry list of democrats and their little incidents but you wouldn't say those are real racist or real antisemitic comments/actions...Now would you? You should take a look at some of the comments from Illhan Omar if you want to see some anti-Semitism in our government. Do those count? What about Ralph Northam in blackface? Didn't think so.

ETA: Its a shame you derailed another thread with your orange man bad syndrome.

No "need" for you to defend it, you just defect , wink and wave when it goes by.

as you casually ignore my comments

There is always a point where it is just not worthwhile. I said something once to a guy who also felt neglected and he accused me of calling him a pig - which I did not - swine are fairly bright on the grand scheme of things - so if its not worth it, its just not worth it.

If there's been one universally acknowledged lesson from the Holocaust, it's "Remember, so it doesn't happen again."

What can that possibly mean, other than using that example from history as a warning whenever people even start to go down that path once more?

Precisely. The... guy... who rejoices about Trump's appointments of far right judgeships, or the "erasing of Obama's legacy" while offering little or no specifics as to WHY that fills him with such glee. Wink wink, nod nod.

It MUST be just differing ideological perspectives on the role of government and.... oh wait.... where are his denouncements herein of right winged acts of terrorism, or of the hateful rhetoric employed by his "chosen one"?

Where is his condemnation of the rise in anti-Semitic acts of violence and expressions of hate? His commentary on discrimination, on black people and other minorities being confronted, insulted, and sometimes assaulted by Trump inspired bigots, and/or having cops called on them for NOTHING.

I'm sure a person such as he with his keen sense of propriety (wink wink, nod nod) MUST'VE condemned and spoken out about all of THAT. Otherwise one MIGHT be inclined to conclude that he doesn't give JACK shit about ANY of that.

One MIGHT even reach certain conclusions as to WHY.

And yet you're the one telling people to look the other way *now*.

please step down off your holier than thou platform

I've seen your "holier than thou" thing in two posts now, and it's already gotten old. As my kids used to tell me, "Get some new material."

And now back to laughing at you for comparing Trumps presidency was the holocaust. This is why people don't take you all seriously when you cry about Trump. This lame sky is falling rhetoric.

Oh and glad to see I'm not the only one tired of your incoherent ramblings.
