@sbargovox3: I didn't say you were a bigot. I was saying the bigotry generally lies on the other side. And the bigotry you think you're calling out is likely not bigotry at all. It rarely is in my experience. And true bigotry is ignored.
Where did you get the idea that saying stupid things is now the same as being Jewish in Nazi-Germany? Which part of Nazi-Germany are you referencing? What point in time? It was not a static situation. It was not a singular event. These are events spanning multiple decades. Her comparison was specific.
It's your subjective opinion that what she said was stupid, but your bias forces you to miss the accurate point being made.
@KahnArtizt: You're not understanding her point. She's not comparing it to the Jewish experience at the end in the concentration camps and furnaces. She's comparing it to when they were still a part of German society and they were being demonized. All of that eventually led to the ultimate horrors of the holocaust.
@kellian1: Even if they didn't "know" (many did, you can't honestly deny that - though you seem to believe the "right wing" myth), they all knew, and participated, plenty in all the stuff that led up to it.
The nazi's didn't just kill 6 million people in one singular event. Killing and concentration camps wasn't all that happened. There was a long process that led up to that horror. The things going on today, the things she was pointing out, were how things started in that process.
You know how that process progresses to get to that point of horror? By people sticking their head in the sands, ignoring history, and even using it to do the exact same things as the nazi's.
@skyhighgam3r: Hint: Nazi and gestapo did not just imprison and kill. It was a process, and that is exactly what she was talking about: How things ******STARTED******.
