Germans didn't know Jews were ultimately getting gassed. They didn't know, didn't care. They just supported Jews being rounded up and washed their hands of Jews' ultimate fate. Out of sight, out of mind.

The ONLY differences this time around, is communications technology and early resistance is stronger. In the 1940s, nobody would know where El Salvador or Libya was--or care. There would be no cameras, no reporters, no Congressman.

But it's the same fucking mind set. We compare so that it does not happen again--ultimately. And it IS happening, the same fucking things that led up to it. Hitler took America's example of how the Indigenous and kidnapped Africans were treated. Those proto-Holocaust tendencies are in our DNA.
