Let’s back up a bit for those with selective amnesia. This is how this comment chain started:
…
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what all of America has decided best represents their values and identity. Act accordingly.
All of America, lol.

Your (overall) complacency is collectively your fault now.

If you don’t see how the exact same logic is at play, then I can’t help you. Equivalent logic structures (invalid though they be) doesn’t imply equal severity, and I’m tired of the disingenuous argument that it does.
Like the classic: “I’m suffering” “NO YOU’RE NOT, BECAUSE I’M SUFFERING MORE!!!”
Let me guess, you probably also think every German is a nazi and every Jew is a zionist? Cause that’s the same kind of generalization you’re making. The same kind of fallacy that the US and Israel have weaponized to rationalize murdering civilians across the middle east.

As a human, I love you. Maybe it’s on me, but after comparing boycotting mcdonalds to a literal war crime… to come back by trying to convince me to cut Nazi Germany some slack. You do you. I always say to people now, that you never now need to guess what you’d have done if you were in nazi Germany, it’s whatever you’re doing now. I don’t expect everyone to have taken a Crack at hitler. Or to have sabotaged a fuel truck. Or have sheltered a Jew. But, apparently, what YOU would have done is write scathing rebuttals to the Allies who were critical of the bystanders. You would have been arguing that the rest of the world was asking too much of the German people.
