Well I mean there was a major difference because the Axis/evil monarch(Italy, Japan and Germany) were conducting atrocities far beyond just separating families and using cold rooms, starvation and medical withholding. They were cutting people open, injecting them with viruses (human log), the hammer and string tied to hit someone in the head to see how long it would take to go insane, chlorine gas, rape (what they considered forced mating) to produce results of viruses in utero and in birth, destroying and liquiding humans (see also the chambers/human sized ovens). There’s a comparison in the amount of ruthless use of law but when it comes to the human atrocities that they enacted and the atrocities that are happening now; It’s like a pinch on the arm compared to the kick in the head.

For now. And it’s not like the Nazis started gassing people in extermination camps on day 1. That’s the thing. They started with one thing, and people didn’t like it but got used to it. Then they added another thing, and people eventually accepted that too. And so on. It got worse and worse. But once you accept the small things, you’ll accept more and more. That’s why I knew years ago during Trump’s first term, that this kind of shit would happen. It’s the natural consequence when people accept the shit they did from him back then. And now he’s worse, and people still accept it. And don’t come to me with “but look at the protests!~!!” because they don’t work. Protesting only where and when it’s allowed is not a protest, it’s a parade, and it can (and will!) be ignored by the powers that be. Well, or used as an excuse to kill more of you. Americans are being killed in broad daylight and nothing is being done. People are being sent to concentration camps on foreign soil, and nothing is being done. Minorities are losing their rights and protections, and nothing is being done. It’s kinda like how Jewish people at first only lost their rights and weren’t immediately slaughtered… But it escalated and we know where it ends. You are already collectively accepting the former.
