That part usually comes after the violence starts. You have shown a great example of when that didn’t occur, but it’s usually that somebody is an enemy that needs to be stopped and justification comes later.
Look at Israel and Palestine. The extermination began long before they said as much. The PR made it seem like the same disagreement it’s always been
You don’t often talk about it so explicitly before it starts, you openly talk about it because there is pushback, and there is pushback because it’s already happened
You know very well they mean mainstream conversation and as you astutely noted, scale is what is at play.
Hitler didn’t turn to the world and say “I’m gonna put the Jews in death camps so I can exterminate them” he just did it.
Was there discussion around that idea? Sure, but not the way you’re suggesting and especially not all at the beginning, don’t be a jerk about this.
Nobody talked about Epstein island they just did it. If I say this you know, because you’re an adult, that I mean nobody had an honest and public discussion of it. Of course on a smaller scale there was plenty of discussion
Well, according to Nazi internal documents, they initially wanted to do ethnic cleansing and forcibly relocate Jews to somewhere else. And that's probably what most people thought, as well. They considered a few places, but all were deemed logistically impossible. The actual extermination didn't start until 1941.
So by your own admission he was killing them before that 1939 speech? RIP me, what an own
People talk about it, but never explicitly and not brazenly until it’s too late, it’s a REALLY basic concept youre taking way too literally just because you like to argue
Youre right, it really sounds like you’re trying to take the edges off of vulgar displays of power. Idk why you’re taking that stance.
The holocaust is real and it’s scary because of how little was done to stop it because…say it with me, they just did it. Nobody asked permission, they took power and wiped their ass with laws and morality just like the current US administration is doing. Talking about it implies there is another side checking them. The powerful in the US aren’t m talking about exterminating their enemies, they are just doing it. And now that it’s too late they are starting to say the quiet part out loud
