Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.
Remember.
it started after the lateranian pacts and the teichskonkordat ...

TWW: I ask you not to seek wealth and prestige, instead always strive for humility and generosity, shield others from danger and be as a spear to their oppressors.
*History can be a cruel teacher. I try to remind people that history tells us to beware of the consequences of the concentration of wealth. OWOP
Also because some think they are special.
They lost touch with humanity.
It seems like Republicans, Palestinian Americans, and student are dividing people into "us and them". Social media comment authors too. I hate people I never hated.
Hate speech, heard a chunk from the groups mentioned.
Densitization and turning a blind eye. Amazing how faste people forgot about the October 7th atrocities by Hamas. People killed in their beds, taken hostage and raped. I think there are still hostages.
No disrespect and not talking about @strandrenner
"Learning to Kill
It's odd the way that societies change. Time and time again historians and sociologists are taken aback in wonder and confusion at the sudden, dramatic, and often dangerous transformations of a people’s basic nature and identity. When this occurs in individuals we call it insanity, and often look for psychological or biological illness to explain the anomaly. When it occurs in societies we call it inhumanity, and have yet to address its root cause.
There are of course the classic and well known transformations of good societies into those which embrace darkness, such as the Germans adopting the ideals of the madman Hitler, or the Italians adopting his lesser counterpart Mussolini. But there are unfortunately many lesser discussed and equally tragic examples of a societies transgressions against its own mores. From the ancient Greeks and Romans, to the modern day Bosnians and Sudanese, societies have shown a great propensity for suddenly abandoning their most cherished beliefs and morals, and in their stead, learning to kill.
To be sure, these transformations do not occur overnight, but are instead attended by a slow, steady, but ever increasing drumbeat of misinformation, dehumanization, beratement, and ultimate hysteria directed towards any perceived enemy. The voices of reason and dissent are routinely suppressed and discredited, the rule of law abandoned, and any possible sense of guilt muted by vague and overt appeals to absolute nationalism.
And so we find America today.
In the midst of an election where the abandonment of our most basic precepts of humanity have nationally and internationally been condemned and repudiated, we dare not mention them. For all our candidates have repeatedly and enthusiastically voted for their abolition.
Learning to kill.
It's not as difficult as we thought."

The Holocaust started with rich people, like an obsolete aristocratic elite and industrialists trying to evade taxation, trying to blameshift an economic crisis to someone else, anyone else.
These wealthy individuals funded a divisive propaganda campaign that amplified "us vs them" narratives.
Just like now.
